The first time I saw them was when my friend showed me the video of them.The sounds that sent to my ears were so wonderful and nice, making me want to learned more about them.
After searching more about them, I found myself really enjoy listening to their songs and videos.
Pentatonix began with Kirstin Maldonado, Mitchell Grassi, and Scott Hoying who grew up together. After graduating, they founded
Avi Kaplan in a a cappella community.Later on, they founded Kevin Olusola on Youtube, where one of his videos in which he was simultaneously beatboxing and playing cello. And with the nice sound they made, they decided to form a band.
Pentatonix, as suggested by Scott Hoying, is named after the pentatonic scale, a musical scale or mode with five notes per octave, representing the five members of the group. They replaced the last letter with an "x" to make it more cool and appealing. The quintet derives its influences from pop, dubstep, electro, reggae, hip hop, and classical music.
They made a lot of songs that still remain popular on YouTube or other websites.The most famous song they sang was"Daft Punk"and "Cheerleader". The acappella sounds very relaxing and nice, everyone's sound were all connected with others which is the reasons why they sound so good.
"Daft Punk"
"Cheerlea-der"
They also have other songs that sound very good too.
"Rather Be"
"White Winter Hymnal"
"Imagine"
There are lots of bands outside,but not every team can make such wonderful music and work as one . I really like them, and I wish you will too! See you next time!
