[@jasenyoface7555]

Avi freaking rocks! So good. Let's set this comment section ablaze - tell me a joke. tell me an interesting fact (does not need to be about Avi, or music at all). Tell me a short story. Go! 🤘

[@Lookinforrealmusic]

He is also doing livestreams from his home right now. He is doing acoustic versions of his solo work and HIS VOICE IS GLORIOUS. Wow! Seboss12 is posting them to you tube and there are some on his channel as well.

[@cjsjr249]

Geoff Castellucci, the bass from Voiceplay, created the arrangement for Home Free's cover of Elvira ft. the Oak Ridge Boys. It's amazing!

[@sanja1313]

All vocal is Avi.. No many instruments..

[@Arcusfp1]

If memory serves me right Avi won the first ever award for human bass guitar, and is a classically trained opera singer. During the competition show "The Sing Off" Avi and Kevin got to be know as "Meat and Potatoes"because of the way they held down rhythm section in Pentatonix.

[@bealueck3630]

Avi did all the vocal tracks, including the killer bass undertones. There are instruments, mainly percussion, playing. Live version includes keyboard, drums, bass and electric guitars. Check out Full Moon to hear more of his higher range. He has an acoustic version - with him playing the guitar while singing.

[@meganwilliams2962]

Avi's voice is dark chocolate for the soul and melted caramel for the ears.

Avi did all the tracks (bass, high-ish second voice, instruments, all that)

[@jeancaldwell5391]

I may be wrong, but in more than one comment from Avi, there is an organ and a drum accompanying him. It’s very subtle though. Most of it is just Avi.

[@janetranslates]

@@jeancaldwell5391 You're not wrong. I think there's more percussion than just a drum, but he tweeted right after the premiere that he uses some percussion and "a little bit of organ," but that all the vocals are him. My impression is that he didn't necessarily PLAY the organ and percussion (though I'm sure he could).

[@michaelnolastname5495]

really

[@st4rpt_603]

@@janetranslates not sure if he can play the organ, but I bet he did the percussion by himself, in Pentatonix he used to do some minor stuff to assist Kevin in the percurssion so I guess he can handle it

[@camronhagler5998]

He has a band... He did all the main vocals and lower back vocals at the beginning of the 1st and 2nd verse. But his band does the main backing vocals

I’d listen 😂

[@richcopes]

Your not far from the truth. He spent quite sometime after leaving pentatonix in seclusion finding him self. His music is a reflection of that.

Avi also does a pretty cool thing called overtone singing where he actually sings two notes at once. There are a bunch of videos out there of it

[@jelinenanashi9466]

I was going to comment about his overtone singing. He's only scratched the surface with Avi's talents! Everyone from PTX is so multi talented.

[@jelinenanashi9466]

@PentaholicSPN FAMILYPotter Head Seriously! I mean, have you heard Kevin's solo stuff?? And he speaks Mandarin AND was premed before getting with PTX AND has perfect pitch? Mitch's inhuman range and insane runs?? Kristin's whistle notes and Broadway vocals?? And don't even get me started on Mr. Soulful Scott and his insanity... It's like the stars aligned with them.

[@jelinenanashi9466]

@PentaholicSPN FAMILYPotter Head No, I gotcha. It's annoying how brilliant they all are. My comment was highlighting each of their talents stressing on how annoying it all is they're so amazing. Seriously, stars aligned. Not sure when that's happened before or when something like that will happen again.

[@i_v-ro4of]

Jeline Nanashi also Kevin can play cello right?

[@CraftyCricketWV]

[@larrywt656]

For all of you who are still sad or upset that Avi left Pentatonix...this...THIS...is why! This is what he had been holding up inside of him for all those years. This song is EPIC!! All the vocals are Avi, no other backing vocalists. There is some musical accompaniment on this, as there are on all of his solo songs. No more a cappella for Avi, but the music he is creating now is powerful and MAGNIFICENT!!

[@mariawilliams4941]

He certainly did the right thing, PTX now have Matt. So a win all round to think we might not have got to hear the real Avi

[@mas719]

Maria Moumtzi *Aviously 😏

[@BusinessCasualLabCoat]

Based on the sound, I think most if not all of the percussion was body percussion, like claps, stomps, finger snaps, and probably chest thumping for the "bass drum". The only thing I can hear that is definitely an instrument is a keyboard or synth in the bridge section.

