n the middle of Alex Banin’s first year at Northwestern, she became extremely sick and could not sing for an entire year. After getting her tonsils removed, she was able
SSounds ounds
to sing again and realized how much she missed it. From that moment on, Banin dove into her music career, and she hasn’t looked back. Over the course of two years,
she has released music on Spotify, opened for Chicago native Mick Jenkins at this winter’s A&O Benefit concert and featured on rapper KOTA The Friend’s latest album. Now a se-
nior in SESP, Banin is dedicated to her music in a way she didn’t think was previously possible. Growing up, Banin enjoyed singing and songwriting, but never thought she was good at it.
