Mezzo A Cappella | New York City

hi there!

Mezzo is a New York City–based all-female a cappella group. We've recently released our first E.P., called Woman Like Me! Listen to us on Spotify, Youtube, or Apple Music, and share with friends!

Mezzo was founded in 2014 by Lachi, a New York-based musician and advocate. Since then, we've sung at various venues such as Rockwood Music Hall, the Bitter End, the Bell House, the Marriott Marquis, the Shrine, Pianos, and Sessions 73, and have also been part of events such as Thanksgiving parties, Halloween celebrations, weddings, and corporate affairs. We're also part of the Contemporary A Cappella League and the MTA's Music Under New York program, and are the official music partner of the Women's Education Project.

Most importantly, we're a diverse, close-knit group of women who enjoy each other's company, finding our way through life in this city together!

REYNETTA SAMPSON

Alto 2 / VP

Reynetta was first introduced to the world of a cappella in high school, where she began a love affair with the genre which has continued to the present day. Since then, she has been a member of various groups and has performed in all sorts of places, from the NYC subway to an upstate NY wedding. She is very excited to be a part of Mezzo. She loves music, has extremely eclectic musical taste, and couldn’t possibly exist without her headphones, especially when she’s working long hours as a Project Analyst. A few of Reynetta’s other passions include a love of the Spanish language (she has a Master’s degree in Spanish Language and Literature), and a love of cheering on her favorite football team, Real Madrid. Ya tenemos la Undécima!!!

JENN RODRIGUEZ

Alto 1 / Soprano 2 / VP / Business Manager

Jenn first began her a cappella journey in college with the NYU Cleftomaniacs, and has sung around the world with various groups and in various voice parts (though she will always be a lady bass at heart). Fluent in French and Cat 😸, she is a public school educator and administrator with a passion for all music, especially anything with harmonies that give her goosebumps! When she’s not singing, Jenn is traveling, photographing, cooking, playing guitar and piano, or redecorating her apartment… for the 100th time.

AMANDA LIM

Alto 2 / Music Director / VP

Amanda has been singing a cappella for 8 years, both competitively and recreationally with high school, college, and professional teams. She also arranges pieces and does commissions for other groups, and lives by the motto, "go low or go home". Her favorite vocal bands include The Real Group, Take 6, and more recently, Pentatonix. She's an ecommerce program consultant by day, but otherwise also a skilled photographer and percussionist, and can be found playing the french horn or dulcimer in her spare time.

BREE LALOR

Soprano 1 / Soprano 2

Bree fell in love with a cappella in college, where she sang with the Harvard Fallen Angels. Bree is extremely excited to sing with Mezzo after moving from Boston to New York. Bree works as a Curator for ArtLifting, a social enterprise that champions artists impacted by homelessness or disabilities through the sale and celebration of their artwork. When she’s not singing, Bree can be found creating artwork, exploring NYC, researching her ancestors, or watching Gilmore Girls.

SOPHIA BROOKS

Alto 2

Sophia discovered her love for choir in second grade, but her world opened up when she joined an all female a cappella group at Bucknell.

Music was missing once she moved from Pittsburgh to NYC, so she was thrilled to join Mezzo in fall 2021 and once again sing with incredibly talented women.

Sophia works on the client services team at a startup and in her free time, she loves walking around the city, listening to crime podcasts, dog watching in central park and trying new restaurants.
