amanda lim
Alto / Vocal Percussionist Music Director
Amanda has been singing a cappella for more than 2 decades, 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".
She's a management 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.
ANGEL WANG
Angel has been singing since she was a kid, and that passion eventually turned into A-Sharp, a YouTube channel with her sister that’s grown to over 40,000 subscribers. She got her start in choir back in middle school, then caught the a cappella bug in college with Pipettes, an all-female group at Caltech.
By day, she’s a software engineer, but she’s also a content creator, an avid cook and baker, and a certified foodie always on the hunt for the next great restaurant. When she’s not singing or eating her way through the city, she’s staying active through lifting, chasing the same competitive drive she grew up with playing sports (she even captained her college volleyball team)!

BREE LALOR
Bree fell in love with a cappella in college, where she sang with the Harvard Fallen Angels, and joined Mezzo after moving from Boston to New York in 2018.
Bree works as Head Curator for ArtLifting, a social enterprise that champions artists impacted by disabilities through the sale and celebration of their artwork.
When she’s not singing, Bree can be found painting, Citi biking around NYC, researching her ancestors, or picnicking in Prospect Park with her dog Pinto.
Briana Hall
Briana, a dedicated high school choir teacher based in vibrant Harlem, discovered her passion for a Cappella during her college years.
With over five years of teaching experience, she has nurtured the love for music in countless students. Beyond the classroom, she finds solace in the great outdoors through camping and hiking.
Her musical journey has taken her overseas, where she taught music in New Zealand, and performed on tour with her choir throughout Germany.

jenn rodriguez
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.
reynetta sampson
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!!!

sophia brooks
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.
