Holly Pyle  After earning degrees in music and psychology from Northern Arizona University in 2010, Holly Pyle embarked on a dual path as both a performer and a coach. Her vocal talent, described as a blend of "the smooth richness of Billie Holiday with the fluttering tones of Merrill Garbus" (Phoenix New Times), has led her to innovative work in vocal loop arranging and barrier-pushing songwriting. She regularly performs jazz across the West Coast and tours nationally with the folk rock group Live from Laurel Canyon.

Simultaneously, Holly applied her academic background to develop a unique coaching practice that integrates music and psychology. Her approach supports a wide range of students, whether they're focusing on vocal performance, songwriting, or broader life coaching. Through a combination of physical and mental exercises, she emphasizes the importance of mindset and mindfulness for achieving sustainable artistry and personal vitality. Since 2014, she has guided hundreds of people toward healthier relationships with their craft and themselves.
