Her rhombus-shaped golden earrings do too. Framing her face are turtle glasses with red temples that match her lips.

But she also believes in self-compassion and understanding, which will play a prominent role in her upcoming fourth album.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lyrics are ready, and she is hoping to release the record on Spotify and other streaming platforms by the end of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_103183\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-103183\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-103183 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/06\/portrait7-32-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Allgood performs Nancy Wilson\u2019s \u201cOn The Street Where You Lived.\u201d (Photo Courtesy of Antonia Mufarech)\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/06\/portrait7-32-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/06\/portrait7-32-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/06\/portrait7-32-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/wp-media-folder-medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/06\/portrait7-32.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-103183\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Alyssa Allgood performs Nancy Wilson\u2019s \u201cOn The Street Where You Lived.\u201d (Antonia Mufarech\/MEDILL)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSometimes in jazz music, there&#8217;s this tradition of singers just singing standards, of redoing a lot of songs that other people have done, and that can be fun,\u201d said <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jon Deitemyer, Allgood\u2019s friend and band drummer. \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But I appreciate that Alyssa is writing music, that she&#8217;s challenging herself to actually take some risks. I think that&#8217;s actually more rare than people realize.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other than singing (with her piano or a quartet) at Chicago staples such as Green Mill Jazz Club and Winter\u2019s Jazz Club, Allgood is pursuing her master\u2019s degree in jazz studies at DePaul University, where she is also a graduate assistant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She teaches private voice lessons through her Allgood Jazz Studio and presents master classes at different institutions including the University of Chicago, Drake University and the Valley Vocal Jazz Summit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allgood has released three albums (both self-published and through Cellar Music), which are available on all streaming platforms.

(Antonia Mufarech\/MEDILL)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allgood\u2019s passion for jazz grew stronger as her legs grew taller. While being raised in Westmont, Illinois, she was involved in her elementary school\u2019s music program. When she was in sixth grade, Allgood started singing with the jazz band.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI did everything: I sang with the jazz band through high school, went to a jazz camp every summer since I was 12 and even did musicals, which is hard to believe because it&#8217;s very different to what I do now,\u201d Allgood said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an undergraduate student at North Central College in Naperville, Allgood studied music and sang with several ensembles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throughout this process, Allgood said she always received support \u2013 and tunes \u2013 from her family and teachers. Other than having parents (and an older brother) who would listen to jazz and blues, Allgood\u2019s mother, a former music therapist, worked at a school for children with autism, teaching them how to process, feel and learn through songs. Although Allgood\u2019s father doesn\u2019t play an instrument, lyrics filled every space of the house. Music was all Allgood heard \u2013 and saw \u2013 growing up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBack when I was younger and I started singing with the jazz band, from a shallower perspective as a kid, that was a chance I got to sing as a soloist,\u201d she said. \u201cThere was something that seemed like a little bit more to it than pop music. I liked the messages I was singing, and I really liked getting to sing with a live band, as I think that in some other genres you could just sing with backing tracks.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allgood tries to give her students at Allgood Jazz Studio the sense of support and community she received growing up because a career in music isn\u2019t the easiest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAs a singer, our instrument is who we are. It\u2019s in our body,\u201d Allgood said. \u201cThere\u2019s really a level of vulnerability and risk-taking that you must have. So, I think that\u2019s a really beautiful and daring thing that singers do \u2013 and my main goal is to help people feel confident that they can use music to express themselves.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But other than teaching vulnerability, Allgood embraces it herself, as creating original music involves constant exposure to the public (and therefore room for criticism). To Allgood, sharing herself is beautiful \u2013 but totally scary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAs jazz singers, we don&#8217;t only have to sing pretty songs about love or heartbreak \u2013 those songs are so beautiful, and I still feel love and heartbreak, of course,\u201d she said. \u201cBut I think that we can say so much more. And that&#8217;s what I\u2019m figuring out: What is it that I want to say? And I think that self-love is something I certainly need a reminder of all the time, and I know that other people do so too. So now, I\u2019m writing those things out \u2013 and feeling sort of brave enough to share.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year, as she works through her fourth album and aims to seal a deal with a record company, Allgood said she must constantly remind herself to prioritize her own well-being, which she hopes to transmit through her music.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For now, she will continue teaching, studying, performing original songs and honoring some of her favorite singers, such as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nancy Wilson, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">like she did on a snowy night at <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Winter\u2019s Jazz Club.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPeople stop and stare, they don&#8217;t bother me<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For there&#8217;s nowhere else on earth that I would rather be \u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Antonia Mufarech is a Magazine graduate student at Medill.
