Emily got involved with Trills ‘n Chills through her vocal coach Eva Kendrick, who directs the group.

Emily has been taking voice lessons since elementary school, but she started working with Eva about four years ago.

Her favorite thing about a cappella is that it gives her the chance to come together with friends to celebrate their shared passion for singing. She says, “We are thrilled to have been chosen as finalists, and we feel fortunate to have the opportunity to spread our joy of singing to as many people as we can. We love what we do, and we hope you enjoy watching us perform. Please vote for us!”
