My name is Phoenix Williams, I am a music education major at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. I am in my senior year and will be student teaching next fall. My main area of focus is on the voice and I have been singing my whole life. I started taking voice lessons here at the university and its been really fun to watch my own growth as a singer. I started falling deeply in love with opera the summer after my sophomore year of college when I was in the chorus of Il Pagliacci. Ever since then my dream has been to perform as an opera singer!

I have always been interested in art growing up and I almost went to school as an art major. I don’t really make any art now due to time constraints but I did use to draw and paint a lot. I was really into creating digital art when I was in high school and I also took a pottery class. I love going to art museums and to places that have a lot of art.

I love going to museums and I love singing, too. I am a totally untrained singer. I was an instrumentalist that got thrust into an elementary general music job, where I sang almost daily. You’d think I’d be better at it.

Phoenix! That’s so awesome that opera is your passion, singing has always been one of my favorite things to do but I haven’t pursued it to the lengths you have. I hope your dream comes true!
