A jack of all trades, Grant splits his silky, smooth voice between bass, baritone, and beatboxing and is almost always the odds-on favorite for a low solo. Sometimes, we wish we could clone him. With the departure of KB, he can finally lay claim to being the second-tallest member of Speak. In his free time, you can find Grant singing opera, working out, and playing basketball with friends. He’s the most alpha in the group because he benches 300. In the future, Grant plans to pursue a career in the medical field while maintaining his love for singing and performing whenever he can. Grant Big. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1717643660220-3NP349NRE189P506GO2E/Ben1.jpg Members - Ben Matz Music Director, Class of 2025 Ben Matz is a bass from Baltimore, Maryland studying ECE who loves a cappella. Known for his soothing, deep, and ever so slightly raspy voice, Matz has one of the calmest demeanors in the group. With the departure of KB, he can finally lay claim to being the tallest member of Speak. His favorite hidden talent is the “Butt Tongue” (ask him). Despite the fact that he has to say “Every Good Boy Does Fine” and “FACE in the Space” out loud every time he reads treble clef, the senior has miraculously become Speak's Music Director. When he’s not singing, you can find Ben playing basketball, solving crosswords, and figuring out how to maximize his efficiency. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1717647397456-L6US7LI6B7QLCLB0HX7I/HunterGoofy.jpg Members - Hunter Habersaat Treasurer, Class of 2026 No one in the history of the program has ever made the transition from rockstar to a capella look so natural. Hailing from Leesburg, Virginia (or as he dubs it, “Bumblef**k NoVa), Hunter has slid into the group with ease largely due to his gravelly, sultry voice. He’s notable for his abnormally high muscle density in both his triceps and his brain. In his free time, you can find Hunter doing integrals, wearing pants, snapping really fast, and making axolotl noises. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1717643608989-02BOWINB23AGZ4NH7WFA/Gavin.jpeg Members - Gavin Vander Schaaf Publicity Chair, Class of 2027 Gavin is a Robertson scholar (of the UNC Variety) who can really bring the house down with his powerful pipes. He has 3 dogs back home in NY, plays tennis and pickleball, and stands at a very tall 5’ 6” (editor's note: that's a generous measurement). Gavin is also oddly good at lawn games. Perhaps it is because he is secretly a lawn gnome? In the future, he plans to become an English teacher, eventually becoming a principal or superintendent of a high school. Minipekka also hopes to grow to the size of Grant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1717648516595-OM3MEY5ESKYKY89WIFLT/Derrick.jpg Members - Derrick Hamilton Alumni Chair, Class of 2027 Derrick is a Robertson Scholar (of the Duke Variety) who hails from the great city of Memphis, Tennessee. When he's not singing bass, you can find him benching 299 so that he can dance better with his chest. Sometimes, in the middle of the night, Derrick wakes up midway through his rendition of the National Anthem. He loves his Stars and Stripes. In the future, Derrick plans to either attend medical school or become a talking plant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1717702969987-CGMREJRGLUXQ98KG9S6C/Gus3.jpg Members - Gus Gress Social Chair, Class of 2025 It's giving...slay. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1717648239461-LC4TR128EB0SI4RDS9JV/Hanson.jpg Members - Hanson Yuan Class of 2025 Hanson and his sultry T1 backing vocals hail from Hong Kong. He's really not that interesting (editor's note: his words, not mine). In his free time, you can find Hanson playing video games, working out (allegedly), and sliding into your LinkedIn DMs. He also likes to have political debates, but most other people don't. Did we mention that he went to Berkeley? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1717648501943-SLDIRA2PYDWVULAWCWO0/Honeybone.jpg Members - Max "Honeybone" Honeybone Class of 2026 Max is a Swedish-Texan Ken Doll who loves meatballs and IKEA as much as T-bone steaks and lone stars. He has been singing his whole life and loves doing both country music and modern takes on classics. He’s a longtime hockey player and plays at Duke. In the future, he hopes to see Speak become the #1 group in North Carolina. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1717648456696-8PSOXQLLPK78MW6D5XBO/Namit.jpg Members - Namit Kapoor Class of 2027 Born and raised in Queens, New York (though he now lives on Long Island), Namit grew up vibing to subway singers and Broadway bums. In his free time, Namit scrolls endlessly through shitty Instagram reels and writes love letters to his favorite politicians using ChatGPT. When he's not scootering into Speak rehearsals, Namit can be found pondering the eternal question: "Is it possible to sing in an Indian accent?" Namit looks forward to having a devilishly awesome time performing and hanging out with the group. We can't wait to show off his "moan-worthy" falsetto. