Anya Marie Menk is a musician, educator, composer and lyricist from Le
Center, Minnesota. Menk’s diverse skill set is displayed through
classical and jazz voice, piano and flute. She often sings heartfelt
ballads and original jazz vocalises with her smooth and agile voice. She
possesses the unique ability to self-accompany, walking a bass line and
comping as she improvises with her voice.
She enjoys writing music about social justice, such as her tribute to
victims of gun violence, “How Many More,” and her original vocalise over
“Joy Spring,” that raises awareness for the impacts of climate change.
Menk has been teaching privately for over a decade, drawing inspiration
from many thoughtful and devoted educators throughout her life. Menk is
currently working toward a Master’s degree at Berklee’s Global Jazz
Institute in Boston, Massachusetts. With social activism at the front of
her mind, she plans to continue to perform and teach long into the future.
