Valkyries are a barbershop and acapella quartet residing in Los Angeles, California. They started their acapella career in the barbershop genre and grew into a variety of other genres. Valkyries are made up of Grace Lueck, Sarah Morehead, Emma Castillo, and Kayla Quilantang. The story of the Valkyries began in 2016 during their Sophomore year of High School. The girls all sang in the same choir, but in different voice parts... funny isn't it? At the time, their choir teacher was on maternity leave so they had a substitute. Who could've known that their choir substitute was going to be someone who would change their lives for the better? Janice Kueppers was their choir substitute and barbershop mastermind for the remaining time. She invited the choir to a barbershop workshop she was hosting and it happened to be that the four of them went! With the girls being different parts, they decided to form a quartet that same day!
