Peter Jackson

Baritone | Psychology, '11 | Costa Mesa, CA

Peter is a fourth year Psychology major at UCLA.  Born and raised in Costa Mesa, CA, he has been a singer all his life.  Whether it be at his piano, performing in a high school musical, or bringing down the house with a Cher power ballad at a dingy karaoke bar downtown, Peaches has never had a difficult time making his voice heard. While he has been heavily involved in research, student leadership, and community service, Bruin Harmony will remain the highlight of his undergraduate experience. PJ will never forget his BH brotherhood, the Bruin Woods retreat, the endless shenanigans, or the hard work and dedication of a group of hot and talented young men committed to making good music.

Ryan Chapin

Tenor 2 | College and Political Science, '12 | San Diego, CA

Ryan Chapin is a fourth year double major in College and Polictical Science. He is infamous for being a fratstar, who claims he is almost as good at singing as he is at fratting. Sig Chi, so chill, bro.

Alex Vergel

Baritone | Theater, '14 | Tokyo, Japan

Alex Vergel is a second year theater major at UCLA. He hails from the small town of Tokyo, Japan, and while he argues that he likes Japanese food better than American food (whatever that is), his slow but consistent weight gain suggests otherwise. Outside of Bruin Harmony, he is a member of Zeta Beta Tau fraternity, works as a campus tour guide, and is a counselor a UCLA's alumni family camp, Bruin Woods. He is excited to be back and knows he will have an awesome year with the group.

Ross Gordon

Tenor 2 | Environmental Science, '14 | Santa Monica, CA 

Ross Gordon is a second year environmental science major. Born and raised in Santa Monica, California, Ross has found that Bruin Harmony has filled the role of his distant family 5 miles west of UCLA. Ross' mom once taught him, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." He's usually quite good at that, although sometimes with the guys, he says it's just too easy to slip. Despite his many facial expressions and remarks, Ross loves a cappella, Bruin Harmony, and his new life as a Bruin. The group has created a place for Ross at UCLA, and there is really nothing better than this fun group of guys.

Brandon Bakhshi

Tenor 2 | Undeclared, '14 | Calabasas, CA

Brandon Bakhshi is a second year student from Calabasas, California, and is still exploring the many opportunities that UCLA offers. Having been a part of his high school a cappella group, Unstrumental, at Calabasas High School, Brandon knew he wanted a cappella to be a part of his life right when he got to UCLA and that Bruin Harmony would be the perfect fit for him! He is grateful to be a part of this talented and charismatic group of guys, and is looking forward to singing and spending time with them in the near future.

Jeff Fichtner

Tenor 1 | Vocal Performance, '14 | Newport Beach, CA

Jackson McNeil

Baritone/Vocal Percussion | UCLA Law School, '14 | Redding, CA

Jackson McNeill, a spry, first year law student, is absolutely thrilled to be part of Bruin Harmony… again! Yes, before coming to law school (and long before Café 1919, the peace-sign guy, and all this Dyson Airblade HOO-HA), Jackson was a proud baritone in Bruin Harmony. While an undergraduate, Jackson also enjoyed performing in Spring Sing Company, hanging out with the brothers of Phi Kappa Psi (RIP), and working summers at UCLA Bruin Woods. Now, when not deciphering legal Latin terms (which he’s convinced are merely Harry Potter spells), Jackson fills the big musical hole in his heart performing with B-Harm. Indeed, Jackson is eminently honored to sing with such a talented group, and excited to see what the future brings.

Moonsoo Jo

Vocal Percussion/Bass | Mechanical Engineering, '15 | Irvine, CA 

Moonsoo was born in Daegu, South Korea. He played piano for a year until he moved to Irvine, where he continued developing his musical abilities through clarinet. Throughout his younger years, he played in classical and jazz orchestras but also developed interests in many different genres, starting with Hip Hop to Trance, Jazz, etc. He started beatboxing by mixing his varied musical background with his friends’ beatboxing interests. Although he started the activity just for kicks, he has been more serious about it in his recent years, under the alias "Beat Rhino". In order to broaden both his musical and beatboxing perspectives, Moonsoo joined Bruin Harmony in Fall, ’11. He enjoys the rehearsals and performances, and the brotherhood keeps him going, even when studying becomes a tad difficult. His future goal is to win the American Beatboxing Championship and stay true to Bruin Harmony’s crazy personality and perfection of music.

Jon Zhao

Baritone | MCDB, '15 | Irvine, CA

Jonathan Zhao is a first year Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology major. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, he moved to California at the delicate age of one. Jon is thrilled to be a Bruin and even more thrilled to be a part of Bruin Harmony! After a mere two months, the guys have inspired him through their endless energy and have opened his eyes to musical possibilities and life philosophies he hadn’t known existed. This group has thus far defined Jon’s time at UCLA—he has loved every moment of it so far, and anticipates even more unforgettable times in the future.

Adam Cropper

Tenor 2 | Theater, '15 | Woodside, CA

Adam is thrilled to be a part of Bruin Harmony his first year at UCLA. He grew up playing piano but recently quit his 3-day streak of learning guitar. Bruin Harmony has taken a rightful place as his immediate family, just surpassing his blood relatives. He enjoys sports and is a theater major, both of which he picked up at a young age. Although he has a deeply rooted experience in shower singing medleys of The Biebs (Bieber), Adam looks forward to melting some hearts publicly. He wants to thank his fellow Bruin Harmony brothers for giving him the opportunity to sing with them. Much Love.
