ARTIST BIO

Holland Andrews (AKA Like a Villain) is an American composer, performance artist, and visual artist whose work is based on emotionality in its many forms. In their composition work, Andrews focuses on the abstraction of operatic and extended-technique voice to build soundscapes encompassing both catharsis and dissonance. Frequently highlighting themes surrounding vulnerability and healing, Andrews arranges music with voice and clarinet, harnessing the innate qualities of the instruments’ power and elegance. As a musician, their dynamic influences include contemporary opera, musical theater, as well as ambient and noise music. In addition to creating solo work, Andrews develops and performs the soundscapes for dance, theater, and film artists, and their work is toured nationally and internationally.
