Royce Nelson Smith
Royce Nelson Smith
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!

My name is Alexandra Lacayo but I go by Ali, I am originally from Illinois but moved to Miami Florida to get my Masters in Architecture which I have acquired this past spring.
I have been singing since I was little but was always shy about it until I auditioned for my first musical in Highschool. After that I joined any and every singing group I could. I was in choir, jazz choir and, show choir (Titan Fever, theyre lowkey famous I think theyve made it to nationals multiple times).
When I moved to Florida I was desperate to sing again and I found HEARTbeats A Cappella at FIU and now wanting to continue expressing myself through song even after graduating I found TIP (#so happy to be a part of this group <3 :)).
Extra info: I love dancing and competed in latin dance, Ive played sports all my life but primarily soccer (I just enjoy being active).
