Personal Statement: Honey Novick is a singer/songwriter/voice teacher/poet who directs the Creative Vocalization Studio and the UNESCO-endorsed "New Songs for Peace" project. She sings in Yiddish, Hebrew, Japanese, Spanish, Mandarin, and French.

For "New Songs for Peace" (www.newsongsforpeace.org), Honey travels far and wide to talk about peace, encouraging people to define what it means for them and then write a new song that would be considered for collection on the website and for a book.

Honey writes poems that can be sung and songs that are spoken. She has performed in places as diverse as the Carnegie Recital Hall, prisons, religious institutions, First Nations reserves, and schools. She has been described as "one of Canada's premier avant-garde vocalists...her head is into bebop and her voice is into Stockhausen."
