Matt Sallee is the new kid on the block when it comes to Pentatonix, and now we are getting to learn more about him!
The new bass singer of the a Capella group is dishing on how he got into music, his history with Pentatonix, and the rest of the group even shared thoughts on him.
After Matt didn’t get into his first college choice, he heard about the Berkeley College of Music where he then ended up attending for Vocal Performance.
When he was in high school, he went to an a Capella competition and actually got to see Pentatonix perform from the front row.
“Matt is such a joyous human. I love that so much about him, because I think he brings a life and an energy that is so beautiful to this family,” Kevin Olusola said about Matt. “I think as Pentatonix, we want to exude energy and joy into all of our fans and he fits right in when it comes to that.”

Kirstin Maldonado stopped by Build Series on Thursday afternoon (February 15) in New York City.
While the singer was there to chat about making her Broadway debut in Kinky Boots with co-star Jake Shears, she also spoke about how the fans made Pentatonix the success it is today.
“We just had a really big and really hard work ethic and that propelled us forward. We never wanted to stop,” Kirstin shared. “We lived in the same apartment complex when we first moved to LA and we had rehearsals every day and worked on music.”
She adds that the group does owe their success to their fans too.
“We have such an amazing fanbase that supports us and loves us,” Kirstin says with a smile. “…We were always meeting in choir room B, arranging ‘Telephone’, and because of that, we have that support system in that community, that family.”
In case you didn’t know, Kirstin just made her Broadway debut in Kinky Boots earlier this month. 2018 is already turning out to be a great year for them!
