Micah grew up performing in church choir and, later, musical theater in high school. She planned to pursue music education in college, but following her parents' divorce, she stayed home to attend community college. After her dog's death, Micah changed career paths and decided to go into veterinary medicine. In college, she became involved in a cappella and even performed in the governor's inaugural ball and the collegiate a cappella finals in Times Square with only 10 groups in the world. She is putting her graduate program at University of Illinois on hold to give music one last shot.
