Musician

Contralto and flutist MIKAYLA ODUT leads a varied life as a student with the aspiration of artistic administration and stage management at the forefront of her future goals. She is currently completing a degree from uOttawa in classical voice where she has studied with Christiane Riel and Allyson McHardy. Additionally, she is currently completing a certificate from Algonquin College in esthetics, focusing in dramatic stage and special effects makeup. She is sought after for small-scale stage and event management, where she directs personnel with poise, flexibility, and accuracy. Holding an ARCT from the Royal Conservatory of Music in flute performance, she is thrilled to find the wide variety of both orchestral and voice music in the Ottawa region. Odut has a particular passion for baroque music, and believes the genre is accessible and inclusive for her and other young singers to take part in. Future ideas for studies include programs for arts administration or nonprofit management. A devoted equity advocate, she promotes accessibility, awareness and acceptance in the forefront of everything she does.
