Tyné Angela is a musician 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. Her in-progress dissertation at the University of Oxford explores how music and science meet in the ear. She examines how the ear itself is shaped by both biological and cultural forces, and how Black women throughout history have developed distinct sonic intelligences. Her research bridges sound studies and audiology, reimagining the ear as a maker of meaning, an ancestor of recording technology, and an instrument of healing.
As a 2024-25 YoungArts Fellow, Tyné’s Sustainable Symphony project was recently showcased at the Columbia Museum of Art. Her work has been featured at the Grammy Museum, Banff Centre, and TEDx, with 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. Her most recent project (Echolocation, 2025) is available here.
