IC Voicestream is one of the six officially recognized a cappella groups at Ithaca College.[1] Founded in 2002 by Simon Baumer, Paul Canetti, Marissa De Vito, and Jessica Kupiec, the group is known as the college's premier a cappella group. The group performs strictly contemporary pop and rock songs.[2]

History

IC Voicestream was founded in 2002 by Simon Baumer, Paul Canetti, Marissa De Vito, and Jessica Kupiec after Canetti joined another a cappella group on campus, the all-male Ithacappella, but left and formed IC Voicestream with Kupiec, De Vito, and Baumer to break the boundaries of typical a cappella groups, focusing more on rock music, but also adapting contemporary pop. The group later rose to popularity, becoming the most popular a cappella group on campus.[3]

Over time, their success led them to branch out into competitive a cappella, with their first major competition occurring in the 2010s. In 2014, IC Voicestream made a significant mark in their career by placing second in the ICAA quarterfinals.[4]

In popular culture

IC Voicestream gained recognition from Trisha Paytas after Ted Nivison, a well-known YouTuber and comedian, discussed his experience as a former member during a conversation on her podcast.[5]
