Wednesday, February 4, 2015 // The Statement
8B

Alex Koi doesn’t just perform music, she embodies it. She has a quiet confidence

offstage and the kind of commanding presence onstage that can hold the rapt atten-
tion of an audience, whether she’s singing jazz or indie electronic. She says her mind is
bursting with melodies that seem effortlessly articulated, as if they always existed. Koi
is a senior studying history and jazz vocal performance. She recently left the band Caves
after a year of collaboration to pursue solo work in jazz and other improvisational music.

VISUAL STATEMENT: ALEX KOI

Koi works out chords on the piano at Vail Coop for a song she’s in the process of writing.

Alex Koi commands the attention of the audience with the band Caves at a Battle of the Bands com-
petition at the League.

Koi, dressed as Icelandic artist Björk, stands in front of a costumed crowd before performing a show
at the Luther Co-op Halloween party.

Koi relishes in playing a saxophone for the first time. She is constantly experimenting and creating
new music.

Koi performs as part of a jazz trio with bassist Adrian Koch and piano player Andrew Hintzen at the
Luminosity art exhibition opening in Kerrytown.

Alex enjoys a yogurt and a quiet moment after her Battle of the Bands gig.
