WENDY LOOMIS is an award-winning San Francisco-based composer, pianist, producer, and educator.  She has released 20 CDs to date and performs nationally and internationally with various ensembles in the genres of poetic jazz, new age, and world music.   

One of Wendy's most recent composition is called What if We? - a piece about sea level rise written in collaboration with ClimateMusic Project. The work features poetry by Royal Kent and was premiered by band COPUS at the World Bank and Forest Trends in Washington, DC.   

Ms. Loomis merited the ASCAP Award for Composition four times. She has earned nominations from the Hollywood Music and Media Awards and the Unisong International Song Competition; and wins from Clouzine International Music Awards, Los Angeles Music Awards, W.A.M.

Some of the notable venues where Wendy has performed include The Bitter End and Feinstein's 54 Below in Manhattan; the San Francisco Jazz Center, Kimball's East, and Mazza Castle in the Bay Area; and the Cutting Edge Festival in New Orleans.

Wendy's music has been included in three independent films. She is currently working on music for a full-length documentary on mixed martial arts.  The film will include a feature song where both the music and words were created by Wendy since she has newly expanded her writing skills into lyrics as well as music. 

Other highlights in Wendy's career include a performance of one of her piano works in Havana, Cuba as part of the American Composers Salon; a pre-concert talk and performance of one of her chamber music compositions at Capital University in Columbus, Ohio; and numerous commissioned works performed by the Flock of Flutes ensemble in Northern California. 

Together with poet/spoken word artist Royal Kent, Wendy is the co-founder of COPUS Multimedia - an independent music label and production company that has presented original works throughout the U.S. 

The next album - The Assignment - is scheduled for June 14 release. It is a tribute album featuring the poetics of Royal Kent as read by six Bay Area poets and intertwined with Wendy’s piano compositions.
