Note-oriety is James Madison University's premier award winning upper voices a cappella group, founded in 1998 by Kelly Myer-Femenella & Bonnie Estes. You can find Note-oriety performing all around the JMU campus and at various events up and down the east coast. We are a sisterhood bound by a love for music and lifelong friendship.
Note-oriety is a nationally recognized group, consistently ranked as one of the top upper voices a cappella groups in the country. We have been recognized and praised by many prominent figures in the music industry, including Lake Street Dive, Kelly Clarkson, TLC, and Nicki Minaj. College Magazine named us one of "The 10 Female Groups Running the A Cappella World" in February of 2018. We have also been recognized with several prestigious awards. In 2019, we competed in the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella and placed 3rd in the region. We also earned a 2016 CARA win for "Best Female Collegiate Song" for "Bang Bang" off of our self-titled album "Note-oriety" (2015). The song was also chosen as one of the Recorded A Cappella Review Board's Song of the Year, while "Note-oriety" was named their 2016 Album of the Year.
Our most recent album, titled "Note to Self" was released in July of 2020. The album was produced by James Gammon Productions. "Note to Self" is now available on Apple Music and Spotify.
Note-oriety holds auditions every semester and we are always looking for fresh new voices to add to our sound. If you have any questions about auditions, feel free to send us a message on our contact page!
Pink & Blessings,
Note-oriety
