Business Casual is an American a cappella group of five vocalists based in San Francisco, California. Group membership consists of Roshun Alur, Leslie Baker, Cassie Chamoun, Jacob Chamoun, and Michael Wang. The group arranges and performs covers of popular songs across many genres including pop, jazz, and funk, as well as original compositions. Since their founding in 2012, Business Casual has won awards in several national and international a cappella competitions and has released both an EP and a full-length studio album.
Background[edit]
Business Casual was founded in the San Francisco bay area by Danny Olefsky and Bakari Holmes with original members Cassie Chamoun, Tina Query, and Ryan Cook. Previous group membership also includes Emily Ross and Danny Cavero.[1] The current membership of Business Casual was completed in 2016 when Roshun Alur and Leslie Baker joined as the group's tenor and soprano respectively. In 2017, group members Cassie Chamoun (formerly Greene) and Jacob Chamoun were married. The group takes inspiration for their name in part from their professional nature, being composed of employees of major Silicon Valley companies.
