Pure, six-man vocal harmonies that transform pop hits and hymns into warm acoustic blankets. Intimate a cappella for quiet mornings and family gatherings.
Voice Male creates a sound that is entirely human, built from the ground up using nothing but six voices. Their music feels like a living room performance; it is intimate, warm, and remarkably clean. By stripping away all electronic instrumentation, they highlight the natural resonance of the male voice, moving from deep, grounding bass lines to soaring, bright tenors that mimic the texture of a string section or a light percussion kit.
What sets them apart is their versatility within the a cappella format. While many groups lean into high-gloss theatricality, Voice Male maintains a grounded, earnest quality. They bridge the gap between traditional barbershop precision and contemporary pop sensibility, often infusing their arrangements with a gentle, spiritual undertone that reflects their roots in the Utah choral scene. The 'mouth percussion' is subtle rather than aggressive, serving the song rather than showing off.
For those new to the group, their holiday work is the most accessible entry point, offering a nostalgic and cozy atmosphere. Their 'HIMS' series provides a more contemplative, soulful experience for listeners seeking something reflective. It is music for moments that require a human touch without the distraction of heavy production.
Voice Male is a six-man contemporary a cappella group based in Utah. The group performs covers of contemporary popular songs as well as traditional Latter-day Saint music and some original material. Voice Male formed at Utah State University in 1994 as a nine-man group. Over the next two years several members of the group left and auditions were held for replacements. A short time later two more members left, leaving the group with six members. Voice Male decided at that time to keep the group at six and they remained unchanged until 2010, when Phil Kesler died from cancer. Rick Murdock was officially added as a new member in 2011. Voice Male was the winner of the holiday album category in the 1999 Contemporary A Cappella Society for "Jingles", was runner up in the 2001 awards in the cover/pop song category for "Light in Your Eyes" from Hooked, was runner up in the 2006 awards in the holiday album category for Jingles 2, as well as the holiday song category for o come, o come Emmanuel.
