Avi is a basso profoundo trained in opera, now doing folk country the music he grew up with. He struggles with anxiety and his mom fought cancer for a few yrs, the main reasons he left Pentatonix. He has slowed down and now working at his own pace. Musically, he is brilliant worth listening to : )

@@st4rpt_603 he's just very well trained, with a solid 3 octaves sans head voice or chest voice. He would be a decent tenor, just because of his vocal control, but he has true power carrying the low Octaves and can hit the low G, which is rare even among basses. I listen to all of the great bass singers and he would be probably in the top 3 performing today, and could walk into any opera house and be hired if that was his passion.

Rune - Thorne Evolution of Music by Pentatonix is a great sampling of what he can do. But he’s more versatile than THAT even.

Avi's range is amazing. And he can go that deep, that he broke the sound system broke on serveral occasions.

Avi Kaplan is amazing! When he was with Pentatonix, he did something called overtone singing in some of the songs, which is basically where you're singing 2 notes at one time (usually a drone note on the low end, and then manipulating the resonances to bring out one of the overtones above the drone). It's a really cool technique, and not something you commonly hear. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any of his solo work where he's used this technique, but you can hear it in a couple of Pentatonix's performances on The Sing Off (E.T. and Dog Days Are Over) and in their covers of Starships and A-ha.

He is in this video "Alien Voices." Might be a fit for your channel. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eXdh1rOlaau9oJc.html

That is the power of bass singer. Feel the vibration

He was "borrrrrrn in California Raiiiiised up by the trees. Caaaaaame down from the mountain. Heeeaaarrrrt's a followin' the breeze." Anyway, yes. Please investigate his music more. =D The song I quoted is "Born in California", the first song on his set list on his recent (and first) solo tour; it's a good introduction to what he sounds like when he performs live. For something similar to "Change on the Rise" (but audio-only), I recommend Avi's most recent release, "Get Down". For something with a contrasting mood, check out Avi's "Otherside".

Perfect!

Avi is an amazing bass singer! In the recordings he sings all the parts. In concert when he hits the low notes the whole building and ground trembles. It's soooo cool. Thank you for the reaction.

As many people have mentioned, there are no back ups, every thing you hear is Avi. You should here him sing in his true bass. You can feel it in your soul.

❤This song is hands down my favorite song of Avi's, also enjoy Hey Ya (not my usual genre but it always makes me smile) Love Avi both in his solo career & with PTX! He did a great song with Home Free, Ring of fire (great double bass action)

Avi is amazing.. I love his music...

Avi is an amazing talented singer... I think you should also check out an acapella group called Home Free. They did of a cover of Johnny Cash Ring of Fire featuring Avi Kaplan which is fricken amazing! Another favorite of mine is Home Free’s cover of Man of Constant Sorrow from the movie Oh Brother Where Art Thou. Yes everything that Home Free does is strictly a Capella zero instruments including their beat boxer Adam who in Man of Constant Sorrow makes a sound like a true harmonica! I think you guys will be mind blown! I found your channel today from this video and I subbed!

@@BowsersreactionPit I saw Avi in concert this summer and ran into a group of metal heads at his St. Louis show. After the show they were making plans to go see him in Dallas. He is rapidly leaving PTX behind. He has only been solo for a couple of years but everytime he comes out with something new he just gets better and better. You can't really tell from his releases how powerful the live music is. He just blows the roof off. He's just turned 30 and has a massive musical background so I think 3 more years and he's going to be golden. Just as a side note, he did all the bass and overtones for the sound score for Blade Runner 2049.

Bowser’s reaction Pit oh I love metal too, however it’s interesting to step outside of the metal box to experience something that is amazing but may have never been something you’d try on your own. Trust me I have taken several metal heads to see Home Free live and they were mind blown in their first song! Lots of people are sometimes too afraid to try something new but you might miss out on something special if you don’t try it first. They’re on fire right now with people who love all different genres that would’ve never given them a chance before but because someone asked for it they now are hooked on them!

Avi was born in central California, but now lives outside Nashville (hence the slight southern accent.

Hearing that song for the first time. And man, this is a perfect song for some warrior movie. I love it!

The mountain god has spoke. I’m glad Avi is doing his own thing, been a fan of his for years

Thanks for doing this one. He played a huge role with Pentatonix. To see his talent, try either PTX song Royals or Say Something.

All of the back up singing was Avi as well as the bass. The song is about coming out of the darkness into the light. There were a drum and a tambourine I think.

Awesome low voice, so clean . Kinda cinematic war motivation 🤔.

Hahha, I don't know if I wanna finish a war or move a mountain after this one; definitely on my morning playlist, though. He's such an amazing singer and the song brings so many levels to it.

I like the faces at "what's good a man who lost his soul" 😁 & the baby-headbangs towards the end 😁

I would recommend Pentatonix "Born to be Wild" when they were on the competition show The Sing Off. 5 singers creating the wall of sound is awesome!

