Pentatonix began with three friends that grew up together: Kirstie, Mitch and Scott.
They started
uploading videos on You Tube, where they became known.
Scott and
Kirstie graduated from Martin High School in 2010, Scott went off to the University
of Southern California to pursue a degree in Popular Music,
while Kirstie pursued a Musical Theatre major at The University of
Oklahoma. Mitch was still in his last year of high school.
By this
time, Scott met Avi, a highly recognized vocal bass and he joined the
group, after that, the trio found Kevin on YouTube, as one of his videos, where
he was beatboxing.
Pentatonix
met as a group for the first time the day before the first audition for the
reality show The Sing-Off. Mitch didn’t attend their graduation ceremony High
School to arrive in time for the hearing. They successfully passed auditions
for the program and thanks to excellent performances they won the competition.
After that,
all of them left their careers and moved to Los Angeles.In January 2012, Pentatonix began publishing versions of popular and classic songs in his YouTube channel, they also recorded their first album, which sold over 20,000 copies the first week since launch.
They have appeared in many television programs and they have collaborated with many charitable causes.
I have talked
about Pentatonix because when I listened them for the first time, I was
impressed by what they can do only with their voices, without an instrument.
I think
they sing very good and I enjoy listening their music and watching their videos
on You Tube.
