This was produced by Kevin whose parents are Nigerian. So it has an African chant in it. Check out... Kevin's 5th produced & directed by KO. Matt ( bass) playing drums during the production.😊
Great reaction!
How they came together: The Trio ( Scott...blond guy, Mitch...guy with the high-pitched voice and Kirstie) knew each other when pre-teens ,separately. They were all into singing at that age and were taking lessons and getting into musical theatre. They met up a couple of years later and joined together in high school in Arlington, Texas, where they formed an group called The Trio. Two of them went off to college where Scott found Ben Bram ( who is still their arranger today). Ben was working for a show called The Sing Off, a competition show for acapella groups. He convinced Scott to enter with Mitch and Kirstie, but they needed 5 people minimum in the group to enter. Ben knew of Avi from being in singing groups with him, so Avi was convinced to join...at least for the competition...but they still needed a beatboxer. Frustrated with not being able to find one, they checked out CZcams and found Kevin playing his cello and beatboxing simultaneously They messaged him and invited him, but Kevin was busy with writing his finals for Pre-Med at Yale. Two weeks later, kevin graduated and contacted Scott and flew out to join them. They've been together ever since...oh...and won Season 3 of The Sing Off.
Edited in portion:
All of them are Christians, with the exception of Avi, who is Jewish. Kevin is 7th Day Adventist and very religious...in fact, the group does not work on Saturdays or Friday nights, owing to Kevin's religious convictions. Matt ( the new bass) is also from a very religious family. The others are somewhat religious. BUT...they behave to each other as family. They've been together for 12 years now so have learned how to listen to each other and respect and love each other. That goes for their arranging music and songwriting together.
They've built their fan base partly on Christmas music ( which they own with some 8 Christmas albums) and on their care in song choices, arrangements and obvious love for each other, despite differences.
This particular song was arranged this way to honour Kevin's hertitage of a Nigerian father and a mother from the Caribbean. The beat and cadence are very much Caribbean.
Welcome to a most rare and wonderful group of people that we listeners/fans are constantly surprised by.
They just have tended to be wholesome. But if you want to see their naughty side, check out Scott and Mitch's side project, Super Fruit.
Pentatonix are the GOATS of Christmas music, this and Hallelujah are on Christmas albums (possibly the same one>??) I believe they have 10 Christmas albums!
On Kevin’s fifth video Scott talks a bit about how they come together if you wanted to know the story that way. Plus it showcases how amazing and special Kevin is. Great reaction and love to see you enjoying going down the rabbit hole 😊
Great suggestion
🌟😃 Scott, Kirstin and Mitch grew up together in Arlington TEXAS.
They grew up doing Kids Musical Theater. Scott and Mitch met at age 10 doing the play Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Kirstie and Mitch had known each other possibly through musical theater as well from around age 8 or 9 and went to junior high together.
The 3 of them ended up in High school together and that's when Scott met Kirstie in their freshman year (English class as they recall) .
They instantly became besties.
Throughout Highschool they were in choir and musical theater (lots of early footage here on YT).
Upon graduating Scott moved to Southern California to attend USC and immediately became part of the famous So Cal Vocals choir group.
Kirstie moved to Oklahoma for college.
Mitch was on his last year of highschool.
At USC Scott was spotted by Ben Bram. A USC alum who now worked on the televised singing competition The Sing Off. He was hired as a scout and arranger for the show.
Ben had recognized Scott from a video with Kirstie and Mitch (they were known as The Trio) where they sang Telephone by Lady Gaga at their High school choir concert.
Ben encouraged Scott to contact his friends and audition for the show.
Ben also recommended they get a bass and a beatboxer to make their sound fuller.
Scott was introduced to Avi who was a music/opera major and an AMAZING bass singer.
Scott was also shown a viral video of Kevin cello-boxing (beatboxing while playing the cello). Scott REALLY wanted him in the group.
At the time Kevin was at YALE finishing his pre-med. YES! Kevin was studying to be a doctor!!!
Between Scott and Ben they flew Kevin to California to be part of the groups audition for the show.
The 5 members finally met as a group the day BEFORE the audition.
Scott chose the name PENTATONIX for the pentatonic 5 part melody scale.
Eventually they WON that 3rd season of The Sing Off in 2011.
Now they are GLOBAL SENSATIONS!!
Recommend their original, Happy Now.
Pentatonix a "brief" background.
They won The Sing Off in 2011. They made a guest starring appearance on America′s Got Talent as non−competitors a couple of years after that.
