Orianna Gutierrez was born in Miami, Florida to Venezuelan parents and has always found a sense of home through music, movement, and the arts. She earned her Master’s degree in Music with a specialization in classical vocal performance from Florida International University in 2020. Since then, Orianna has performed on numerous stages while also working full-time with Mind&Melody, where she serves as Program Director.
Her connection to music is deeply personal. Growing up with a brother on the autism spectrum, Orianna experienced firsthand how music could bridge communication barriers and create meaningful connection beyond words. This early experience is what ultimately led her to Mind&Melody and continues to inform her work and passion for using music as a tool for inclusion, expression, and care.
In addition to her musical career, Orianna is a Registered Yoga Teacher, an avid yogi, and a runner. She brings a holistic, movement-based approach to her work, integrating mindfulness, physical awareness, and creativity to support people of all ages and abilities.
