Amplified is a mixed voice, student-led a cappella group from the University of Arizona, donning the Ampli-colors: black and La Fonda Turquoise. (Yes, it is that specific shade!)
The group was founded in 2012 to create a fun, close-knit community of people who love to sing, create, and perform. Amplified always aims to tell stories that reach beyond the meaning of the songs on their own, in order to create a more impactful experience.
Amplified has continued to grow within the world of a cappella since its founding. In 2019, the group released their first professionally recorded EP "Welcome Home" and has since released their first full length album "In Between" which received four Contemporary A Cappella Recording Award Nominations and won a 2022 CARA Award for Best Original Song by a Scholastic Group. Amplified has had continued success in the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella — they are six-time ICCA Semifinalists and had the amazing opportunity to compete in ICCA Finals in 2023.
The core of our group revolves around forging friendships and expanding our Ampli-family. Between balancing jobs, academics, and life beyond the university – we come together and share our talent, skill, and creativity. Together we, and our sound, are Amplified.
