Biography
LaTasha Bundy (b. 1992) is a native New Orleanian composer and electronic music performer. Within her work there are influences of fugue, soundscape, and music traditionally located in Louisiana (zydeco, second line, and bounce), but her music is also inspired by different aspects of pop-culture (anime, comics, video games, etc.).
She mostly works with electronics but performed as a trumpet player for years. She has studied with musicians and composers such as Clyde Kerr Jr., Sir Edward Kidd Jordan and the Jordan Family, Roger Dickerson, Dr. Courtney Bryan, Chief Xian aTunde Adjuah, Dr. Yotam Haber, Patrice Rushen, Nicholas Payton, and Jesse McBride.
Bundy has been commissioned by multiple organizations throughout the US from Harvard University’s Fromm Foundation (2023) to Piano Spheres in Los Angeles (2021). She has had compositions performed at Lincoln Center in New York (2021) and most recently San Francisco Symphony’s SoundBox (2025). She has also had works performed by the Louisiana Philharmonic’s Chamber Orchestra (2021) and an arrangement with Dr. Michael White for Jazz at Lincoln Center (2025).
LaTasha is the recipient of the Mellon Fellowship (Andrew Mellon Foundation at Tulane University in 2019), Monroe Fellowship (Center of the Gulf South in 2020), and the Take Notice Fund Grant (Ford Foundation in 2023).
