Candice Hoyes
Candice Hoyes is a vocalist of "chill-inducing range" (Vogue) across genre, medium, and style. In 2024, she made her composer debut at Lincoln Center in the world premiere of Sadah Espii Proctor’s "adrift," the first augmented reality installation in the Social Sculptures Project, a series of public art exhibitions. Upcoming debuts in 2024-25 season include The Kennedy Center, Morgan Library and Museum, Pioneer Works curated by Moor Mother, Blacktronika Festival, Public Records, unerhört! Festival, Harlem Chamber Players, The Shed and the Center for Performance Research. Candice is a vocalist for the new Chicago-based large ensemble Rotary Connection 222, music directed by Junius Paul and led by Charlene, Eibur and Chanté Stepney. She is noted in Carnegie Hall's Timeline of African American Music because "her scholarship on such luminaries of African American cultural history represents a noticeable departure from the usual practice of isolating creativity and critical analysis, and the textures of her sound exemplify Afrofuturism as well." Currently, she is a MAP Fund recipient. Candice has been awarded fellowships by NYSCA, Manhattan Arts grants, the Woodshed Network for Women in Jazz Fellowship, NYC Women's Fund and Harvard University's Fitzie Prize. Born to Jamaican parents, she is a soprano, producer, songwriter, filmmaker, and archivist mutually steeped in exploring the untold stories of her heritage. She began composing for her voice and band after her start as an award-winning soprano (First Place, International Paul Robeson Opera Competition). Candice has collaborated with Chaka Khan, Jessye Norman, Wynton Marsalis, and Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Theaster Gates, Phillip Glass, Natasha Diggs, Makaya McCraven, Lalah Hathaway, and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Her song "Zora's Moon" is the theme song of Truth Be Told, the podcast created/hosted by Tonya Mosley of NPR's Fresh Air. Candice is a fine arts model in painter Amy Sherald's 2022 international exhibit "The World We Make" at Hauser & Wirth London. Candice's research and recordings of Duke Ellington are cited alongside Ella Fitzgerald in Vaughn A. Booker's Lift Every Voice and Swing Black Musicians and Religious Culture in the Jazz Center, winner of the 2022 Gustave O. Arlt Award in the Humanities. Candice's recent performances include Carnegie Hall, Detroit Symphony, Millenium Park, Springfield Symphony (OH), Jazz at Lincoln Center, Caramoor, NYC JazzFest, and Blue Note.
