Pentatonix started as a trio, as Grassi, Hoying and Kirstin Maldonado were in the choir for most of their careers in high school. Interestingly, Grassi and Maldonado performed group theatre. Accordingly, the three quickly put together a cappella version of Lady Gaga’s 2010 “Telephone,” featuring Beyoncé to compete with Glee cast members in a local radio station contest. They did not win but went on to participate and succeed, gaining popularity.
Lady Gaga influenced Grassi when he was seventeen, as she came out as part of the LGBTQ community. Grassi also appreciated her sense of self-expression. Grassi dated Hoying briefly at their “arts-oriented” Martin High School.

Mitch Grassi: Career and achievements
As a member of Pentatonix:
Pentatonix is a collaborative quintet of a cappella, singing most of their tracks, and much of their success comes from touring, even globally. They gained national attention in the United States performing on NBC’s 2011 Cappella reality show The Sing-Off which they won. The group got a record label that dropped them as their market was too small with no guarantee of selling albums or concert tickets. However, Grassi finally felt it was beneficial as around the end of 2012 Pentatonix began posting videos to YouTube creating an international fan base.
