EntreMusician &amp; Associate Professor of Voice at Berklee School of  Music, Professor Linda Balliro interviews Zakiyyah Sutton, currently  Season Partner for the 2022-2023  Boston Children's Chorus 20th  Anniversary Season. Zakiyyah is an artist-activist who utilizes music and visual media to  explore themes that centralize marginalized communities via her  production company, Black and Bold Productions. As an actress and  classically-trained singer who is well-versed in Opera, Hip-Hop, Jazz,  and R&amp;B, she employs her extremely versatile skill-set to reach a  broad range of audiences and craft a sound that is uniquely her  own--including her most well-known, "Hip-Hopera". She’s had the pleasure  of bringing these sounds to numerous audiences from the House of Blues  to more recently, the United Nations. After graduating from Wellesley  College with a degree in Political Science and Sociology, she worked in  politics for City Councilor Tito Jackson and later Suffolk County  Sheriff Steven Tompkins. During her time there she created D.A.S.H.  (Defensive Aids in Situations of Help); a women’s self-defense program  that travels throughout Boston and neighboring cities. She also serves  as a trustee for the Free for All Concert Fund, an organization charged  with providing the necessary funding to make classical music accessible  to the masses. She shares this honor with former Massachusetts Governor  Mike Dukakis, Senator Sonia Chang-Diaz, and other dignitaries. After departing from politics, Zakiyyah still remained civically  engaged, serving as an elected delegate at the 2016 Democratic National  Convention. She then spent a year pursuing her artistic and scholastic  ambitions in the Czech Republic, Thailand, South Africa, and Colombia,  hosting Black Lives Matter events in the latter two countries and even  recording with Grammy-nominated group Explosión Negra. She also has a  commitment to education, having worked as an administrator at  Conservatory Lab Charter School, offering private voice training via  Harvard’s Holden Voice Program and the Hamilton Garrett Music and Arts  Academy, and even creating an arts-activism program for teens in 2020  entitled “Creative Revolution”. In addition to her artistic practice,  Zakiyyah currently works as a racial equity consultant with Arts Connect  International, helping arts organizations reassess their practices  through the lens of equity and creative justice. These experiences,  coupled with her artistic versatility, make her uniquely qualified to  use her art as a catalyst for social change. Her upcoming album, African  Import, provides a window into both the beauty and complexity of the  black diaspora, and the significance of its consumption by mainstream  society.
