DCappella’s co-creator, music director, arranger, and producer is Deke Sharon (“the father of contemporary a cappella,” according to Entertainment Weekly), whose credits include the Pitch Perfect franchise and Straight No Chaser.  

Known for their reimagined classics from the Disney songbook and beyond, the seven dynamic voices that make up DCappella, Sojourner Brown [alto], Orlando Dixon [baritone/“The Voice”], Antonio Fernandez [vocal percussion], Morgan Keene [soprano/“Newsies”], Shelley Regner [mezzo/“Pitch Perfect” films], Joe Santoni [bass], and RJ Woessner [tenor], represent a first for Disney, who launched the brand’s flagship a cappella experience last Spring with a TV debut on “American Idol” during “Disney Night,” where the group performed classics from “The Little Mermaid,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “The Lion King,” and “Aladdin.” That same week, they graced one of Hollywood’s most hallowed stages to open Disney’s Beauty and the Beast Live in Concert at the Hollywood Bowl. Most recently, they recorded four songs on the digital version of the Incredibles 2 original motion picture soundtrack.

The 411:

I was really impressed. The singers are truly talented. You never miss the music of some of your favorite songs. Their voices come together beautifully and the mash-ups of Let It Go and Do You Want To Build A Snowman? and Part of Your World/A Whole New World were truly my favorites. I cannot wait to here more from this wonderful group.  

If you are a Disney fan this is a must! My kids and my preschool class loved this so I take it to work daily and have to remember to bring it home. We sing along in the car and in the classroom.  My toddlers are amazed that there is no music and that the voices of the singers are creating the music. 

Fans of Pitch Perfect will also love this!

Great stocking stuffer.
