She has performed and recorded with Herbie Hancock, Paul Simon, James Taylor, Danilo P rez, John Patitucci, and many others. She has also been a prominent soloist in important new works by composers Osvaldo Golijov, Derek Bermel, Patrick Zimmerli, Rachel Grimes, Ang lica Negr n, Shara Nova, Caroline Shaw, and Sarah Kirkland Snider, performing with the New York Philharmonic, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, and the American Composers Orchestra.

Souza has been releasing celebrated recordings-including six Grammy-nominated albums-since 2002. Her critically acclaimed new album for the Sunnyside label, The Book of Longing, presents her settings of poems by Emily Dickinson, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Christina Rossetti, and Leonard Cohen. Poetry has always been the marrow of the gifted singer Luciana Souza's art, said The New Yorker.
Souza began her recording career at age 3 with a radio commercial. She earned her Bachelor of Music degree in jazz composition from Berklee College of Music, a master's degree in jazz studies from the New England Conservatory of Music, and served as a faculty member at Berklee and Manhattan School of Music. She has twice been named Female Jazz Singer of the Year by the Jazz Journalists Association.
