Jalea Villarama and Giselle Sarmiento have been singing with each other since the beginning of their high school careers. They were both in their high school's choir and ever since then, they never stopped singing together. Jalea plays guitar and has been playing since 8th grade. Giselle plays the piano and has been playing uke since the 7th grade. They both have been in several choirs and have a lot of musical experience. Music has been an outlet for them to express themselves so being a part of the Fashion Talent Show is very important to them. Because music connected them as best friends, they hope to bring people together through the music they make. They hope they can be a source of light to people who may be hurting in any type of way & to be a positive motivating force to show people there is hope through their music.

Camilla CatignasCamilla Catignas is a graduating 4th year Public Health Science major. Since she was little, Camilla always invested herself in art and music. She grew up playing the piano and violin, going on to play the clarinet and percussion instruments in drumline for her high school marching band. Nowadays, Camilla write songs to jam out on her ukulele. Somewhere along the way in college, Camilla realized that she enjoys expressing herself through spoken word poetry as well as singing and acting in musical theater. Her love for writing and performing spoken word began when she started listening to more Asian-American indie artists and femme rappers who inspired her to strive to do the same. Camilla always enjoyed writing out her thoughts and experiences in journals, so she began making art out of that. Camilla hopes to spread her passion for poetry and inspire others to not be afraid to get out of their comfort zone, pursue their own art and—most importantly—find their own voice.
