Louisiana native Wendy Colonna believes that music is a mirror, reflecting our souls and guiding us toward our truest selves. Raised in Lake Charles and immersed in Cajun culture, Wendy’s musical journey began with family singalongs and church choirs. In 2000, she moved to Austin, where her “smokey” alto voice gained acclaim, leading to nine albums, including her latest, Paradigms, celebrating collaboration and personal transformation. Her work has received national praise, with mentions in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and more.
Beyond performance, Wendy brings music to life through Lyriculture™ Custom Songs, creating anthems for brands and individuals. She also developed Mojo Tracks, a neuroscience-based blend of affirmations and sound healing that keeps clients connected to their purpose. As a mentor, Wendy guides creatives in the arts and healing arts to navigate their careers authentically. 
Through her diverse work, Wendy mirrors joy, resilience, and soul, helping others access their creative spark.

Wendy’s resonant, signature voice is grit-infused-honey and her songs echo swampy southern tales of loss, mortality, joy, reclaimed innocence and celebration. With ease, she moves from a sweet whisper to a full on bayou-soul-shout without skipping a beat.
The Austin-American Statesman wrote “Wendy Colonna is not just a singer-songwriter, she’s a force of nature.”  Hailing from the gulf coast of Louisiana and calling Austin, TX home since 2000, Colonna is a regular southern renaissance woman: a seasoned troubadour, yogi, bookworm, adventurer, pollination ecology-enthusiast and hula-hooper.  But it’s her songwriting and voice that draw in audiences in like bees to nectar.

Glammed out alternative rock with a healthy dose of Rocky Horror dramatics and devil-horned power chords!
