Shout

Uhl's earliest musical memory is telling: “I was in the back of my Mom's car on the way to school when 'Pavement Cracks' by Annie Lennox came on, and it felt like the song made time slow down. I was so focused on the sounds –– their textures and the way they made me feel. It was my first realization that musical choices are intentional and possess the power to transport a listener to unknown places.”

That visceral connection to music led Uhl to begin studying music formally at the age of 12 when she developed a deep affinity for opera and classical music and a youthful drive to live life as a professional opera singer. Her four years of conservatory training concluded just as the world was going into lockdown.

Like many musicians, during 2020 Uhl found time away from the rigors of her routines which, in her case, meant a break from the classical music world. She utilized this moment to pursue writing her own music and in doing so she found her voice. But what that voice contains, it would seem, is a variety of voices. Uhl is singular, but Channels is plural.
