2020 Contemporary A Cappella Awards (CARA) Wins!

On April 5th, the 2020 CARA Awards were presented virtually live on the official CARA Awards Facebook page. While this was the first year ever in CARA history that there wasn't a physical awards ceremony, it was the first year that my work could be in the running for awards. I'm very pleased and excited to announce that I received 12 nominations for projects I worked on, and two of those nominees won the award with one award receiving a runner-up! Below is a list of the nominations with the winners in bold and the runner-up in italics, all of which I edited the vocals and drums. I'm so proud that my work is being recognized and I cannot wait to continue my work in a cappella.
