TJune Cavlan is an award-winning vocalist, arranger, and teacher from Santa Cruz, California who is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Jazz vocal performance at the Manhattan School of Music. After four years of living in Miami, Florida, and working towards her degree at The Frost School of Music, Cavlan is now a full-time performer, student, and teacher in Manhattan.
Not long after starting at Frost, June began to accrue awards of her own: in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 she won prestigious Downbeat magazine awards for her group singing and was a 2019 Youngarts winner as a solo vocalist. In 2022, Cavlan was honored to receive the Downbeat Magazine Award for Best Undergraduate Jazz Vocalist.
In 2023, her success at the University of Miami was rewarded with a generous scholarship offer from the Manhattan School of Music in New York, where she will be studying under Jean Baylor.
In the meantime, she continues to build an enthusiastic following across The States. June has performed at renowned venues across the country as a soloist and group member including The Birdland Jazz Club, Carnegie Hall, and The Kuumbwa Jazz Center. Whether she is singing with her quartet or playing duo with a guitarist, June loves arranging her favorite music in new ways and telling stories through songs. With her debut album expected to be released by early 2024, the future appears to be very bright indeed for this rising young star on the scene.
