In college, I directed Voices in Your Head, an undergraduate-led vocal group at the University of Chicago. During my two years directing, Voices made consecutive appearances at the Finals of the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella (ICCA), placing 2nd in 2017 and 3rd in 2018, when the group performed a set of my compositions --Ā the first set of entirely original music ever presented at Finals:
I also arranged andĀ co-produced the group's sixth studio album, Begin Again, which won Best Pop Album and Best Mixed Collegiate Album at the 2020 Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards (CARAs). The album received an unanimous 5/5 reviewĀ from the Recorded A Cappella Review Board, who called the album "the cutting edge of a cappella," and an album thatĀ "borders on being a masterpiece." The album was included in RARB's Picks of the Decade for the 2010's.Ā
The material I wrote for Voices has spawned a number of covers and spin-offs, including an acoustic cover I did of 'How Long' from Voices' original 2018 ICCA Set (video by Eric Volpert):Ā
