About the artist: Peter Hollens is an American a capella singer and Youtube artist. He started an a capella group in college and met his wife through singing venues. In 2011, he began his Youtube channel and since then has collaborated with many well-known artists and released multiple CDs.
Why I recommend him:
I love his pure singing, and he covers a wide range of genres, from folk to pop to musicals. Because everything you hear is made strictly by him (sometimes only his mouth) his music tends to have a gentle quality. His songs and collaborations are perfect for character theme songs and setting moods.
What I use his music for:
-General playlist music
-Listening through an album start to finish
-Character theme songs
Favorite Songs:
Parting Glass:
Loch Lomond:
Baba Yetu:
For the Dancing and the Dreaming:
Now We Are Free:
And some others that are too good to leave off the list:
In Dreams
What Are Words
I See The Light
Into the West
The Last Goodbye
