head/voice: from singers to sound creators

Remember in high school singing 'Chili Con Carne' and you thought it you were nailing it but then you remember it actually sounded awful?  ...just Evan?  Well Resolve is the opposite of ~that~, as they are wonderfully talented yet humble and pure souls making inhumanly tight and very humanly meaningful music, and we were so happy to talk to Chris and Alyssa for another episode of head/voice!

head/voice: from singers to sound creators

It’s been a minute, but we can’t think of a better way to be back than with the supremely talented Amnya Love.  Though she’s extremely lowkey and humble, her voice is absolutely insane, and we talked about her journey and dived deep into her ‘viral’ instagram a cappella videos!

Kaedi is an absolute superstar, and we were super fortunate to talk to her about the highs and lows of her journey on the way to becoming the ridiculously low vocal bass she is today in Citizen Queen.  Learn about the meaning behind "philo," her experience at A Cappella Academy, and why she likes music so darn much.

More Episodes

This past weekend, we had the distinct pleasure of leading a panel at #BOSS2018 featuring four amazing guests: Sidney Gish (indie singer-songwriter), Noel Pancho (rapper/storyteller), Niya Norwood (Real Entertainment Industries, BGVs for YEBBA), Alyssa Spector (booker/promoter). We were able to get their unique ‘outside’ perspectives on a cappella and how it fits into the greater music industry - there’s tons to take away for your band or group, we hope you learn a lot!
