Holly Sedillos is one of the most versatile sopranos in Los Angeles. She is equally comfortable in the studio or on stage, singing various classical styles, musical theater, world music, children and monster voices, or whatever else is thrown her way. Classical highlights include being a soloist in John Adams’s
Grand Pianola Music with the LA Phil, playing Consuelo in Adams’s
I Was Looking at the Ceiling and then I Saw the Sky with Long Beach Opera, and Handel’s
Messiah solos with the Los Angeles Master Chorale. Other stage highlights include soloing in Carnegie Hall with
Christopher Tin in a concert of his album
Calling All Dawns, playing Jasmine in
Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular! at Disney’s CA Adventure, various featured roles in
The Little Mermaid and
Beauty and the Beast at the Hollywood Bowl, the
Hans Zimmer tour, the title role in Cindy Shapiro’s
Anaïs: A Dance Opera at theater festivals in Avignon, France, and Casablanca, Morocco, and touring Californian and Australian prisons with composer Eric Genuis.
Holly has sung on roughly 50 films, TV programs and video games. Solo highlights include the
Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate score by
Austin Wintory,
The Darkest Minds score by Benjamin Wallfisch, two upcoming Mychael and
Jeff Danna scores for
The Addams Family and Pixar’s
Onward, and this fall’s
Lucy in the Sky, scored by
Jeff Russo. Holly’s choral highlight is the once-in-a-lifetime chance to sing for
John Williams on
Star Wars VIII: The Last Jedi.
You can hear Holly solo with the Los Angeles Master Chorale in January in
Jeff Beal’s new score to
Sunrise, or in Krakow, Poland with John Powell in May, if that’s easier. Holly grew up in Santa Monica, playing French horn, singing, and acting in as many SAMOHI ensembles and shows as possible. She holds a BA in music from Dartmouth College.