[@MrPyschonoob]

It just started a huge rabbit hole,, ive been listening to all his new stuff lately. I am seriously blown away by this. he was my favorite in Pentatonix.. and now I know why he had to leave.. he was born for this..

[@Lookinforrealmusic]

So glad you found his music! It's wonderful isn't it!? He has been doing live acoustic versions from his home the last few weeks. They are so good!

[@1812Katy]

It's so frustrating to actually feel someone to your very core and not have the words to describe that feeling. Avi does it every time I hear him! There's no one else like him. Don't think there ever was anyone before him and sure there will never be another one. This man is amazing!!

[@megapowgaming9117]

They very low bass warble is avi. Avi said in an interview that in all of his songs he loves to put that super low base line even if sometimes you cant hear it (in this you clearly can, but you know what I mean). He said that you sometimes dont notice it, but youd miss it if it wasnt there

[@AutumnFire1414]

It's really an insidious song, isn't it? You think it's kinda slow and nice, but you'll find it running through your head at odd times and then you have to go back and listen to it again. That's what makes it awesome.

Jase, you’ve been brought to another level of perfection!! Avi never disappoints!! With that said, you asked for a story(Avi-I’ll Get By).... Resonates so much with this song and video in many ways and years of my life.... My Sister was killed in a car accident on Mother’s Day, my Dad passed away on March 22,2013. My Younger Brother had a brain tumor removed and suffered a stroke during surgery that same year(November 4,2013). So now, in my life with the ones I Love Dearly(Mom,Brother, and My Brothers Son who is 7).... With All on my shoulders, “I’ll Get By”, is my “Theme Song”!!!

He just released an EP and it's fantastic! Well worth checking out his solo music. Thank you to Leslie for her request. LOVE Avi. He had a 4 song live video from the youtube studios last month. All songs from the new EP. It was super. I was supposed to see him on the 1st but obviously cancelled. Was so disappointed as I was looking so forward to it. Saw him last year as well and it was a show to remember. Lovely man.

[@Lookinforrealmusic]

I agree. His live shows are unforgettable and the acoustic versions he does just blow me away.

[@kmwwrench]

This is so fabulous. "We're singin' all day and you can't tame it" has to be one of the best lyrics ever. That voice. Yum.

[@troywilson9885]

Avi also does this very cool thing called overtone singing, which means singing two notes at the same time and can be hard to hear in songs that he uses it in because it blends in very well. It wasn’t in this song but it is in some of the Pentatonix songs from the past. You should check out a video about his overtone singing, whether on the channel or on your own. It is a really cool thing

[@StephenReacts]

This was so awesome live at his London concert! The crowd was so wild lol

Lesley Tate yesss, I like that

[@livus3787]

On his studio tracks he does a bunch of layering/harmonizing with his own voice, mixes his low notes with instruments like cello, base drum etc, adds whatever he feels like to create the atmosphere he initially imagined for said song to have At concert the arrangements are more "concert-y" (I think I don't know how to say), with band that changes, and his voice live is the frickin SAME quality if not better 👌🤩

[@jenniwrenmarr9392]

Great reaction. I saw him live in London in January, such a fantastic show.

ADORO SEUS REACTS DO AVI!!!!!! GREETINGS FROM BRASIL

[@UserHorologium]

I'll add another Avi request, but it's not one that is mentioned here. The first solo single he released (well, Avriel and the Sequoias, which was his first solo project) was entitled "Fields and Pier". It is *not* a cappella (he plays his guitar throughout, there are strings, and Kevin's custom-tuned cello is heard as well), but it is a wonderful song. The scenery is lovely too--Avi searched for locations to film the video, and while much of it was filmed in Central California (where he grew up), the pier is in Oregon. It is very different from anything he ever did with Pentatonix, and is quite different from "Change on the Rise" as well (although, to be fair, *everything* he has done is different from "Change on the Rise").

He only uses the band as backup singers in concert. In studio all the voices are him. He gave a real eye opening interview to @Tommymarzband on @Soundvapors talking about how he does all his music. It's mindblowing how talented and creative he is.

Seeing how both Avi and Kevin have stepped up to do solo work, I'd love to see them join up for an album. Call it KO Kaplan or M&P or whatever.

One of the reasons I love Fields and Pier is because its Avi and Kevin. I'm with you. I would LOVE to hear what they could do to a whole album.
