![]() ![]() LA: When I hear your music, it kinda gets me, like emotionally. ![]() (laughs) We’re so much more than a barbershop quartet, you know? We’re even better in person than in our videos. People that book us usually have just seen our videos, they haven’t seen us live, and they are really impressed with how full the music sounds in person. Whether it’s a very buttoned up or less formal event, what’s exciting to the guests is that we are making the music with just us, no instruments or backing tracks. ![]() For instance, we did a dance party for Peloton and they partied hard and danced to our music, we made it more hi tempo. The music we perform can be targeted to a demographic and a theme that’s relevant to them, and the environment we’re in. LA: You mentioned “activating a brand” - What does that mean? What’s the connection between a cute quintet singing a popular pop song and activating a brand?īacktrack: Oh good question. They get a 2-for-1 in a way: entertainment and guest teachers. When it comes to education, we will do a show and then also teach a lesson to the students, often choir groups or high schools and colleges. We get to perform music that we love and activate a brand in a new way. Event planners are always looking for a way for their event to be unforgettable, and our live music is a way to make an event stand out. And also they are the nicest people in the world, as you would expect a wholesome, slightly famous a cappella group to be, naturally.īacktrack: For parties and corporate events, it’s innovative and niche entertainment. If any of you are artists working collaboratively in the entertainment or education worlds, their insights will definitely resonate with you. I want to interview you about your work and learn everything about you.Īnd, as you know, I follow my instincts, so we’re featuring Backtrack Vocals at Words of NoMads on November 6th at 8:30pm, and I invited the team to come to my office and teach me all about their a cappella ways. Learning a bit about her and her work, I immediately became a fan and looked up their YouTube channel - they have over 100,000 subscribers and make high quality music videos on par with much more packaged and mature acts. Please email Danielle at to book a private lesson.At a YouTube Creators event recently, I met a few deeply engaging women who are making much more than “content.” One of them was Mallory Moser, a senior member of professional a cappella quintet Backtrack Vocals. If you are interested in more individual instruction throughout the program, private lessons are also available with any member of our faculty for an additional fee. Lastly, if you are interested in singing a solo, there will be an opportunity for you to audition for a special moment under the spotlight. Faculty will often use “break-out rooms” (the Zoom feature that was made for us!) to rehearse sections of the song with each vocal section.Īn exciting part of our program are the spirited masterclasses that we offer! This season, expect to get your feet wet in a variety of topics including beatboxing, choreography, music theory, vocal technique, and solo skills. Most classes will be a small or large group format. We are thrilled to invite you to our winter a cappella program- Sing With Backtrack! Over the course of 7 weeks, students will learn from members of the award-winning ensemble, Backtrack Vocals (see group bio below), from New York City! Students will rehearse a unique arrangement of a popular song, which will be performed virtually in a music video at the end of the program.
