Pentatonix (Also known as PTX) is an American a cappella group from Arlington, Texas, consisting of vocalists Scott Hoying (baritone), Mitch Grassi (tenor), Kirstin Maldonado (mezzo-soprano), Kevin Olusola (vocal percussion), and Matt Sallee (bass) and formally Avi Kaplan (bass)

Pentatonix formed in 2011 with Scott, Mitch, Kirstie and then adding Avi and Kevin before starting the Sing-Off! Pentatonix subsequently won the third season of NBC's The Sing-Off and won a prize of $200,000 and a recording contract with Sony Music. When Sony's Epic Records dropped the group after The Sing-Off, the group formed it's YouTube channel before being signed with Sony Pictures-owned label Madison Gate Records!

The name 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 appealing.

Pentatonix has won three Grammy awards, one Streamy award, two YouTube Music Awards and one Shorty Award!

Pentatonix has released seven albums with one more coming out this upcoming February (The Lucky Ones). Pentatonix has also been on over ten tours, many of them being sold out!

Between the five current members - Mitch Grassi-Hoying, Scott Hoying, Kirstie Maldonado-Rogers Kevin Olusola and Matt Sallee and the one former member Avi Kaplan, they have FORTY healthy and happy children that have mostly been out of the lime light and living private lives.

All of the families post videos and pictures of their families online so the fans can see what their children are up too!
