LOS ANGELES, CA (May 1, 2015) -- Lifetime greenlights the new docuseries Sing It! (working title) following two cross-town rival a cappella groups from New Jersey as they are given a chance to work with the world's best coaches and face off in weekly competitions. Vocal powerhouse Deke Sharon (Pitch Perfect) will stop at nothing to get his team, Stay Tuned from Cherry Hill, to come out of their shells and get them in-tune while a capella rockstar and performance coach Diana Preisler (Blue Jupiter) will guide The Voices from Allendale, to harmonize their way to a win.

Preisler has toured the world as the manager, artistic director and lead female singer of successful a cappella group, and international vocal sensation Blue Jupiter, and has been featured on Nickelodeon, the Huffington Post and Oprah. She can often be found sitting on panels of experts and judges for prestigious a cappella competitions around the country.
