Deewane
Deewane is Carnegie Mellon University’s premier South Asian all-male a cappella group. They are known on campus for their unique ability to blend music from all ends of the spectrum - East and West. With their name being Hindi for “madly in love”, the group was founded in the fall semester of 2007 by a group of Carnegie Mellon students who were passionate about music. The group’s first performance was at Carnegie Mellon’s Diwali Show in October 2007.

The Originals
The CMU Originals began in January 1996 when Ken Flagg, an industrious CMU student, displeased by the lack of a cappella on campus and his sleeping bagger, Jared Moskowitz, made a pact to start an a cappella group upon the later's entry to Carnegie Mellon. Inspired by a local hot dog joint, the group's musicality, and the disposition of its members, the group was appropriately named The Originals.

Soundbytes
Soundbytes is a co-ed a cappella group from Carnegie Mellon University. They sing here, they sing there; all over. You can find them at concerts and events around campus, or if you so wish, on your computer, they nestle in your music library between Sigur Rós and Steely Dan (alphebetically, of course).
