Keyna Wilkins

Keyna Wilkins is a pioneering Australian/British composer-musician. She was a finalist for the Australian Art Music Awards for Individual Excellence in 2021 and 2018 (APRA/AMCOS). She explores stream-of-consciousness improvisations alongside her composed pieces.

Described as a “powerhouse player” by Jazz Journal UK and “magical and hypnotic” by Downtown Music New York, she has performed her solo show around the world. She released 10 albums of original music and her works are published by Wirripang. While classically trained in Bristol and Bath Spa Universities UK, Hildesheim University Germany and Sydney Conservatorium, she also studied improvisation with Tibetan Buddhist musician Tenzin Cheogyal.
