Why You Joined WPCS

Back in the day when you could look at anyone’s facebook profile, Mark Tomasino saw that I was a tenor who happened to love choral music and sent me a non-creepy message asking if I’d like to audition.  After singing in some great undergrad choirs, I jumped at the chance without knowing very much about WPCS or ever having heard them.  Best decision ever.

When and How You Became Involved in Music

I can be pretty shy, so it took me a while to get the nerve to sing in front of people.  I think I finally caught the performing bug in high school when my teacher wouldn’t allow me to sing quietly because I was a tenor.

What is Your Favorite Song to Sing in the Shower

I’m on a huge Laura Marling kick right now, so I’d have to say Goodbye England (Covered in Snow) or anything off of her latest album.
