Meet Alanya

An award winning musical theatre composer & lyricist. I love to tell stories through my music. I feel so blessed to have worked all over the world.

Music is the shorthand of emotion. My work has been performed around the world, including the Lincoln Center, Playwrights Downtown and Feinstein’s 54 Below,

I am grateful to have worked with world class composers, performers, creatives and students to create music and tell stories together.
