ABOUT

Born and raised in Detroit, Vahn Black grew up in a melting pot of music. This aided in Black cultivating her soul-charged, jazz infused sound, marrying her reverence for vocalists like Sarah Vaughn with her love of producers like J Dilla.

As a composer Black has lent her artistry to various art mediums from short films to interactive performance art. In 2023 Black was selected to perform at NPR's Tiny Desk on the Road Tour stop in Atlanta. She has also performed as an opening act for MAJOR., Anthony Hamilton, Chrisette Michelle, Elle Varner, and soul legends Frankie Beverly and Maze.

Black’s latest work, Petrichor: The Joy of Gladys Bentley, is the first of a three part series that centers the story of Blues singer Gladys Bentley as told in the 1952 article I Am a Woman Again.
