Resonance A Cappella

Founded in 2012, Resonance began as a quintet that quickly grew in both size and sound, becoming one of the premier a cappella ensembles at UCLA. Over the past couple years, Resonance has established itself as a vibrant a cappella group with a unique sound and a high level of musical excellence.

In 2014 and 2016, the group qualified and performed for an audience of 10,000 at UCLA's Spring Sing, the university's largest, highly competitive musical showcase. In 2015, 2017, and 2018, Resonance competed in the Los Angeles A Cappella Festival (LAAF). In 2017, the group competed for the very first time at the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella (ICCA), placing 2nd at the Southwest Quarterfinal, 3rd at the Southwest Semifinal, and winning awards for Outstanding Arrangement at both competitions. In 2017, Resonance also recorded their first studio album, "In This Light", which is available now on iTunes and Spotify. Since then, singles "Bad Romance", "September", and "Praying Fools" have been released. In 2018 and 2020, Resonance competed in the ICCA once more, winning Outstanding Arrangement and placing 1st in the West Quarterfinals both years. In the year 2021, Resonance competed in the first virtual ICCA competition, placing 1st at both the West Quarterfinal and Semifinal, advancing them to finals. Guided by their passion for performing and friendship, Resonance hopes to share their music with their community and make a lasting impact. As such, Resonance can be found performing at a number of philanthropy events and concerts across California, the greater Los Angeles area, and on the UCLA campus during a typical year.
