Ian Anthony born and raised in Pikesville, returns to the area after an 8-year stint in NYC. Four years of college and four years as an actor were enough, thank you, and thus he finds himself surrounded by the fabulous LS-ers. Areas of legal interest include International Human Rights and Environmental Law. Areas of non-legal interest include astronomy, travel, and not eating animals. Previous music experience includes: Baltimore Symphony Choir, Tanglewood Institute, Clefhangers (Columbia University), and various musical productions. Shout out to all the other LS-ers. Thanks for a great distraction from reading! Proud member of Actors' Equity. |

Greg Cooke has been involved with the stage since high school, but if you
ask his parents he's been hamming it up since he left the womb. He
started doing musicals and straight plays in high school and joined
the Saint Johns Mens Chorus in college (in addition to a couple
plays). He graduated from St. Johns in 2009 with a degree in liberal
studies, and took the natural leap to law school. He's lived in
Maryland his entire life (except for a brief stopover in Minnesota),
and is a 3L at Maryland Law.

Elise Henry has enjoyed singing in choirs her whole life and is excited to be singing with Legally Sound. She is originally from Miami, FL, and graduated from the University of Miami with a degree in Judaic studies. Before completing her degree, she lived in Tel Aviv, Israeli, for four years. She studied musicology at Tel Aviv University, where she took courses in harmony and composition. She hopes to find the time to arrange songs for the group, perhaps after her 1L year is over. While studying law is lots of fun for Elise, practicing and performing with Legally Sound adds a good measure of joy to her law school experience. |

Originally from Alabama, Rebecca Maddox is a second year law student who came to Maryland after graduating from Vanderbilt University. Rebecca's singing story began when a choir director told her at a young age that she had perfect pitch. Years of choirs and voice lessons ensued from there. She had an amazing time singing in an acapella group in high school, Lillith, and she is loving singing in an acapella group again! Besides singing and having fun with Legally Sound, Rebecca is most interested in environmental law, public interest law, and reproductive justice, and in her free time, she plays with her dog Carmen, experiments with cooking new dishes, and dabbles with dancing. |

Hailing from the Philadelphia area, Jonathan Nagel came straight to
law school from Ursinus College. After studying International
Relations and Politics and spending as much time abroad as he could,
he joined his first a cappella group here at UMB. His musical history
entails a slew of choral programs (schools, churches, regional, state,
American Music Abroad, and more), classical training, opera, chamber,
and the occasional dabbling in guitar and piano. Jonathan also has a
small passion for languages, and a much larger passion for food. He's
looking at getting into International Law. |

Eshawn Rawlley is a member of the Class of 2014. He graduated from The George Washington University in Washington, DC where he performed with GW Geet, a South Asian fusion a cappela group. His modest vocal talent was discovered when, after opting for spotlight duty in the middle school musical, he was persuaded by his drama teacher to accept a leading role in the show. He has since been ablaze with the fiery hot passion of music-making. In addition to singing, Eshawn is an avid guitarist with designs to eventually start a rock & roll band and tour all over the world, or the greater metropolitan area. For now, he is content with pursuing a law degree while keepin' it loose & tight with Legally Sound. |
