Jaspreet Bains is a Grand Rapids transplant. Originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, he fell in love with choral music when it was first introduced to him at Baton Rouge Magnet High School. This joy allowed him to sing in various church, community, and professional choirs as a tenor in cities across the country including Baton Rouge, LA, Dallas, TX, and Phoenix, AZ.  In Baton Rouge, he helped create Cantus Voce, an octet comprised of LSU students, performing choral music across campus. While in Texas, Jaspreet sang with and served on the Board of the Orpheus Chamber Singers, a premier professional choir comprised of singers from the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Upon relocating to Phoenix, he continued to perform with many community and professional choirs. This wonderful long exposure to choral music has allowed him to perform works of music ranging from early period music to contemporary choral works from today’s greatest composers.    ​ Jaspreet is an Electrical Engineer with L3Harris where he has worked since 2006 working in the aviation field. He obtained a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Louisiana State University. Additionally, he received a Master of Science in Management at Texas A&M, Commerce. He has worked with various organizations in both music and youth engagement since entering the professional field. Jaspreet is excited to carry on his love for music in helping to create and establish Vox GR as the premier choral ensemble in Grand Rapids.  EDUCATION Bachelor of Science, Electrical Engineering, Louisiana State University Master of Science, Management, Texas A&M Commerce ​ CONTACT jaspreet@voxgr.com
