The six-man, all-vocal group, InsideOut, is rapidly establishing a reputation for exceptional entertainment. With their musical capability, surprising vocal percussion, and captivating performances, InsideOut has entertained both small and large audiences across the West.
Before becoming a part of InsideOut, each member of the group was involved in performing in other vocal groups, such as the well-known BYU Men's Chorus. The group had its beginning in the winter of 1997. Two brothers, Ben and Layne Haacke, pulled in Kimball Brown, a home town friend, Ryan Hinton, a "real" bass, and some other local singers to form InsideOut. It started as a hobby, and they performed for friends and the local a cappella club. A couple of members left the group at the end of the school semester, so InsideOut recruited the last two members of the current group to replace them. Paul Hatch was brought on as a high tenor, and Jason Smith filled in with his exceptional vocal percussion.
The group begun to improve and was invited to perform around the BYU campus. As word got out they begun to perform more and more, and they never looked back. InsideOut has performed at universities, community events, and other venues, including local network television stations and making an appearance on a national cable television. When touring, they love to perform one of their songs, "McDonald's Girl," at every McDonald's they find.
When not practicing, InsideOut members are pursuing college degrees and working professionally. Their interests include languages, computer science, art, English, computer engineering, public relations, graphic design, and illustration. Members of InsideOut are also involved in student government university clubs, community service organizations, and comedy groups.
