Nea Tatupu: SOCIAL DIRECTOR
Motto: "Your path is illuminated by the light, yet darkness lets the star shine bright" -- J.L.W. Brooks Coming to the Peninsula Singers from the rural little town of Plainville, Massachusetts, Linnea (Nea) Tatupu brings her own uniqueness to our choir. Born in an athletic family, Nea's parents encouraged her brother and herself to pursue many outlets of self-expression which included art, theatre, and music. Nea credits the music of Huey Lewis and the News for planting the seed of what would become one of the most constant things in her life. After graduating in 1999 from King Philip Regional High School, Nea set her sights on pursuing her love for music and moved to San Diego, CA. Nea enrolled and graduated from Grossmont College receiving her AA in Music. Nea was trained in Classical guitar by Fred Benedetti, Jazz by Derek Cannon, and Afro-Cuban music by Derek Cannon and Manny Cepeda. When not singing, Nea can be found on the water around San Diego Bay. Nea is a competitive paddler. She belongs to the San Diego Dragonboat Team and San Diego Outrigger Canoe Club. Funny enough, it was one of her former coworkers' who introduced her to the San Diego Dragonboat Team. The same person encouraged her to join the Peninsula Singers after inviting Nea to a concert. Nea has been with the Peninsula Singers for one year. |
