Building upon the inspiration from such groups as Rajaton, The King’s Singers, and The Real Group, Six has charted a unique path, combining choral, pop, world, and folk influences, surprising audiences everywhere with the versatility and blend of their voices. To categorize their genre is difficult; to experience their music is indescribable.
The members of Six come from entirely different musical backgrounds. In its inception, Six came together as a group of opera and rock singers, jazz artists and choral traditionalists. From amidst this diversity a common goal has seamlessly forged a unified and surprisingly unique a cappella sound. New and returning audiences alike are left constantly amazed at the musical possibilities of the human voice. As the group continue to develop, each member brings different strengths, adding to the complexity that makes Six Vocal Ensemble. This diversity allows the group to explore many genres of music, while retaining in each style the power of a synchronized, well-blended ensemble.
In 2010, Six released their debut CD, Swept Away, beautifully showcasing their ability to create a diverse body of work. Amidst the explosion of pop a cappella music in the mainstream media, it is this album, featuring entirely original works and arrangements, that sets Six apart.

As a result, six has been featured many times on CBC Radio, and have been invited guests to world-renowned music festivals. This success has led to a continually growing audience and an opportunity to perform throughout the country.
It is the love of singing that endears audiences to this ensemble. Long after the final notes have faded there remains a palpable and lasting connection for the audience. It is the sound that keeps them coming back. less
