Hello World!<\/p>\n

Matt Sallee is the newest member of Pentatonix. I say “newest” but he has been with the a cappella group for several \u00a0years replacing Avi Kaplan in 2017. \u00a0Last week Matt Sallee was in Derry, NH at the Tupelo Music Hall. He answered questions, gave advice, laughed, and took photos with fans and students of the Real School of Music \u00a0(therealschoolofmusic.com<\/a>\u00a0). \u00a0I have a few blogs in the pipeline but bumped up this post for the holidays. I can’t think of a better reason to share some Pentatonix Christmas music. \u00a0You might not want to listen to some of these songs in a few weeks.<\/p>\n

Matt is humble and grateful to be part of his dream group! He was a big fan before he had the opportunity to sing with PTX. \u00a0Matt\u00a0stressed hard work, and being prepared as elements to his success. He also mentioned healthy habits \u00a0such as sleep, \u00a0rest, (not the same as sleeping Matt pointed out), staying hydrated, and eating well as being essential. \u00a0Last but not least he told the intimate audience that it is important to remember where you came from; to thank their teachers and instructors, and to give their parents a hug. \u00a0This is all great advice, even for those that are not aspiring singers.<\/p>\n

Wondering what Matt listens to? He mentioned worship music during his talk. Afterwards Matt also told me he listens to the Jonas Brothers. \u00a0It’s really not an easy question, and Matt said there is so much great music. \u00a0Yes there is! 603melody could not agree more!<\/p>\n

Take a listen to a few of PTX’s Christmas songs-<\/p>\n

You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch<\/a><\/p>\n

Where Are You, Christmas<\/a><\/p>\n

This video is Pre-Matt but one of my favorites-<\/p>\n

Mary, Did You Know?<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are a few more you may enjoy. Especially if you come across this blog in July, and may not be in mood for Christmas music.<\/p>\n

Shallow<\/a><\/p>\n

The Sound of Silence\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Matt mentioned this “deep cut” as one of his favorite PTX songs- \u00a0Valentine.<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course have to add some Jonas Brothers too. Check them out on\u00a0James Corden Carpool Karoake<\/a>. \u00a0I would love his job; well if I could sing, and not get nervous driving celebs around.<\/p>\n

Last month another singer mentioned listening to the Jonas Brothers as well. \u00a0I will have to keep you in suspense for awhile longer on that one. \u00a0More blog posts to come!<\/p>\n

Thanks for checking in!<\/p>\n

What are you listening to?<\/p>\n