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1717643647649-ILP25UQQ3H3WV1W1NU44/Jack.jpeg Members - CJ Frederickson Class of 2027 CJ is a Tenor 2 from Pittsburgh, PA. He'll dazzle you with his devilish dancing and serenade you with his sweet singing. No one really knows what CJ stands for, but the general consensus is that it's probably "Cool Jouster." CJ is a lover of string cheese and hater of country music. His favorite activity is doing the Cotton-Eyed Joe (maybe that is what CJ stands for). When he's not busting a move, you may find him watching Phineas and Ferb or "napping". https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1717643296900-J3EOKJPKCTQYXZMD886G/CJ.jpg Members - Jack "Mild" Clodfelter Class of 2027 Health Alert: Do you suffer from terrible allergies, poor sneaker choices, and a desire to read Latin literature? If so, you could have Clodfelter’s syndrome. Jack, a bio major, has loved music from an early age, performing opera and choir music since elementary school. At the time, he believed that a cappella was made for singers who didn’t deserve accompaniment, but changed his mind after attending a lively Speak concert. His smooth, sexy baritone voice is perfectly-tailored for mid-range solos. When he's not at rehearsal (which is often), you'll either find him boat racing at Lake Michie, testing the limits of sleep deprivation, or getting friend-zoned. Jack otherwise occupies himself by managing Duke Club Rowing, striving to become a physician, and learning about the wonders of Google Calendar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1717643300201-6H5DG80NR90IBDVETZBL/Cade.jpg Members - Cade Ferguson Class of 2025 Cade didn't give me anything for a bio. I'm mad at Cade. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1717647255634-Z3XKSB2L69JZ3Y0VW3VW/Henry.jpg Members - Henry Rodin Pitch Pipe, Class of 2025 Henry Rodin hails from New York, New York. You can tell because he'll tell you. His dulcet tenor tones are only surpassed by his apathy and laziness in rehearsal despite experiencing frequent back pains from carrying the tenor 2 section. Henry is majoring in psychology and is excited to diagnose the rest of Speak with a multitude of mental health issues stemming from the emotional trauma they've experienced at Duke. https://sotdmusic.com/contact daily 0.75 2017-06-26 https://sotdmusic.com/about daily 0.75 2022-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1717706186735-1653WD8DYMU7TJKKE87T/IMG_0593.JPG About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1501281684046-C58ENO240VXVA8T7Q5IW/About+2.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1664730434409-QXEVHHM72473K89V0U9A/DSC_0355.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1648655224470-1ZNM5U1K2SRB4SB763B8/IMG_3153.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1672852899475-1DODT2SHF1LJCJKMVFHV/GroupChristmasCrowd.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1667268138215-B060Y125FY34BXWPMJYJ/IMG_2080.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1655596140248-0EXW616Y3YMKBW4TUXKZ/Website.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1667267387252-QFTT6HM2YJO5QQ1YZOIU/P1090247.JPG About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1501281686630-7CV4M3UW6R5KT23Z2IUW/About+7.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1717706187518-Z9XVK1C70JMQUOGDR877/DSC05794.JPEG About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1667268139344-PAVVJPRFDGYDXXUCXYL2/IMG_2081.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1664730303204-T0EAN7FBO1HO3JAS8AK1/DSC_0345.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1501282560534-MH26MUJZX13TJ3ONKB8Z/About+18.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1667267389617-1M7ADVWQ0JIIWTYBWBT9/P1090333.JPG About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1648663567583-5H0P18RT2K5PGKZ5WFJN/2021-10-03+19%3A43%3A03.257.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1717706188227-61OTOPYC9XWV2L9W5JI3/DSC05657.JPEG About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1501281685791-FXNEWXI1YJX6D0PUAI6O/About+4.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1672852913912-IT78Y8HULF8KAGMVGKHD/GusChristmas.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1648655714454-38FYXRY7ZQ8V5D1PY4ZU/IMG_1722.jpeg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1501283541042-LIT26XXJ1LL99727GMC3/About+21.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1655596127990-0PPEOJ871W2R1P5MST3G/Website4.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1648655424019-1VK1UB4OR24H0QXW2US4/image-asset.jpeg About Speak after performing at the Parent’s Weekend DUArts showcase https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1664729907132-MYY80UXPA7I71CB2JF4J/DSC_0389.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bcd06844024365b3356f9a/1498437827385-AL3LDWZHQQDPQCIQD9NY/image-asset.jpeg About Speak at Homecoming, along with our newest Tenor 1: Grant Hill https://sotdmusic.com/music daily 0.75 2024-06-07
