NEPA Sings: Meet the contestants

Meet the contestants: Alicia Savinelli

Since first getting into music at an early age, 26-year-old Alicia says she now “lives to sing.” She also works with kids on a daily basis as part of her mom’s family daycare, so she knows how important it is that children feel safe.

“My whole world revolves around music and kids,” she said. “So to be able to be a part of an event that helps keep (kids) safe and live a happy life makes me happy.”

Alicia, who can whistle any song in perfect pitch, almost made it on Season 7 of The Voice, but teams were full when it came time for her audition.

“It would be awesome to win this competition, Alicia said about NEPA Sings. “To win a competition doing something I absolutely love is like no other feeling.”

NEPA Sings: Meet the contestants

Meet the contestants: Jasmine Anne Mitchell    

Jasmine, 21, has been singing for almost all of her life. Starting at the age of two, Jasmine joined her family singing in churches in and around the Wyoming Valley.

As a preschool teacher, Jasmine understands the importance of children feeling heard.

“I love the fact that I get to give a child a voice,” Jasmine said about being part of an event that benefits CASA of Luzerne County. “I love children so I feel blessed to be able to bless a child and give them that voice.”

Though Jasmine wants to win NEPA Sings, she’s also just happy to be along for the ride.

“Honestly, it would mean the world to me (to win), but I want to enjoy myself and have fun,” she said.
