About June Cavlan
June 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.
Growing up surrounded by music, June enjoyed a wide variety of performance experiences ranging from classical voice, classical piano and french horn to jazz vocal ensembles, musical theater and more, but it was in high school that she fell in love with the sounds of jazz singers like Ella Fitzgerald and Betty Carter and chose to dedicate herself to this artistic pursuit.
Upon graduation from high school in 2019, she found that her efforts had earned her a full scholarship to attend the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music to pursue a degree in Jazz vocal performance under the direction of Dr. Kate Reid. It was here that her artistry grew immensely, working under Reid and highly respected educators like Dafnis Prieto and Dr. John Daversa, as well as Grammy-winning artist Luciana Souza and Grammy nominee Cyrille Aimee.
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.
Currently, June is living in New York City often working as a bandleader but also as a member of her vocal trio, The Sunhouse Singers, with Kate Kortum and Joie Bianco. They have been featured on multiple shows by performers like Bryan Carter, Emmet Cohen, Benny Benack, and Richard Cortez.
Whether she is singing with her trio or leading a band, June loves arranging her favorite music in new ways and telling stories through songs. With her debut album expected to be released by Spring 2024, the future appears to be very bright indeed for this rising young star on the scene.
