Vocal sensations and winners of season 3 of NBC’s The Sing-Off, PENTATONIX, are back after winning Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella for “Daft Punk” at the 57th Grammy Awards. The band sold out three nights at the Marina Bay Sands theatre in 2014 and this time we are ready for Penta-Mania to strike again! Pentatonix is also set to appear in Pitch Perfect 2, the sequel to 2012’s blockbuster hit musical comedy due in theaters this year!
Pentatonix are taking instrument-free music far beyond anyone’s wildest expectations. Named after the world’s most widely recognized five-note music scale, this quintet has transformed one of pop music’s purest and most soulful expressions into an exciting future, filled with limitless sonic possibility.
Pentatonix is comprised of lead vocalists Scott Hoying, Kirstie Maldonado and Mitch Grassi, vocal bass Avi Kaplan and beatboxer Kevin “K.O.” Olusola and, while the individuals would maintain that each of their fellow band members is irreplaceable, the fact remains that 24-hours before their audition for The Sing-Off they still hadn’t all officially met.
After The Sing Off, Pentatonix relocated to Los Angeles where they produced and released 2 EP’s PTX Vol 1 & PTXmas (both via Madison Gate Records) each time debuting on Billboard’s Top 200 and selling more than 125,000 albums.
