As the founder of Black Voices, Carol has used her diverse musical experience in developing the group's artistic mission. Like many of the singers she looks up to, her first musical experiences were nurtured in the black church where her father was the minister. Born into a very musical family, Carol played cello, piano and wind instruments. However, she proudly admits her weakness for the beauty of the human voice. Her happiest times? "When Black Voices speak through their music to any audience, and you see and feel the messages being received."

Celia was destined to be in Black Voices, the path that led her to the group confirms this.

Celia leads workshops on behalf of Black Voices, a skill she discovered upon joining the group.

Like so many great singers, Jennifer started singing in her local church choir at a very early age. Her talent and vocal performance of Gospel music led to her being asked to sing with the Midlands Christian Community Choir all over the UK. She trained with the London Community Gospel Choir in workshops and concerts. Jennifer was invited to take up the position of assistant Choir Director with MCCC, arranging harmonies and songs with the choir and band. Jennifer was soon in demand to perform backing and lead vocals for a range of groups in her hometown of Birmingham and around the UK. She has toured & performed with Motown band, The Dictionary of Soul, and was a guest performer in the West End musical, 125th Street. She has toured Europe and the UK with the West End show, The Official Tribute to the Blues Brothers. Jennifer still performs with a few local bands in Birmingham but is excited to have joined Black Voices, and looks forward to developing her talents further in her new found love of a cappella.