Avi channeling Game of Thrones

If you want more of Avi and are curious just how low he can go, react to "Black Is The Color Of My True Love's Hair" by Peter Hollens and Avi Kaplan. It is truly incredible. As mentioned, Avi is a basso profundo. His range is 6 octaves. Very rare in the singing world.

Metalheads + Avi Kaplan?! Finally! I feel less alone 🤘😁 I don't know who requested this to you but he/she did right. Avi is a talented vocalist. He's a bass with a beautiful tone and a great voice control. He can also sing overtones! (I'll leave a link down if you're intrigued...) 9:03 Nope! That was him in background as well doing all the layering. He sang the bassline too (heard the descending bass during the chorus? HIM) 4:30 you've mentioned Asaf Avidan which is fantastic (saw him live 2 times). Completely different voices but pretty similar style. Same for LP. Great artists for sure.

Avi is amazing. He was great when he was with the acappella group, Pentatonix, and really great on his own too.

Years ago, I saw a forum post from Avi’s high school chorus teacher who spoke of completely overhauling his curriculum to highlight Avi from his first day as a freshman in school, he was that obviously remarkable. He brought in a very well-known bass singer in the acapella world to give a day-long seminar to his kids, and arranged for the guy to give Avi specific instruction on how a bass singer should use the microphone. (That bass singer is now with the group Manhattan Transfer, but before joining them, he ran sound for a Pentatonix concert tour.)

There is great bass in the VoicePlay cover of Oogie Boogie’s Song. Geoff Castellucci is the bass singer for them and he hits subharmonics that you can almost feel through the screen. I’m a huge Avi fan too.

Awesome tune. 👍

This song makes me want it to be a game trailer that I WANT TO PLAY. There was a book long ago called Riverworld where people went when they died. Up and down the river you could meet different people from history. This video makes me want this to be that game and go after whoever keeps the Riverworld running...and why do we keep resurrecting in a new place along the river every time we die? Rebellion!!

Another great Avi Kaplan video in one he did with the a cappella group Home Free, a cover of Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire. Home Free also has a great bass, Tim Foust, and they trade off the lead.

Avi ❤️

He has a Grammy for a country song while with Pentatonix. They collaborated with Dolly Parton on a remake of "Jolene". Won for Best Country Duo/Group Performance Jolene

OK I started listening to you two about 6 months ago when you started doing PTX. I just stumbled across this one so had to watch it. This is by far my Favorite AVI song. And if this song is not the ultimate protest song, I don't know what is. Glad I found this one!

Check out Pentatonix Bohemian Rhapsody

My first thought about the fire/torch part was “burn the witches?” Love it

Would love for you to react to Home Free "Ring of Fire" featuring Avi Kaplan.

My first time on your channel. I love that you don't do research ahead. Going in blind it the best. BTW, Avi's California is the mountains and sequoias one, not the Hollywood and gridlock one.

First Timer to your channel. Yes, your listeners are right. He was from Pentatonix now solo. Great Vocalist. Why I stumbled upon your channel, I am an Avi fan myself. So follow him and Pentatonix yourselves. They are worth listening too. First, do their Pentatonix cover of Mary Did you KNow; Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, or "Come Along". They all become big from the NBC show The Sing-Off Thrid season. They won by the way, but the label dropped them, went to KZread VIdeos to promote themselves and now are in their 8th year by doing a World Tour.

Surprised the hell out of me to see you react to this, but glad you did. Always good to broaden your horizons, guys. I love my metal music but listen to pretty much anything. Yeah, joking aside, he has one hell of a voice. No back up singers, that is all Avi!

Avi(ah-vee) is a bass and he used to be in the accapella group "pentatonix" he can also do overtone. He went away from the band to his own music and is now solo I believe. Edit: I looked it up.. Avi actually left the band to be with his friends and family more and is indeed a solo artist

Waiting for you to realize that's Avi Kaplan. The original bass for Pentatonix

I think this may have been born out of the fires in Northern California. Fire in the background and through the curtains. Very powerful.

Avi never lived in Texas. He is from California but not from LA, from Visalia. He did live in L.A. for the 6 years he was with Pentatonix. Only 3 of the 5 Pentatonix members are from Texas.

Please react to his latest "It Knows Me". POWERFUL SONG! Audio only but the album cover moves...cool to see.

Ok so y'all really don't know who he is? He was the bass singer for the group Pentatonix. A group that won a reality singing program. They sing a bunch of Christmas music and fluff, so knowing that, doesn't that make this so much better? Yeah.

When they light the torches, I can almost hear someone saying "We're heading to the Frankenstein place". Or perhaps they are heading to the longboat to set it ablaze with the body of a fallen viking comrade. When I saw that this had been suggested to a pair of metalheads, I was concerned that you might not like it, as it's definitely not metal. I'm glad that you liked it, and I agree that Avi's voice is awesome. This song is unlike anything else he's done (most of which is either very folky or quietly contemplative), so I don't have any suggestions for you.
