Wei Sun (2011), Webmaster
Wei first began pretending to produce music when his parents placed him in front of a giant black noise-producing contraption called a 'piano'. Having learned about notes and stuff, he later tried out the saxophone and discovered jazz, and attempted to improvise music in the hopes that someone finds it interesting. He finally found the noble art of beatboxing in college and has never looked back (although you might still find him pounding away at that contraption from time to time).

Tiffany Lin (2011)
Tiffany is currently a sophomore, majoring in EECS and considering a minor in Chinese. She has been singing in a choir since she was 6, and is very happy to be singing in college. She wishes that Americans could actually pronounce her middle name correctly so she doesn't have to tack an e to it and sound like she was named after a month she wasn't born in.

Jessie Wang (2009)
Jessie is a right-brained child who wishes she could be more left-brained like her adorable younger sister. She firmly believes that music can change/save the world and (not so) secretly wishes she could be a) a pop star, b) a Broadway diva, or c) all of the above and more. Jessie is currently obsessed with jazz-related/jazz-influenced music and the musical Wicked. Her goal in life is to one day write and compose a musical as meaningful as Wicked.

Kenny Yan (2008), Founder
Kenny has always loved music as a child, and fell in love with singing ever since he mistakenly opted out of his 4th grade chorus (and begged them later to let him join). While some people may call him "founder" of Syncopasian, he claims that he simply gathered everybody together and handed off a few songs, and it was the hard work and persistence of original group that made the real magic happen. He is now studying his butt off in Cleveland to become a doctor, and yet he still finds time to sing for the medical school a cappella group, Docapella, and to sneak back to MIT to see Syncopasian perform.

Christine Lee (2009)
In her past life, Christine was a giant, fuzzy totoro who oversaw nature, befriended small children, flew on spinning tops, and made weird squishy noises when she moved. Unfortunately, in this life she's stuck as a mere human. Luckily, she's retained some of her totoro ways and loves to sleep, eat, befriend small children, and make weird squishy noises when she moves. In her spare time, she likes to gather other Christines to walk around with so she can pretend that she doesn't hear people when they are trying to talk to her.

Anne Liu (2008)
Anne has loved (attempting) to sing since she joined high school chorus in 5th grade. This love of music combined with her obsession with pretty boys and anime naturally led to her obsession with asian popstars and boybands. Of course, her inability to read, write, or even really speak Chinese, Japanese, or Korean proved to be a slight hindrance...nevertheless! the music must not stop! No matter how poor the pronunciation, or how slurred the words, Anne's love of Asian music continued through her tenure with Syncopasian and to this day in the sketchy K-town karaoke bars of NYC and Baltimore. Anne is currently finishing up a masters degree in Baltimore and will probably continue to be in school for the rest of her life.

Joann Wu (2009)
Joann was used to playing music just with her hands.. and some hammers, on the hammer dulcimer that is! The name of the instrument came from its sweet sounds, which is a lot different from human voice, but silly Joann learned to sing any how. She's been very enthusiastic about singing since like day one of elementary school, participating in every single musical group/team possible, none of which was vocal though, until high school!! The Lowell Choir (of the famous Lowell High School in San Francisco) was fun, and Syncopasian only makes it less emotionally difficult when Joann misses the choir. College was when Joann Wu learned really to sing and live and play badminton, which are her three most favored activities! -- all thanks to all the friends, roommates, Syncopasians who've shown up throughout these three remarkable years. Though she'll be away this one semester, she'll miss performing and practicing with fellow Syncopasians .. SO MUCH!!
