Matt Goldstein

Matt Goldstein (he/him) is an award-winning vocal arranger, circle singing facilitator, singer/songwriter, music director, and educator who is dedicated to building community through collaborative musical creation. Ever since graduating from Vassar College with a degree in Music & Drama, Matt has worked as a full-time music-maker: composing custom vocal arrangements, creating and leading innovative musical experiences, writing & performing original music, and teaching private lessons and group masterclasses in singing, arranging, vocal improvisation, and ensembleship.

He recently earned both awards for Best Professional Arrangement (Scholastic & Non-Scholastic) at the 2020 CARA awards (the a cappella GRAMMYS), and his arranging work has garnered him numerous awards at a cappella festivals such as the ICCA, BOSS, and SoJam. Matt has also worked with students at vocal events nationwide, including at the 2023 National A Cappella Convention (NACC) and as an instructor for A Cappella Academy. He has led vocal ensembles such as Hyannis Sound and The Vassar Devils to place at international vocal competitions, record multiple award-winning albums, and even to perform for President and First Lady Obama at the White House in 2015.

Most recently, he founded Gaia Music Collective, a NYC-based creative community that seeks to create spaces for people to connect and co-create through collective musical expression. The organization seeks to break down the barriers between performer & audience and facilitate experiences that allow singers to express themselves freely, create & collaborate with joy, and build community around shared passions. Matt is endlessly amazed by human beings and their ability to tap into the flowing currents of music that flow in and around us all, and he has dedicated his career to the study of this powerful magic.

Will Britton

My name is Will Britton, and I’m a Freelance Audio Engineer. While in college at UMASS Lowell, I found my passion for the a cappella community. I was part of UMASS Lowell’s Hawkapella, the school’s all male identifying group. During my time with them, we recorded the group's debut EP, Hatched, as well as their debut album, How to Tie a Bowtie.  The experiences I had during that time set me on the path that lead to where I am today. From writing the arrangement to adding the last few touches on a mix, I fell in love with the whole process. Since graduating from UMASS Lowell’s Sound Recording Technology program, I have been working freelance, specializing in a cappella music. When I’m not working/making music, you can find me playing games, working out, and going rock climbing.
