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. An accomplished singer and musician again brought up in the Christian faith, Celia led her own group and is also a member of the London Adventist Chorale. 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.

Singing has always been a great passion for Sandra. From an early age, she sang with her family and in church, where she learned about singing harmonies.

Shereece has always been involved in music, dance and theatre, both through study and performance.  Shereece is a talented singer/ songwriter and arranger. She teaches voice, runs Harrow Youth Gospel Choir, and leads workshops for Black Voices, Harrow Music Service and The Prince's Trust.

Most recently Shereece completed a Master of Music in Songwritng at Bath Spa University and passed with Merit. With this she hopes to realise her life-long ambition to be a topline writer for the Top 40.

Evon has been singing since childhood. She initially sang with her sisters in a trio, The Nelson Sisters, in church. She entered many talent shows locally and nationally and was always successful, which naturally boosted her confidence as a singer. Not content just to sing at weddings and funerals, Evon was always looking for another challenge. In 2001, she auditioned for Black Voices and has not looked back since.

The term ‘born to sing’ is synonymously used to describe Monique. Born to Reverend Clement and Missionary Sonia Reid, Monique started singing at the tender age of three alongside her siblings. They went on to form the group ‘Monique and the Twins’ and later Monique became an accomplished session singer in her own right. Her credits include working with pop–soul singer Michael Bolton, RnB diva Beverley Knight, Grammy award winning reggae band Steel Pulse, jazz-rap fusion group US3, and many more local and national bands, soloists and choirs.

Monique is a talented songwriter as well as a skilful vocal tutor/ arranger and has worked on various theatre projects in this capacity.  Monique first joined Black Voices in 1998 and found her eclectic experience of performing useful in adapting to the many styles and genres of Black voices. She later went on to obtain a Law Degree and although Monique has forged a successful law career, her love and passion for singing always takes centre stage.
