Hi, I’m Lydia. Ever since I can remember, music has been my greatest passion and the way I express who I am. Growing up in a small town, I’ve always dreamed of sharing my voice with a wider world and building a future in music. Now, I have an incredible opportunity: I was accepted into A Cappella Academy, a prestigious 10-day intensive program in California. There, I’ll learn and perform a variety of music styles, and work closely with some of the most respected artists and arrangers in the industry. This is more than just a program—it’s a doorway to new experiences, growth, and the first real step toward a future in music.

But as excited as I am, I’m facing a difficult reality. The costs of tuition and travel are more than I can manage on my own. I will not be able to attend without help. Every dollar raised will go directly toward making this dream possible, allowing me to represent my community and take my first steps beyond the borders of my community.

Another very important thing to me is my faith. I aspire to use my voice to spread God’s word and love. This opportunity will shape my faith-rooted future. Your support will enable me to amplify my voice and positively impact the world around me, guided by my beliefs and values.

I am deeply grateful for any support you can offer. Your generosity isn’t just helping me attend an academy—it’s helping me chase a dream I’ve held close to my heart for as long as I can remember. Thank you for believing in me and for being part of this journey.

If you would like to listen to a bit of what I do, here is a link to my A Cappella Academy audition video along with a video of me soloing in Hallelujah this past January’s WCDA Pop A Cappella Performance!
