Treble In Paradise A Cappella

Meet the Group

Royce Nelson

Royce Nelson

Royce began her performance career as a toddler tip-toeing in tap shoes, and excelled to fronting bands and opening for name acts. She also headlined for a variety of shows on Carnival Cruise Line, and spent many hours in the studio working with top talent in Los Angeles. After being diagnosed with a “career ending vocal injury” she began what became a long road to recovery. Through that, she discovered her love for a cappella, joining Los Angeles based group The Over Tones. When she relocated to South Florida she found there wasn’t anything like it and thus the idea for Treble In Paradise was born. She has been our fearless leader heading the charge to blaze new a cappella territory in South Florida!
