| − | <p style="line-height:19.1875px;font-family:sans-serif;">Pentatonix started as Scott Hoying, Kirstie Maldonado and Mitch Grassi, "The Trio". The three went to Martin High School in Arlington, Texas and were in choirs and drama groups together. They oringially arranged a trio version of ''Telephone ''by Lady GaGa and Beyonce to enter a radio competition to meet the cast of ''Glee.'' They did not win, however, but it sparked attention around their school and even on YouTube where they continued arranging songs on Scott Hoying's[http://www.youtube.com/user/scotthoying channel.] ''' '''</p> |

During this time both Maldonado and Hoying had graduated and started attending different universities while Grassi was still at Martin High School as a senior. A member from Hoying's college a capella group the SoCal Vocals, suggested they find a beat boxer and vocal bassist to add to their already formed trio of singers to add to their sound.</p> |

The groups only chance to meet was the day before the auditions for ''The Sing-Off ''and Grassi had to skip his high school graduation to make it. They made it onto the show and eventually went on to win the show in November 2011.</p> |

The 'x' was added to make it more appealing and "futuristic". The group says they're influenced by many styles of music such as pop, dubstep, elecro and hip-hop. But individually they all have very different styles of music they enjoy which they say helps when it comes to arrangements.</p> |
