JQ RILEY OCAMPO WELCH (she/her) loves long walks on the beach, candlelit dinners, and playing the ever-lovin’ blue-eyed heck out of a piano. From Off-Off-Broadway to NYC’s myriad cabaret venues, JQ has a ear for groove and a love for music that just can’t be beat.

In addition to key-noodling, JQ is an advocate for accessibility in theater, bringing open captioning and ASL interpreters into spaces where Deaf and Hard of Hearing audiences are usually forgotten.

When she’s not tickling the ivories, JQ can be found at your local comic book store, arguing with passersby about Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.