The founding members are:-
Scott Hoying (tall blond guy, natural baritone but has an impressive five−to−six octave range, can go all the way up to high tenor and down to bass, sings the bass lines when the usual bass singer takes the lead);
Kirstin "Kirstie" (Rhymes with "Thirsty") Maldonado (the only female member, natural mezzo soprano, but can go down to low alto and as high as upper soprano, also can sing in whistle notes that are off the scale); For a time in 2018 between the group’s tours, had the female lead on Broadway in the production of “Kinky Boots”.
Mitch Grassi (a true contra−tenor, can hit high notes in his chest voice with ease and go WAY higher in his falsetto, also with ease);
Avriel "Avi" Kaplan (dark beard and long hair), true basso profundo, trained as an opera singer, also can go up into the tenor range; and
Kevin "KO" Olusola (beatboxer extraordinaire, also is a world−class cellist who plays cello on some of their songs, has a beautiful high tenor voice and gets occasional lead vocal solos as well, graduated pre−med from Yale and speaks several languages including Mandarin Chinese).
Kirstie, Scott & Mitch grew up together in Arlington, Texas, and began performing together as children in local youth musical theater. They ended up in high school together and performed in the choir. While there, they formed an a cappella group called The Trio which had several performance videos go viral on CZcams, most notably a cover of Lady Gaga′s "Telephone". The three of them are best friends and consider themselves to be almost siblings.
Scott & Kirstie (who were a class year ahead of Mitch) both graduated high school in 2010 and went their separate ways to different colleges, Scott at USC and Kirstie at Oklahoma.
While at USC, Scott joined a USC−based a cappella group called the SoCal VoCals, where he met alumnus Ben Bram, who was now an arranger and vocal coach for the NBC TV show The Sing Off, an a cappella competition show. Ben convinced Scott to get The Trio to audition for the show. The three reunited (Mitch had to skip high school graduation ceremonies to go) in Los Angeles for the audition.
They found out that the rules had changed, so they needed at least five members to audition. Ben put them together with Avi (a native of Visalia, California), who he knew from Avi′s performing days at Mount San Antonio College in California. They found Kevin (from Kentucky) through one of his CZcams videos that had gone viral featuring him playing the cello and beatboxing at the same time, a talent that Kevin coined as "Cello−Boxing".
Kevin arrived in Los Angeles literally the day before the audition! Scott came up with the name "Pentatonix" after the pentatonic scale. They performed a re−arrangement of "The Telephone" for the audition and passed, despite having been together as a five−piece group for less that 24 hours!
They won The Sing Off that season (all of the performances are available on CZcams), in which they received a substantial cash prize AND a record contract with Epic Records. They pooled their prize winnings together and all moved to Los Angeles, and all got apartments right next door to each other in the same building.
But just a week later, Epic dropped them because the marketing people didn′t think an a cappella group could sell records.
Instead of giving up, they were determined and began recording their own songs on CZcams, hiring Ben Bram as their producer and arranger. These usually consisted of the five of them sitting on a couch and performing cover songs live.
Several of the videos went viral, and Sony (the parent company of Epic) decided to give them another chance by placing them on one of their smaller labels, Madison Gate. They released two secular EPs and one Christmas EP on Madison Gate, all of which were strong sellers.
But when their cover of a medley of songs by Daft Punk not only went super−viral, but also won them their first Grammy, they were promoted all the way up to RCA Records, Sony′s top label.
They began writing and producing their own songs in addition to their covers, began putting out a Christmas album just about annually (which has become their best−selling genre), and have had multi−platinum album sales, sold−out world tours, and have won two additional Grammys.
Avi began getting burned out with all of the touring and heavy recording schedule, was suffering from anxiety and personal problems, and learned that his mother had been diagnosed with cancer in 2017. He announced he was departing from the group and taking some time away from the music industry.
Matt Sallee (from Baltimore) joined them in September 2017. He did only become official when they renewed their RCA contract in February 2018, but he recorded with them in September as a featured artist and went on their Christmas tour as a featured artist, as well. When he attended the audition for the group, he had already mastered the Bass part for most if not all their past catalogue. He was successful and has proved that he fits in well with the group.
If you think there have been other changes to the line up - look again. This is the ONLY change. Kirstie and Mitch are like chameleons and change looks frequently.
It is an often debated subject among the Pentaholics as to just how soon we introduce the "Beginners Guide" as we don't want to overdo the introduction. This is a compilation of snips of a whole load of songs which PTX have released. It highlights each member with some of their solos and then a brief history in video. It is quite long - 14+ minutes and is a little dated now (Feb 2020) but is a good watch czcams.com/video/lDxIfwfCmQE/video.html&pp=ygUdYmVnaW5uZXJzIGd1aWRlIHRvIHBlbnRhdG9uaXg%3D.
