Not only is Niya Dorothy Hartley (shown playing guitar) a proud ECS alum (Class of 2025), but she is also an up-and-coming musical artist who has been gigging around Northern Virginia for the past two years. When she’s not studying as a first-year student at Liberty University, you can probably catch her at local venues dazzling audiences with a wide selection of country and acoustic favorites. As a featured member of Evergreen’s Honors Concert Choir program, we always knew she could sing. But boy howdy, can she play guitar! Her most recent performance came at our Boots & Blessings auction where she was joined by Delany R. (Class of 2027) to provide music during dinner. You can check out her artist page on Instagram to hear her perform and find out where she is playing next (@Hartley_Niya).
