Scott Hoying

Scott Hoying represents, to me, the moment a cappella stopped being a novelty. As the baritone of Pentatonix, he helped a vocals-only group win three Grammys, land songs on the Billboard Hot 100, and reach genuine mainstream success, which is no small feat for music made without instruments. What I appreciate is the discipline behind it: tight, architectural harmonies that only come from years of singing together, going back to his high school days in Arlington, Texas. He turned a teenage passion into a global career and elevated an entire format along the way. I think he is one of the more underrated craftsmen in modern pop.
