Tyné Angela is a musician, author, and doctoral researcher. Since 2010, she has released seven albums, opened for artists such as Lalah Hathaway and Vanessa Williams, and performed at diverse venues, including the Kennedy Center. She studied at Dartmouth College, where she was named a Senior Fellow with honors.
Tyné was recently selected for the 2024-25 YoungArts Fellowship. Her Sustainable Symphony project focuses on constructing musical instruments using sustainable methods and materials, specifically reclaimed wood from decommissioned acoustic pianos. Showcased in a culminating performance at the Columbia Museum of Art (spring 2025), the constructed instruments explore creative solutions to problems of accessibility, functionality, cost, and environmental sustainability. Her current doctoral research at Oxford examines the cultural impact of recording technologies and the restoration of musical soundscapes.
Her work has been featured and exhibited at venues including the Grammy Museum and Banff Center for the Arts, and her original music has led to coverage in publications ranging from Seventeen Magazine to Columbia Metropolitan Magazine. Tyné’s practice has been generously supported by the National YoungArts Foundation, the South Carolina Arts Commission, the Recording Academy, Dartmouth’s Reynold’s Fellowship, and TEDx.
