Ted Trembinski has been working diligently to improve the state of a cappella since he heard the phrase "two p's, two l's". While at Binghamton University, Ted sang with both the CARA winning group Kaskeset and the infamous The Binghamton Crosbys. In 2010, Ted graduated with a BA in Music and BS in Economic Analysis.

Ted has attended Bill Hare and Deke Sharon's Soup2Nuts seminar and has since worked on numerous projects as a recording engineer and producer. His past clients include Yale's Out of the Blue, The YU Maccabeats, Queens College's Tizmoret, Binghamton's Harpur Harpeggios, as well as many others.

A cappella came into the life of Mickey Hamilton later on while at college tucked away in the Pennsylvania mountainside at Mansfield University. As a member of The Ellison Collection, he was an arranger for the group and took on the role of music director for a time before graduation, while also filling in for the former Ithaca based group, The Sons of Pitches.

He is a graduate with degrees in Voice Performance from Mansfield University and Recording Technology, Entertainment Business from Full Sail University. Mickey returned home afterwards to rejoin the Rochester, NY based post-collegiate group, The Smoking Hot Pipes where he started as a member in between degree programs. He has even had the opportunity to learn from the inimitable Bill Hare and Deke Sharon through the Soup 2 Nuts program.

Mickey has since worked with numerous groups such as 5-Second Rule, Innerloop, Cut Off, and has even had the privilege of being one of 3 directors to workshop the CARA award winning group, The Red States of NYC.

Hailing all the way from California, Jeston experienced the sweet sounds of a cappella
at a young age during a summer music camp session where he sang Joseph Bates’
arrangement of “Hide and Seek” by Imogen Heap and since then, he has not been able
to satisfy his appetite for awesome a cappella. He has had the pleasure of singing with
The Stony Brook High C’s as well as starting Dominant 7, a mixed group with ties to the
Stony Brook/Long Island area.

Currently in his final year at Stony Brook University, he is looking forward to going out
into the world and making his mark on the a cappella community. Jeston has worked
with Freddie Feldman and Dave Brown at A Cappella Boot Camp and has started
various recording projects with The High C’s and is looking forward to working with
other amazing artists.

Jeston is based out of Long Island, NY and is available for producing.
