Alana Eda Johnson

Alana Eda Johnson is a 23-year-old New Yorker of Turkish-American heritage, with a deep-rooted passion for the arts. A classically trained opera singer, she is also well-versed in pop, soft rock, jazz, and blues, and writes and composes her own original music. In addition to her musical talents, Alana has trained in various styles of dance from a young age. While music and movement have always been a part of her life, her love for writing emerged early on—but it was an elementary school poetry assignment, inspired by her then-favorite fruit (the apple), that sparked a lasting passion for poetic expression.
