I'm currently finishing a Masters degree in Improvisation at the University of Michigan, where I have had been extremely fortunate to study with Andrew Bishop, Ellen Rowe, Ed Sarath, and Geri Allen. 
My primary background before coming to U of M was in classical saxophone and music education where I studied at Central Michigan University under John Nichol and Rob Smith. I hold my classical background as a crucial development for my jazz playing. 
I've had the pleasure of spending a week with David Liebman as part of his Chromatic Harmony masterclass, as well as traveling with him to Austria as part of the International Association of Schools of Jazz. I will also be attending the Banff Centre Workshop for Creative Music, led by Dave Douglas.
I've been fortunate enough to share the stage with some of the best jazz artists around today, including: Jeff Tain Watts, Geri Allen, Robert Hurst, Sean Jones, John Fedchock, Terri Lynne Carrington, Bill Carrothers, Douglas Ewart, Karl Berger, Wadada Leo Smith, Dafnis Prieto, Graham Haynes, the Temptations, among others.
I hope to keep this page up to date with my musical journey, as who knows where it may take us! Thanks for visiting!

Alex Koi is a vocalist, composer/producer, and improvising musician. Her music is the mystical translation between the privacy of her inner world and the somatic extrication of such. Through polyphonic narrative, ecstatic release, and coy murmurs, she bends between her diverse musical influences in Jazz and improvised music, the avant-garde, rock, and electronic music. She has had the privilege of collaborating with musicians, composers, visual artists, directors and dancers at venues such as Lincoln Center, the Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Joe's Pub, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, MassMoca, The Oculus, Toronto Downtown Jazz Festival, Public Records, and more. She recently played the combined role of Tracy Dunn/Jillian Gilchrist in the Off-Broadway production of "Octavia E. Butler's Parable of the Sower", Toshi Reagon's theatrical adaptation of the beloved novel. 

Centering the emotionality of the human experience, she creates an explosive sound that has been called “impossibly stunning” [Stereo Stickman], “primal and futuristic at the same time” [Current Magazine] and that “bends between operatic and punk rock” [Audiofemme]. Her former, long-term Detroit-based band project Saajtak, has been called “one of the most intriguing and unclassifiable bands in the country right now" [Tone Madison]. Saajtak has released five independently-released EPs and one LP via Chicago’s American Dreams record label.
