Avi Kaplan - First Place I Go

[@bryangriffin2093]

Avi is an incredible singer song writer. The fact that he decided to choose family over a demanding career truly shows he knows where real wealth is. Wish him the very best this world has to offer

I am a metal-head, but Avi makes me listen to whatever this is. Keep doing you, Avi. Your voice is incredible and your songs always sing from the soul.

[@kaitlynmoul7857]

Same, if you would’ve told me 5 years ago this is the type of music I’d listen to if laugh in your face! But there’s something about Avi that hits me in a different way then metal does! It hits me in the same general area as metal but some a lot deeper!

[@randy-pf5du]

SAME as a metalhead ive never liked country vocals or lyrics buy his voice hits different and the lyrics are good and deep

[@mariawilliams4941]

I think Avi and his songs will be remembered long after I’ve left the planet

[@paulcridland5230]

Yup i have just gone from Slipknot to Insomnium to Gojira and now Avi

[@raudonasaule]

I get chills from every single one of his songs. In today’s world filled with junk, his music is like the purest, most natural diamond. He should be a global star creating such music, but the problem is that only a few people still feel and understand it, while the majority listens to things that can hardly even be called music. We are the minority, people, and thank you, AVI, for creating something from the heart and not for the money.

[@Shadowbrothe]

His control and general vocals have improved so much over the years. It's been a joy to follow his journey since the sing off. I knew since I first heard him there was a depth there that he just wasn't getting to unleash, while I miss him in Pentatonix, I'm really enjoying his solo stuff.

[@robgumba5163]

I also missed him in PTX but I am also happy that he gets to follow his type of music. Love him.

[@rafaeldiegobastian8023]

Realmente faz falta no ptx, mas ele precisava voar solo. Encontrou seu caminho e nós só temos a agradecer pelo que ele nos oferece. Sua voz e sua música são uma benção.

[@erichbrough6097]

I truly had no clue this stuff was in him, it's awesome! 🙌

[@gailseatonhumbert]

@Avi you are another fake Avi and it has been noticed. Leave his fans alone.

[@tanyanguyen3704]

He wasn’t really part of ptx. He stood on the outside, and as a back up. Mostly cause the style of music they loved wasnt soe,thing he loved. But also cause he is a bass, and its what people want. I see the VIP “oh, can you sing a really low note for us”? Or clapping when he goes really low in concert, like a trick poney. Who would want that? Its not fulfilling. But to chart your own path. Write and arrange songs that speak to you..thats the path he is on. I dont miss him with ptx, cause i never loved ptx, beyond “oh that’s really neat”. Outside of their Christmas music, ive not listened to any of their stuff more than a few times, cause its vocally complex, but its pop and its covers. And i hope they continue to succeed, i do. I just am thrilled avi gets fo be an artist, not a bass.

[@carolinacuchacovich]

2023 ...I just found him this year ( I didn't know PTX neither) and I'm so happy he exist... Music hasn't died yet, there is hope... Best voice in the moment

[@tanyanguyen3704]

In a tangible sense, its exactly what i suspect it is. Ptx had him working 9 to 10 months every ear on the road, and writing/recording/arranging the other 2 to three months. Always more. Always rushed. Always go go go. That would be hard for anyone, much less someone who deals with depression and anxiety.
