The UNCW Seabelles
Founded in 2010, the Seabelles is UNCW's one and only all female a cappella group. Even though they're made up entirely of college students, these girls would rather be making four-part harmonies and beatboxing their way around campus than be in class. They've performed at the annual Azaela Festival and the Bellamy Mansion Christmas Stroll. The Seabelles go the extra mile by arranging all of their own music and exhibit their love of a cappella with every performance.

The Bluestones
The award-winning BluesTones were founded at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia in 1999. They have been "melting faces" ever since. (That's a musicology term.)

The Bluestones modestly note, "At a glance, we might just seem like an attractive group of women who can rock the color blue, but that's not all- we look pretty good in black, too."

This NYC-based, all female sextet is known for combining pop leads, rich harmonies, and hip-hop dance moves. Beatboxer, MC Beats made a show-stopping entry into the beatbox community in 2012 when she was ranked 3rd best female beatboxer in the world at the Beatbox Battle World Championship in Germany. Stiletta members boast multiple off-broadway credits, and everything from WAMMY and CARA awards, to original cast recordings for “Memphis” and “Dora the Explorer”. Stiletta's director, Judy Fontana is already well-loved at SingStrong as both the DC and Chicago Single Singers director, and the group is excited to show their SingStrong family that they have the moves, the grooves and even the shoes!

Grace McLean
Huff Post calls this NYC-based live-looper, "Electrifying!" Manhattan User's Guide writes, "This pop and jazz singer writes seriously infectious melodies with seriously antic lyrics. Her voice can raise the roof, or she can slide off a note and break your heart." Sometimes compared to artists like Julia Easterlin, once McLean begins, you won't be able to take your eyes off her for a moment. She loops layer upon layer of live harmony over her live leads, all the while putting the audience's focus on her incredible singing and songwriting. It's only after that one marvels at her mastery of the technology. McLean made her mark in theatre and indie rock. SingStrong marks McLean's a cappella debut.
