Carter Maysilles (baritone) is a barbershop brat from Lapeer, Michigan who has had music as a huge part of her life growing up starting with her mother. In fact, she sang in her first quartet (well, it was her moms quartet) at the age of three! After college graduation, Carter packed her bags for Walt Disney World in Florida, where she sang with Voices of Liberty at EPCOT for six years. Today, Carter lives with her husband, Amos Velez (also a barbershopper), near Orlando, Florida.
Ashley Wright (Lead) is a third-generation barbershopper, originally from southern California. At the young age of 5, she was already singing solos and other ensemble pieces at her school and in church. At the age of 9, Ashley was a member of a 50-voice Sweet Adeline International Chorus (4-part barbershop harmony for women). She competed in her first quartet at the age of 12. Ashley then joined her churchs adult choir at the age of 13. By the age of 16, she began recording learning tracks for her fathers own vocal learning tracks business Larry Wright Music at www.LarryWrightMusic.com and still records them to this day.
Ashley joined the South Bay Christian Choir at 19 her fathers touring choir. At 23, she formed a quartet called Junction with the director of the TuneTown Show Chorus and placed 4th in the Womens Region 23 Competition. Then at 24, Speed of Sound was formed and her life as she knew it would never be the same. :-)
