Courtney Bailey is a multifaceted artist, instrumentalist, soprano, and composer/producer from Streator, IL. A proud alum of both Streator High School and the Poco a Poco Summer Music Fest, Courtney immersed herself in every music class and ensemble available during her high school years.

She recently earned her Associate of Arts degree from Illinois Valley Community College and will be transferring to Knox College in Galesburg, IL, this fall. While she originally pursued a Music major, she is now majoring in Art with minors in Music Composition and Gender Studies, reflecting her wide-ranging passions.

In addition to her work in the arts, Courtney enjoys tabletop RPGs, Star Trek, video games, crocheting, learning new languages, and spending time with her three beloved cats.

Courtney is thrilled to return to Poco a Poco as this year’s Administrative Assistant Intern and looks forward to supporting a program that helped shape her artistic journey.
