ABOUT US

Inversion A Cappella is a group local to Salt Lake City. Inversion, in music, is a rearrangement of the top-to-bottom elements in an interval, a chord, or a melody. In Salt Lake City, it’s that nasty smog that gets trapped in the valley. We tie the two together in our name! Our group has been around since November 2015. It all started with a Craigslist ad and a meet up in Kneaders. Now, we’ve performed for Salt Lake Governors, Local Church leaders, and were even featured in 2020’s virtual “Light the World” worldwide Christmas performances. We sing all year round and all over Salt Lake and Utah Counties. Talk to us about singing for your upcoming event!

Savannah Olroyd

Soprano

Savannah used to practice singing mainly by rocking out in the car and taking karaoke way too seriously. She was too preoccupied with playing her clarinet in school to join a choir. In 2022 she joined the Yale Citations during her postdoc to get more formal vocal training, and she fell in love with a cappella.
Outside of singing, Savannah enjoys crafts and games. She can be summoned by talking about rabbits.

Marie Hansen

Mezzo/Alto

Marie has loved singing since she was a kid, and that early passion grew into a lifelong devotion to tight harmonies and expressive ensemble work. She’s performed live with professional bands and sung on studio sessions, blending vocal technique with the spontaneity of the stage. Marie thrives on crafting precise, satisfying harmonies and bringing energy to every performance. Above all, she loves making people feel good through music and sharing moments that connect and uplift the audiece.

Neen Hamel

Alto/Soprano

Neen has been recklessly singing since early childhood, much to her twin brother’s dismay (it’s okay – he loves her). A few years of musical theater and choir helped polish her voice; and in college, she fell in love with jazz and joined Vocal Jazz. During her final semester, she wrote her very first song, “La Fille Du Vent” – a jazz piece performed with her rock-and-roll band. After a few seasons with the West Coast Singers, the LGBTQ+ chorus of Los Angeles, Neen moved to Utah and was delighted to find this sweet group and try a cappella for the first time.

Eva Hu

Alto

Eva grew up playing piano and singing karaoke at home with her (very talented) parents. For a while, music was pushed to the sidelines as she became engrossed in the study of biology and the human body. But now that she’s (finally!) done with school, she’s excited to find her way back to music.

Eva joined the SCERA Chamber Choir two years ago and has thoroughly enjoying making music with an amazing community. She’s thrilled to join Inversion and give a cappella a try!

Eva has a black cat named Luna who knows how to high five and shake hands – only when treats are offered, of course. She loves hiking, rock climbing, hosting game nights, and taking pictures of beautiful views and people. She tries to always be learning something new (currently studying new recipes, dabbling in tennis, and getting into trail running).

Ryan Fenske

Tenor

Ryan came from a musical family and has been singing and playing instruments since childhood. After crushing high school choirs and musicals, he joined his first A Cappella group, Bassic A Cappella at Colorado State University.
Once he graduated as a civil engineer, he followed his pre-med wife Jamie to Houston, Texas for medical school where he joined another A Cappella group, Docappella (despite being the only non-medical member). Now he’s back out west and ready to take on more A Cappella!

Ryan Andersen

Tenor/Baritone

Ryan has been singing since he can remember, along with his 6 older brothers! Growing up, he performed in over 10 musicals, with some of his favorite roles being: Fagin in “Oliver!”, Frog in “A Year With Frog and Toad”, Chef Louis in “The Little Mermaid”, and Frollo in “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.”
Ryan joined Desperate Measures, a high school a cappella group back in his hometown of Ann Arbor, and was the music director his senior year, arranging the “Pokémon Go Theme” and “Young, Dumb, and Broke” by Khalid for the group. He was in choir all through school and is well trained in sight reading, music theory, and arranging music.
As one of our youngest members, Ryan brings contagious energy and positivity to rehearsal, and you’ll always catch him smilin’ and groovin’ on stage!

Evan Huft

Tenor/Baritone

Evan started singing in middle school and continued through high school as a definite choir geek, singing in the Madrigal and Concert choirs.
While auditioning for the Utah-based a cappella group Voice Male while attending Utah State University, he fell in love with a cappella music and vowed that one day he would sing in a group. Though it took a few years, that opportunity presented itself and he started his own men’s contemporary a cappella group “Font Porch”, later changing the name to “West of Jordan”. They sang together for about nine years.
Since then life has thrown some curve balls, but he is very excited to be back in the a cappella game and extremely happy to be a part of Inversion A Cappella!
Evan also enjoys photography, going places he has never been before, and spending time with his family.

Ian Shen

Bass/Vocal Percussion

Ian started singing at age 16 when he signed on for an accoustic performance series at his high school and realized he had to sing too. His journey into a cappella began a few years later when a college friend peer pressured him into joining the extremely serious Disney-focused group known as the Aristocows as their bass and villain song specialist. Since then, he’s lived and worked in various locations across the country, but he’s always kept singing, notably spending a couple years with UC Berkeley’s Noteworthy during grad school. After returning to Utah and spending a few months tearing up the karaoke bar circuit, he’s excited to return to a cappella with Inversion and slot in wherever he’s needed. Outside of singing, Ian enjoys tabletop gaming, playing bass guitar, and writing music reviews online.

James Watts

Bass/Vocal Percussion

James started singing around the time he started speaking, and he really hasn’t stopped since. When James was a teenager, he was introduced to the world of a cappella through Voice Male’s “Up, Up And Away” album. After recovering the pieces of his blown mind, James made it his goal to one day be part of an a cappella band. While in college at the University of Utah, James finally saw that dream realized when he became the bass, vocal percussionist, and part-time music arranger for the U of U’s a cappella band, Infrared. Roughly a year after graduating from the U with a degree in Computer Engineering, James joined Inversion, and he’s been having a blast ever since!
James now sells his a cappella arrangements, which can be found here.
