Jade Perry
Our powerhouse lead soprano has been singing since she was just a little girl. Jade grew up singing in church with her family of singers, and continued to sing in school choirs throughout her entire academic career. Although she describes herself as primarily being a jazz singer, she loves all styles!
When she’s not giving us goosebumps with her effortless vocal runs, Jade can be found catching Friends reruns, listening to Hamilton, or planning a killer party. We can’t wait to share more of Jade’s talent with you!

Joette Dunnihoo
After graduating from Central Washington University with a Bachelor of Music, Joette marched into the real world in 2015 and became a choir and drama teacher within the Auburn School District (go Spartans!). With her extensive musical background (violin, guitar, piano, to name a few), it is no wonder she continued to pursue music as her profession. She notes that her students continue to be her greatest inspiration, and they motivate her to show up and do right.
Joette’s skills in the classroom are just part of what make her a valuable asset to the Outpour team. An energetic and skilled soprano, we can always count on Joette for a positive attitude and fresh perspective.

Rachel Border
In 5th grade, Rachel joined her school choir and never looked back. Since 2001, Rachel has consistently sought out ways to keep music part of her life. Although she never formally studied music, she has been part of a variety of singing ensembles including show choir, traditional chamber choirs, women’s choirs, and contemporary a cappella groups.
Currently working in the Kent School District as a school psychologist, Rachel is an advocate of the arts in public schools and emphasizes the positive impact that extracurriculars have on youth. On the weekends, our resident cat whisperer can be found chilling in her hammock and avoiding karaoke at all costs.

Matt Mayrhofer
Matt’s musical journey began with the humble trombone. Throughout his academic years he played in jazz, marching, and concert band settings. In his first year at Central Washington University he decided to join the new a cappella group on campus, and eventually expanded his participation to many different vocal ensembles. Since becoming a part of the a cappella community Matt says he has only grown more appreciation for the genre and for people who share their passion through music.
A vocalist, beatboxer, and arranger, Matt is always one to bring the creative vision to the table. That, and the best bowl of home-made salsa you’ve never had.

Isaiah Ragland
Though his most prominent musical background is in traditional choral singing, Isaiah has been singing contemporary a cappella for 10 years. After attending several enriching choir programs within the Bethel School District, Isaiah went off to study music at Central Washington University where he participated in various ensembles and co-founded CWU’s first ever a cappella group.
When he’s not behind the mic, and you might find Isaiah rollerblading the streets of Tacoma, yo-yo in hand. Isaiah says that these activities act as a type of meditation for him, and gives him an opportunity to take a break from the stresses of life and focus on one thing. “The reward of learning a new trick or element feels amazing, and developing comfort in handling the chaos is therapeutic.”
