HIVE is a group of humans making music with just their voices and some crazy sound effects - all while trying to make the world a better place.
 
All HIVE singers are also music educators and not only sing and perform, but also teach workshops on vocal music. Giving back to the musical community through education is a core value of the group.  
 
HIVE has performed all over the country at vocal festivals and events, including Boston Sings (BOSS), Milwaukapella and WeSing Vocal Festival. In September 2018, HIVE had the honor of performing at Carnegie Hall for The A Cappella Open Finals. Since the group’s inception in fall of 2017, HIVE has released four singles and music videos and is in the process of writing new original music for a debut album.
 
HIVE is influenced by craftsmanship in songwriting, lyrics that are raw in honesty and true to spirit, and music that moves people. Artists like Krystle Warren, Merrill Garbus, Becca Stevens and Laura Mvula have shaped the sound and soul of HIVE’s music.
 
HIVE is Christina Wilson, Lisa Forkish, Moorea Dickason and Nina Kasuya.
