SLYMI members singing and laughing together at rehearsal

Real members · Real stories

Come for the music.
Stay for the people.

What SLYMI feels like—from the people who know it best.

01 / In their own words

More than
a choir.

Some members arrived with years of singing behind them. Others hadn’t sung since school. Many came alone. Their stories are different, but they return to the same things: music, confidence, laughter and belonging.
