About Tai Woodville
artworks
Tai Woodville’s work lives where poetry, music, and mysticism converge. A Pushcart Prize–nominated poet ("POLLEN," Finishing Line Press) with a bachelor of arts in literature, Tai's writing appears in Atticus Review, Visitant, and more. As Flight Call, she crafts luminous avant-pop journeys like her album HOMEWORLD, praised by Vortex Music Magazine as “a light-filled voyage from inner space to outer space.”
origins
“Woodville is literally a starseed hailing from a family of artists and performers… Born to actors Edward Albert (Butterflies Are Free) and Kate Woodville (Star Trek), and granddaughter of Eddie Albert (Roman Holiday) and Margo (Lost Horizon), her family’s history is as stellar as her own Flight Call persona.”
—Andrea Janda, Vortex Music Magazine
"These are poems cherishing impermanent beauty; delicate, seductive, they braid hope and youthful sex with heartfelt mourning, Thanatos and Eros brilliantly intertwined."

Samantha Dunn, author (on "Pollen")
The poems in POLLEN are thoughtful, meditative, and exciting. Woodville knows how to employ a lyric moment and how to tell a story, even when the story is a difficult one."
Mathew Dickman, poet (on "Pollen")
HOMEWORLD is a personal compilation of magic spells and secret codes, an exploded starfield of glimmering images that are helpful, healing, disarming, diaphanous, prismatic, piercing, and lyrical [...] taking the listener on a light-filled, avant-pop journey from inner space to outer space. "
- Andrea Janda, Vortex Music Magazine (on Flight Call)
Flight Call’s debut avant-pop album (the conceptual project of writer and musician Tai Woodville) came at just the right time. It’s a gorgeous, shimmery, uplifting ray of hope, and one I return to now whenever I’m feeling low [...] "

A Conversation w/Topanga New Times
“Imagine a place of perfect peace and tranquility, full of light and crystalline beauty. That is the vision singer-songwriter and performance artist Tai Woodville has conjured for Homeworld, a concept album that is part space rock, part new age electronica, and part performance art piece. Tai describes it as ‘meditative art-pop,’ but that is only part of this multilayered project..."