After a year away from music, Avi has now returned as a phenomenal solo artist in the Folk/Americana/Roots genre.
Ben Bram has been in charge of their production, including arranging and directing from the beginning. He is often referred to as the sixth member. Scott and Kevin are major players in the arrangements, but every member contributes. A good watch is "The Recording of Evergreen" where a camera was invited into the studio for the second week of recording/
Also, all members are songwriters for both Pentatonix and their own solo work.
Ed Boyer who mixes everything of theirs (even the HWB Livestream) is the one who pulled Ben Bram into the sing off in the first place.
They have Grammy wins for Daft Punk Medley, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, and Jolene featuring Dolly Parton. They were nominated for a 4th Grammy for their album Evergreen, but didn't win. Another nomination for Holidays Around the World album in the 2024 list!
Kirstie became a new mum which caused a pause in touring after their Evergreen Christmas tour 2021. Mid March 2023 Kirstie has announced that she is engaged to Ben Hausdorff, their videographer. No dates YET!
They have a star on the Hollywood walk of fame installed in February 2023. They are the only a capella group with a star!
They came 3rd in the 2023 Masked Singer performing as "California Rolls" being unmasked in May 23.
Things you need to know because if you get these wrong Pentaholics will come after you with pitch forks and torches! Ha Ha!!
1- There is NO Auto-Tune; what you hear is actually what they sing. They really are that good. One exception is the 90's Dance Medley where Cher used autotune as an effect - so they had to.
2- What produces everything that you hear in the video, you see in the official video. If there is an instrument used in the music, you see it on screen. In the 2022 Christmas album, there are some instruments not featured throughout the album.
3- They never release something on video they can’t reproduce with the exact same quality live on-stage.
4. It is "Pentatonix" there is no "The".
I think God sent down10 angel voices, gave 5 to Pentatonix and 5 to HomeFree. they both sing so beautifully. One from one group will join the other for a song, like HomeFree's ring of fire has Avi in it, but I would love to see all ten of them come together and do some kind of collaboration.
Who knew you could turn a traditional Christmas carol into such a bop? Apparently Pentatonix did!
They sing all types of music and actually sound better live that they do on their videos. check out Mile reuben's channel to see most of their Hollywood Bowl concert from 2022/ It's fantastic. Tehy are evry bit as nice as they are wonderful singers. One of their fans has a channel that she reports on what they aey are doing each month. This year they will perform at the Grammys and Kirstie will get married to their videographer, Ben. I am not sure about their tour dates yet.
Daft Punk
When you do "Daft Punk" set yourself up for a double. czcams.com/video/3MteSlpxCpo/video.html&pp=ygUUZGFmdCBwdW5rIHBlbnRhdG9uaXg%3D You will think that there is post production skipping, so to disprove that you need to catch the "Private Performance" czcams.com/video/tw4YCsHXKgI/video.html&pp=ygUUZGFmdCBwdW5rIHBlbnRhdG9uaXg%3D where they stand at the front of a back-stage room and sing with no mic's and captured on a fan mobile device
Hey man. I liked your reaction to PTX. As a long-time 'Pentaholic' myself (the name given to those of us that can't get enough of them), I request you to react to the 'Beginner's Guide to Pentatonix' video.
It'll answer many of the questions about them that you've been asking about.. like how the group formed, their history, some clips of some of their classic music videos, the famous artists they've performed with, the 3 Grammys they've won, and much more.. Please react to the 'Beginner's Guide to Pentatonix' video soon! You won't regret it..😊❤
So glad that you are enjoying your PTX experience. You asked if they were primarily geared towards a religious vibe. The answer is no. But when they do take on that vibe, they knock it out the park like any other jonre of the songs that they choose to cover. In order to get a totally different perspective of them in a totally different vibe and jonre, I suggest that you check out their cover of 'Can't Hold Us' by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. They were a few years younger when they covered that one. But it's a banger and definitely highlights their diversity of talent. Peace, and welcome to PTX. ❤
This is the way this song should be done, with unbridled joy!
Thank you for reacting to this awesome Pentatonix video. They are amazing.
More please!!!
When they did the Sing Off and had just gotten together, Kevin, who comes from a very devout background, had issues with the explicit lyrics on some of the songs they were given. They, all, in respect to his beliefs, changed them. In turn. Kevin respects their beliefs and lifestyles. Judge not. lest ye be judged, in action!
Scott mitch kirstin was friends in college, and then Kevin and Matt joined. Can you react to pentatonix? Imagine. Shallow. Perfect . Sing. La la latch. Havana. Gold. New rules. Cheer leader. Rather be. Pompeii.
