"We never actually thought that signing a record deal could be a reality,” says the group. “If someone had told any of us five years ago that this would be our reality, we never would have believed you. We are so grateful to RCA for believing in us and we can’t wait to show the world who we really are.” “When I first heard Citizen Queen I was stunned by the quality of their vocal skills,” says RCA Records Chairman & CEO, Peter Edge. “Their intricate vocal arrangements and harmonies sound so effortless and accessible, with each member representing her own unique vibe. Kudos to Scott Hoying for putting together a fresh new spin on the traditional girl group with such care and flair.” “Working with Citizen Queen and getting to know them as musicians, performers and individuals has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career,” says co- founder Scott Hoying. “I’m just so happy and proud of the group and I can’t wait for the word to see how incredibly talented these girls are.” Citizen Queen consists of vocalists Cora Isabel (Beatboxer, 18), Hannah Mrozak (Mezzo- Soprano, 20), Kaedi Dalley (Bass, 18), Kaylah Sharve’ (Alto, 20) and Nina Nelson (Soprano, 21).
