During a two-month break in the a cappella group Pentatonix’s world tour, baritone Scott Hoying became a newlywed. He also went out on his own, releasing his most personal music to date on his seven-track solo debut “Parallel.'
“It’s just like this really big new chapter that’s starting. And it feels kismet and amazing.”
The COVID-19 pandemic was an underlying reason for the project. Because Pentatonix couldn’t record together due to social distancing, the five-member a cappella group laid down tracks separately, having learned how to use digital audio technology. Once Hoying became comfortable with the process, he was captivated by it. He constantly watched tutorials on YouTube and it led to a flurry of personal songwriting.
The pandemic process “was super energizing and inspiring, and I ended up writing hundreds of songs,” Hoying said.the title track “Parallel,”“Parallel” is about Hoying’s relationship with his husband, Mark, their shared qualities and being in sync with one another. It recalls a time when the couple was supposed to attend an event but ended up laying side by side on the floor of the kitchen talking long into the night.
And just like that, Hoying will be back on tour with Pentatonix when it starts a North American leg of their tour in August. The group has been together since 2011. It began with Hoying, tenor Mitch Grassi and mezzo-soprano Kirstin Maldonado as high school classmates in Arlington, Texas. They added bass Avi Kaplan and beatboxer Kevin Olusola prior to competing — and winning — on the television competition program, “The Sing-Off.” Kaplan left Pentatonix in 2017 and was replaced that year by Matt Sallee.
