Senya

Senya is a guitarist, bandleader, and composer based in Chicago and New

York mainly working in the jazz world. Currently studying at the Manhattan

School of Music, Senya has worked under the tutelage of some of the most

important jazz musicians in the world such as Mike Moreno, Mark Whitfield,

Bobby Broom, Rodney Whitaker and Pasquale Grasso, as well as having shared

the stage and studio as a sideman with names like Marquis Hill, Samara Joy, and

Donald Harrison Jr.

As a bandleader, he has been working headlining venues around Chicago for

half a decade, and is in the process of recording his debut album. His group goes

between quintet and sextet, and attempts to push the boundaries of jazz as an

artform through blending influences from punk, soul, and classical musics.
