Quiana Russau

Growing up in Kalamazoo, MI, Quiana was most inspired by her mother singing to her as a child and filling their home with the sounds of classic R&B and Jazz. Taking notice of her passion for singing, her mother enrolled young, shy Quiana in church, school and community choirs. Here is where she would begin to grow out of her shell.

Quiana started pursing music professionally while attending North Carolina Central University in Durham, NC for Jazz Studies and Music Education. There, she connected with Grammy Award Winning producer 9th Wonder and recorded her first EP entitled “Simply Qui” with his team of producers, Khrysis and E. Jones. As somewhat of a rookie in the game, Quiana felt honored and privileged to be featured on the hip-hop duo, Little Brother’s final album, “Left Back”. Her writing and vocals were showcased on the hook for the catchy track “What We Are”

 Coming off tour as a background vocalist for Grammy Nominated artist B.o.B, Quiana now sings with various party bands while working on her own project and teaching.

I like to build my lessons around each individual student, no two lessons are the same! We will always focus on vocal health, strength and control. Do you want to write your own songs, do you want to have more confidence on stage or are you new to singing and just want to be able to sing your favorite song? We can work on all of those things!
