"I have lived in Florida as long as I have been singing (as long as I can remember!). I started organized singing in 4th grade choir, and continued all the way through high school. I also was in an a cappella group in high school (shout-out to Hawkappella), and even did a little bit of musical theater in 6th grade. Outside of rehearsal you will probably find me playing literally any sport, eating way too much food at Broward Dining, or playing Mario Kart. I'm so excited to see what this group can accomplish this year!" -Alex

I have been around music my entire life, whether it was my mom and I belting our favorite songs on the radio driving home from school, or my dad showing me his extensive Beatles and Bowie album collection. Growing up, I did all the music things you could - orchestra, band, but I found my true love for music in choir and theatre. I am so proud to be a part of & lead a group with such talented individuals that support and help each other grow every day. If you ever need me, I can be found sipping on tea, watching Stranger Things, and listening to holiday music.

“I was singing as early as 3 years old and started playing the saxophone in middle school. Music and I are a package deal, and you’ll never get me to stop humming and singing in public! A cappella is such an important mode of expression for me, and I’m so grateful No Southern Accent is in my life.”

Whether I’m playing classical pieces on the piano or belting Disney songs at random moments, music is everywhere in my life. I started music lessons at age 5 and have been passionate about music ever since. Coming from a musical family, some of my earliest memories are singing duets with my brother and remixing our favorite songs. Now that I'm in college, NSA has become my 2nd family and I can't wait to make more memories together!

Favorite NSA Song | Roaring 20s

“I have always loved music. I grew up in musical family, so I’ve been singing and performing for as long as I can remember. Musical theater followed by chorus for seven years used to be how I experienced music. When I was making decisions about college, I knew I wanted to go beyond my comfort zone and look for a new musical outlet. I learned about No Southern Accent and decided to audition, which I now have learned was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I am so excited for this year and the years to come now that I am a part of this amazing family.” -Leah

Audition Song | “Atlanta Song” opb. The Duke’s Men

Campus Involvement | University Choir

I've been in music since I was 5 years old, starting with the piano (because of course) and then the violin in the 5th grade. But, as I have done with much of my life, I followed in the footsteps of my brother, who dropped instruments in high school in favor of vocal performance. And as such, I too joined the choir when I stepped into freshman year. Outside of music, I build PCs, make films, design graphics, perform paint-jobs, and study of course.

Audition Song | “Stone Cold” opb. Demi Lovato

Campus Involvement | University Choir

Music has always been an influential part of my life since before I could remember. Growing up in a religious and musical family, I picked up many different instruments as I grew up, but they never gave me the satisfaction that singing did. I've been surrounded by music my whole life whether that be in church, music lessons, or school ensembles. I had my first taste of competitive a cappella in my junior year of high school and it has changed my life ever since. I'm so glad to be able to continue one of my greatest passions here with No Southern Accent!

Audition Song | “This Love” opb. Maroon 5 & “Family Portrait” opb. P!nk

I have been singing for as long as I can remember, but I only began to take videos of myself singing in my junior year of high school. My senior year I joined my school’s a cappella group and it was easily the best year of my life. After that year, I knew I wanted to continue singing at UF. Other than singing, I love to draw in my sketchbook, do my makeup, and experiment with vegan recipes.

Audition Song | “Unlonely” opb. Jason Mraz

Campus Involvement | School of Music Recitals

The first time I sang was in my 4th grade chorus. We weren’t good, but it was fun! So I continued singing in musical theatre, operas, choir, and - eventually - a cappella. I also enjoy baking, playing the Sims, and wasting time in Library West pretending to do work with my friends. It’s only been a few short weeks and I can already see that laughing and singing with these beautiful and talented people is something really unique and special that I’ll cherish for years to come.

Campus Involvement | FL Actuarial Student Society

I've been singing for as long as I can remember - mostly just for fun, though. Growing up, I never did musical theater, learned to read music or how to play an instrument, so when my friend convinced me to audition for NSA I had NO IDEA what I was getting myself into. I had never done anything like it, and knew I was going to be completely out of my comfort zone, but I really wanted to learn about music and have an outlet to sing, as well as meet others who share the same passion. Even though its only been a few months, I already feel like I've learned so much from NSA, and it has become like a second family to me.

Audition Song | “Malibu Nights” opb. LANY

Thinking back, I cannot remember a time before music. I started playing piano when I was seven, and with that came everything else - from singing to other instruments and to bands. I got a lot of my inspiration from my brothers who are insanely talented in music. We would play together a lot which also helped me to find my place as a vocalist. However, I discovered a whole new dimension to music in the form of a cappella in the international school I went to before UF. After that finding NSA seemed just like a natural continuation with all the challenge and fun it offers.

Campus Involvement | University Choir

I started singing when I was in elementary school and continued to be in chorus all throughout high school. I have also been involved in choruses outside of school and am very involved in the Barbershop Harmony genre of a cappella :) Music has always been a huge part of who I am and where I found my home outside of home. As I moved on to my new stage of life, I auditioned for No Southern Accent in the hopes of finding my new ‘niche’ and I’m so glad I did!

Campus Involvement | Wrestling Club

I started singing ever since I was in the 4th grade when I was in the musical Cinderella. Throughout middle school I took part in an ensemble class, even going to some competitions. I have very little musical influence from either side of my family, so singing has been a place of uniqueness for me. I auditioned for NSA, because I figured it would be cool try out for an a cappella group. I have been more than satisfied and am so thankful for this family I've found.

I started beatboxing in order to provide a beat for rap battles during church, and I never expected to be able to use my talent for such a fun and amazing experience as NSA. I am so happy my friends shoved me into the NSA sign up booth during the first month of school.

P.S. I can't believe I joined a music group before my sister
