Charlie Stephenson '25

Lexington, KY

TENOR I

Charlie travelled outside the United States for the first time with the ‘Winks. Most of the countries we visited would have him back. Others? Let’s just say MIKA felt threatened by his rendition of Grace Kelly.

Tavian Jones '26

McLean, VA

TENOR II

Tavian kinda resembles Bigfoot, if Bigfoot cleaned up nice, was pre-med and sang with the voice of an angel. Maybe siblings don’t always look alike…

Xari Carbins '26

Richton Park, IL

TENOR I

Xari’s Halloween costumes go hard. Last Halloween she dressed up as the house from Up. We haven’t seen her since.

Daniel Wu '26

Los Altos, CA

BASS

As the newest bass, Daniel loves the do-dos and bums of the group. He also sings the bass parts beautifully.

Elijah Lee '26

Villanova, PA

TENOR I

Elijah came into rehearsal last week and told us he’d invented three new numbers on his engineering exam. We’re not sure whether it went well or poorly.

Giri Viswanathan '25

Pittsburgh, PA

TENOR II

Giri is a very talented musician. He plays guitar, piano, kazoo, bass, bagpipes, the heart strings, himself, and he’s now just learning ukulele!

Paris Suksmith '25

Pakkret, Thailand

TENOR II

Paris is the capital and most populous city of France, with an estimated population of 2,165,423 residents in an area of more than 105 km² (41 sq mi), making it the 34th most densely populated city in the world.

Adam McPhail '25

Rochester, MN

BARITONE

On tour, Adam seeks out the surrealist art exhibition he read about in the New York Review of Books. Luckily, in rehearsal, he is an unwavering realist.

Tabatha Stewart '26

Healdsburg, CA

TENOR II

Tabatha is always telling us a story. That’s great and all, but it’d be helpful if she recapped the beginning; we still don’t know how it started.

Boris Beev '25

Sofia, Bulgaria

BARITONE

There is nothing funny about Boris.

Thomas Lowe '25

Washington D.C.

BASS

Thomas addresses his mom as “mother.” Now there’s nothing wrong with that, but you have to admit it’s a little strange.

Eduardo Pagliaro-Haque '24

Hamden, CT

BARITONE

Eduardo’s height is notable. Legend has it he was trying to audition for the basketball team but got lost and walked into Spizzwinks’ tryouts.

Liam Richardson '24+1

Pheonix, AZ

BASS

Liam is majoring in Statistics & Data Science, and is a Yale-paid writing tutor, and did art for our album, and held six jobs this summer. He’s got a lot of free time.

Emmett Solomon '23+1

New York, NY

BARITONE

Emmett is so smoking hot that he once set off a fire alarm. When the firefighters arrived, they were instantly smitten. They keep on sending him calendars.

Jake Latts '23+2

New York, NY

BARITONE

As the former Pitchpipe (our word for Musical Director), Jake’s done a lot of memorizing parts. He’s also memorized every song on Broadway. Any part. Any musical. Seriously. Try him.

Sebastian Li '24+1

Hangzhou, China

BASS

Sebastian is easily the most knowledgeable ‘Wink. Go ahead, ask him about any civilization and he can rattle off its history, at least if it was in EU4 or Civilization 6.

Adrian Venzon '23+1

Las Vegas, NV

Was a BASS

After the ‘Winks, Adrian was President of Kasama, Yale’s Filipino students organization, and he thought long and hard about whether to do more a cappella, but then he realized that if he joined the Whiffenpoofs, he could be Will’s section leader. His decision was made.

Likes: Animal Crossing, teaching, bidets.

Alex Lawson '23

Baltimore, MD

Was a TENOR II

After the ‘Winks, Alex decided our music wasn’t high enough, so he joined the all-senior Whim ‘n Rhythm. Now he sings alto, and he’s also the Business Manager. He’s also in MX. Ask him about it.

Likes: Sunglasses, nuts and sports, particularly the Baltimore Ravens and other losing teams.

Will Salaverry '22+2

Fairfax, CA

Was a BASS

After the ‘Winks, Will left to work with Disability Empowerment for Yale (DEFY). Then, he missed a cappella, and now he’s the Business Manager of the all-senior Whiffenpoofs. He also wants to be a teacher… poor kids.

Likes: English, Spanish, talking about the Bay Area.

Derek DeMel '21+1

Athens, OH

Was a TENOR II

After the ‘Winks, and the Whiffenpoofs, Derek stuck around to study Personalized Medicine and Applied Engineering at the Yale School of Engineering & Applied Science. We’re pretty sure he’s building a cyborg.

Likes: Catan, Ohio, cats (as pets) and chicken (as food).

John Paciga '22+1

Annandale, NJ

Was a TENOR I

After the ‘Winks, John was ready to start his professional music career, but there was one mountain still to climb: so he did. He was Pitchpipe of the Whiffenpoofs. He also studies psychology.

Likes: Keytars, pancakes, big hit songs.

Nikhil Harle '22+1

Bellingham, WA

Was a TENOR II

After the ‘Winks, Nikhil departed to become the President of Opera Theater of Yale College (OTYC). He also studies physics, and is a founding member Yale Undergraduate Quantum Computing (YuQC)… for some reason.

Likes: Forging his own path, walks and Professor Emeritus Richard Lalli.

Tavi Wolfwood '21+1

Amherst, MA

Was a TENOR I

After the ‘Winks, Tavi looked at the real world, and decided he’d much rather be Business Manager of the Whiffenpoofs. Now he’s done that, he’s a Global Health Scholar at the Yale Jackson School for Global Affairs and the Yale School of Public Health.

Likes: Credentials.

Sebastian Roizner-Rodriguez '22+1

Peabody, MA

Was a BARITONE

After the ‘Winks, Sebastian joined the Whiffenpoofs. Then, he joined the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. He probably maybe possibly reviewed your application.

Likes: Philosophy, dancing, the philosophy of dancing.

Brendan Rose '21+1

Los Angeles, CA

Was a BARITONE

After the ‘Winks, Brenden stuck around to do research in RNA and gene expression at the Yale School of Medicine, or so he says…

Likes: Chess, dogs, facial hair both because of and despite the feedback of others.
