Pentatonix Lyrics - Discography
Pentatonix, is a renowned American a cappella ensemble comprising vocalists Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi, Kirstin Maldonado, Matt Sallee, and Kevin Olusola, hailing from Arlington, Texas. Their signature style blends pop-inspired arrangements featuring vocal harmonies, basslines, riffing, percussion, and beatboxing. The group gained widespread recognition after triumphing in the third season of NBC's The Sing-Off in 2011, securing a $200,000 prize and a recording contract with Sony Music.
Following their stint with Sony's Epic Records post-The Sing-Off, Pentatonix took to YouTube, leveraging their platform to showcase their musical prowess through Madison Gate Records, a label under Sony Pictures. In 2012, they released their debut EP, PTX, Volume 1, and the holiday-themed PTXmas. The subsequent year marked their chart-topping success with PTX, Vol. II, reaching number 1 on Billboard's Independent Albums chart and number 10 on the Billboard 200.
In 2014, Pentatonix inked a deal with RCA Records, a flagship label of Sony Music Entertainment. That prolific year saw the release of PTX, Vol. III, and two full-length studio albums, PTX, Vols. 1 & 2 and the gold-certified That's Christmas to Me, which became the highest-charting holiday album by a group since 1962. Their eponymous album in 2015, consisting mostly of original material, debuted at the pinnacle of the US Billboard 200.
The departure of original bass, Avi Kaplan, in 2017 marked a transition as Matt Sallee assumed the role, featuring prominently on subsequent releases like Pentatonix Christmas Deluxe and PTX Presents: Top Pop, Vol. I. With three Grammy Awards to their name, including Best Arrangement and Best Country Duo/Group Performance, Pentatonix reached another pinnacle on February 21, 2023, when they were honored with a star on the illustrious Hollywood Walk of Fame.
