She will travel the country, along with 13 other members, performing at approximately 40 arts venues across the United States.

Geynes graduated from the University of Dayton in 2017 with a degree in Musical Arts. Despite being fresh out of college, Gyenes’s résumé is already filled with impressive accomplishments.

In high school Gyenes was a part of the award winning a cappella group, Eleventh Hour, which some may remember as the youngest group to appear on “The Sing-Off” in 2010.

Then, in 2015, Gyenes’s voice was featured as a background singer for the internationally known, three-time Grammy award winners, Pentatonix.

In order to be considered for a part in D Cappella Gyenes submitted a video of herself singing a cover of a pop song and a cover of a Disney song. Once submitted the videos were viewed by Disney’s team which included Deke Sharon, who is considered to be one of the greatest a cappella singers of all time.
