Vocalosity is a music group with twelve members selected from televised singing shows like The Sing-Off, The Voice, national performing tours, a cappella groups and Broadway.[1][2][3] Throughout the show, the group performs both as one large group and also in smaller configurations.[4] Their repertoire spans from gregorian chant to current pop hits[5][6][7] including The Beatles, Motown and Jazz.[8]

Artistic director, music director and arranger Deke Sharon, known for his work on Pitch Perfect and The Sing-Off, created the show with IMG Artists and Work Light Productions.[9][10] Director and choreographer Seán Curran is the chair of the dance department at New York University and was an original cast member of the New York company of Stomp.[11][12] Creative consultants Robert Sternin and Prudence Fraser are best known for their work developing The Nanny and writing for shows like Who's The Boss.[13]

Most performances feature a local opening act, chosen by public vote or by Deke Sharon[14][15][16][17][18] including high school and college groups, barbershop quartets, pop choirs and the like.[19]

Album

Vocalosity's eponymous debut album was released on January 15, 2016 on Universal Classics (part of Decca Label Group ),[20] and rose onto the iTunes Vocal charts in the United States (#27) and Japan (#30)
