3 out of 4, here comes more! Come meet our very sw 3 out of 4, here comes more! Come meet our very sweet ORION! 🎊 Orion Bloomfield, a freshman from central New Jersey (if that exists), is the newest edition to our favorite species of glasses-wearing-tallboi Keys. Orion is thinking of studying “a little bit” of computer science, but is a well-rounded, self-proclaimed nerd loving everything from high-stakes puzzle competitions to deep conversations. Orion says “I could vibe check myself with a bunch of animals” and aspires to identify as a narwhal or dolphin, but resonates the most profoundly with Roddy St. James, the pampered rat protagonist in Flushed Away, and Linguini from Ratatouille. Orion’s musical journey has brought him quite a long way, from touring the US with his middle school choir, to inadvertently meeting Billie Eilish in a workshop before she became famous, to maintaining one VERY long Youtube playlist with every song he has ever loved (no Spotify or Apple Music for this guy)! He’s even capable of throat singing overtones, so stay tuned for a one-man show of Orion singing his resonant baritone notes AND every other Keys part simultaneously :’) #BabyArch concludes tomorrow, so be on the look out for our last baby bio!
Next up in our #BabyArch series, we have our brill Next up in our #BabyArch series, we have our brilliant BENJAMIN! ✨ It’s hard to say where Benjamin Hokenson is from. He has lived in no less than Philly, Massachusetts, New York, and Mexico, but if you also count his high school exchange programs, you can add a few more countries—India, Cambodia, Norway, the list goes on. What can we say? He’s worldly. When he’s not traveling, though, you can find him scuba diving at home, studying Behavioral Decision Sciences here, or most of all, making music anywhere. Seriously, the man is on Spotify; go check him out @ Benjamin Michael. At the end of the day, though, Benjamin is all about keeping an open mind and having a good adventure, whether that’s all the way across the world or here in Providence. He’s a thrill seeker, not in the rollercoaster sense, but in the “always down to go out” sense. We love to see it, Benjamin. So glad to have you. Two down, two to go! #BabyArch continues tomorrow!
Starting off our #BabyArch series, we would love t Starting off our #BabyArch series, we would love to introduce you to the fantastic ERICA! 💫 Erica Song is a ray of sunshine in our lives, blessing us with her lifelong love of singing, her infectious joyful energy, and her wonderfully-apt surname. Hailing from Columbus, Indiana, this multi-talented member of the Class of 2024 is a master at playing classical piano, delivering accidental innuendos, stubbing her toes, and performing tongue twisters (the last of which she can capably demonstrate by performing an impressive Chinese tongue-twister rap). This Key’s energetic nature once earned her the nickname “Squirrel,” and though her energy has become calmer over time, she must still be kept from consuming too much coffee or delicious, delicious chocolate—or else her jitters may never stop. At Brown, Erica will likely be studying Applied Mathematics - Biology. Outside of Brown, her goal is to bring happiness to everyone she meets: a goal that she achieves every single day. Stay tuned in the coming days to learn about all of our Spring ‘21 Babies!
Now Presenting, The Higher Keys! We are so excit Now Presenting, The Higher Keys! We are so excited to welcome our freshest babs, Ben, Renee, Erica, and Orion, to our little musical family! We have a lot planned for this semester! Keep an eye out 👀
✨TODAY!!!✨ Auditions are happening today, tomo ✨TODAY!!!✨ Auditions are happening today, tomorrow, and Wednesday from 8-10 (link on FB) and to celebrate this wondrous occasion, we have one final #mysterykey ! . Watch out! This key is a master of both stage combat and Krav Maga (aka, they can take you down both safely and unsafely). . Need a few more hints? They’ve folded over 1,800 paper cranes, designed and built 4 board games from scratch, and compiled two ~spicy~ beatboxing clips to blow us away once again 🌶😍— oh yeah, and they’re SO excited to meet you all this week 🥳
What?!! You mean to tell us there’s only ✨one✨day left until auditions?? . This #mysterykey can’t WAIT to see all of your faces tomorrow thru Wednesday, 8-10pm. What they *can* wait to see is spiders, a source of deep fear, as well as crabs, which they confess to also being afraid of because “they sort of look similar” 🕷🦀 (we cannot deny this) . This key is also the only one who can also be seen sporting Hollister at ~all times~ because they accidentally signed up for a premium membership in high school and haven’t looked back since . Still stumped? Swipe to photo three to see photographic evidence of the fact that they always try to hit Exactly $20 when filling up at the gas station. . Song: The Most Beautiful Thing, Bruno Major (& bonus fact: those guitar skills are newly minted!👏)
It wouldn’t be✨two✨days until auditions with It wouldn’t be✨two✨days until auditions without another #mysterykey! . Dynamic in both sport and song, this key founded an HD Ultimate Frisbee league and has performed music in over 10 languages 🥏💥 . Still not sure? This #humbleflex might give you a clue: they side-hustle as a Chrome web developer👾 . Let us know if you guessed right in the comments, or see us tomorrow at 3pm for our first ever Audition Workshop— Details on FB!
Only ✨3✨days left until auditions and this tim Only ✨3✨days left until auditions and this time, our #MysteryKey features an ~original song~ !! . This mystery key is fluent in Yiddish, has over a dozen cousins, and is an expert in concocting vegan smoothie bowls... can you guess who❓ . Song: “Sacred Sound” will be dropping on Spotify this spring!
There are✨4✨ days left until auditions and we’ve got another Mystery Key for you! . This musical gem has more than just groovy guitar skills— they’ve designed their own crossword puzzle before (NYTimes who??) and have taken classes in over 12 different departments at Brown! . Still not certain? One final hint may help you out (or not): this junior‘s culinary knowledge rivals that of Gordon Ramsay, and earns them an 11/10 on *any* food-themed Buzzfeed quiz 🥘😉
