NEPA Sings: Meet the contestants

Meet the contestants: Lisa Percevault

Lisa, who describes herself as “21 for the second time,” wants people to know “it’s never too late to do anything.”

After being encouraged by her choir teacher in high school, Lisa has been pushing herself to do her personal best since then – even auditioning for American Idol over 14 years ago.

On top of performing as part of NEPA Sings, Lisa is graduating in May with her Master’s degree in Business Administration and is in the process of applying to law school.   

Lisa says it’s “awesome” to be part of a competition that helps give kids in Luzerne County a voice, even if it’s just one kid at a time.

“My wish is that all kids who need a CASA will have a CASA,” Lisa said. “But if only one new kid is assigned a CASA as a result of this event, it will be worth it.”

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.”
