Jamey J Guzman is a composer, librettist, and artist-activist. In her music, Jamey often explores identity and interpersonal connection, philosophy and humanity, and the unashamed pursuit of wonder. A firm believer in the unmatched power of art to enact social change, she is dedicated to using her music to illuminate themes such as female empowerment, racial equity, climate action, gender and sexuality, and mental health awareness. Jamey is deeply passionate about contemporary opera and vocal music, striving to use the unique power of the human voice to tell necessary stories of underrepresented peoples with excitingly experimental and innovative techniques. 
 
Recently, Jamey’s work has been featured by Nightingale Opera Theatre’s Young Artist Program, the N.E.O. Voice Festival in Los Angeles, and Really Spicy Opera at Fondation des États-Unis in Paris. Recent major commissions have come from Really Spicy Opera for chamber operas Green Thumbed and Open Heart Surgery, which will tour Paris and Madagascar in Summer 2023; New Voices Opera for their 2022 mainstage; Strange Trace Opera for the 2022 Stencils Festival, ENAEnsemble for a new monodrama, Paradox Opera for an aria for Autonomy, a benefit concert for Planned Parenthood, and SONIT for a flute piece celebrating Salvadorian folklore.
