Licity Collins is fearless.
Described on NPR as “Courageous. Writing and singing full-frontal,” Licity’s music has been praised for its emotional depth and transformative power. A multidimensional, genre-busting music maker with a passion for emotional intimacy and possibility, she sees people’s minds and hearts as her primary artistic medium, inviting audiences to grow courage and embrace vulnerability so that our individual lives become more honest and brave— increasing our capacity for love and collective peace.
Licity creates Classical Chamber Music, Funky-folky Songs, and Jazzy Instrumentals, as well as Flow State Meditation Music. Licity’s visionary approach to music is deeply collaborative, boundary-pushing, and inventive. She combines sounds from classical, early music, folk, and rock in her genre-fluid SynchroLicity Collective.
Licity recently received a $74,000 “Creative Heights” grant from Oregon Community Foundation for her debut opera,One Death in Seven Doorways, a genre-pushing spoken-sung, collaboratively-composed exploration of death and grief.
Recent awards also include: 2026 Sozo Fellowship, 2024 Artist Facilitator Residency from the IFCC/Portland Parks, 2025 Friends of IFCC grant, 2025 RACC grant, 2024 commission for the music for the North Pole Studio Gala. Licity served on the BRAVO Committee of the Ojai New Classical Music Festival from 2020-22. From 2024-26 she served as the inaugural Music Fellow at the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology.
“My work always tells an emotional story.
I illustrate our journeys of inner evolution, mapping transformations from one way of being to another. Each work carries us through who we become temporarily as we hunger and strive to create a necessary new reality.” —Licity
“There are artists who make music. And there are artists who create worlds.
Licity Collins belongs to this second breed.
What Collins does isn't just art. It's emotional alchemy.” —CR Indie
