​

BisCaydence is an award-winning a cappella group from the University of Miami in Coral Gables, FL. The group, which was established in 2011, features some of UM's top vocal talent and embodies the spirit of harmonic cohesiveness and school pride through music made using only a collection of human voices. We take pride in the work we do and in each other, hoping to share our passion for music with the world.

​

Most recently, the group competed in ICCA, an international competition featuring over 450 collegiate a cappella groups. In 2024 they were the South Semifinal Champions and advanced to finals! In 2019 they placed second in the competition. They went on to record their competition set and release their first EP, "Blue Horizon", which was featured on the "Best of Collegiate A Cappella 2019" compilation album and nominated for three Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards.
