Pentatonix, a name that is a play on the pentatonic scale, is an acapella group who started in 2011 with Kirstin Maldonado (Alto), Mitch Grassi (Tenor), Scott Hoying (Baritone), Avi Kaplan (Bass), and Kevin Olusola (Vocal Percussion). Kevin has also been known to play to the cello in many of their songs. The group mostly does acapella cover of songs but have made a few originals. One being “Can’t Sleep Love” that was very popular. There most popular cover video is Daft Punk which is a collection of songs from the group… you’ll never guess. Daft Punk. The music video is so freaking awesome like it just really takes me back even though the blue contacts always freaking scared me.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pentatonix was such a huge part of acapella music becoming mainstream. They have made covers of so many popular songs with nothing but the sounds of their voices, and almost every year they come out with a Christmas album because Christmas is their thing. I’m 92% sure that they are a Christian group, but they’re so amazing and two of them are homosexual (Scott and Mitch), so the group is talented and inclusive! Both Scott and Mitch made the song Guy.exe in a duo group called Superfruit in 2017. They both planned to branch off and do solo things but just decided to do it together. The last music video was posted 7 years ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Superfruit
they just want a guy who’s 6 feet tall and super strong<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The group continued to grow in popularity but in 2017 also, Avi Kaplan left Pentatonix. It was said that he wanted to spend more time with his family instead of touring around. The group continued to be friends with Avi, but he was replaced by Matt Sallee just a few months after, I think. It didn’t take very long is the point, which is good because they need a freaking bass. It pulls it all together.\u00a0<\/p>\n

2024, I think???<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The group continues to go on tours and has been going strong since 2017. And also, they take awesome pictures like this, and their outfits are always so unique, and I think that’s awesome. Pentatonix has been one of my favorite groups for years and though I’m not as into them as I was, I still love their music, covers or original, they really do have some crazy talents. I know a group like this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but Pentatonix did have a really big effect on music back in the day, pop and Christmas music mostly, and I think that’s important to acknowledge.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
