“I’m in an a cappella group called Psalm 100. Two years ago, we sang at Sunset Serenade. I sang a solo, and it was very bad. I totally lost my voice — it was so bad. I knew it was going to be bad. Right before, I decided to take a selfie with everyone in the crowd, and then I just sucked up the solo. And now, I have a memory of it.”
