History

[edit | edit source]

DCappella was conceived in 2012 with[2] auditions starting in November 2017.[3] Then it was announced in December 2017 as being formed by Disney Music Group through a nationwide search for talent run by Deke Sharon. Plans at the time was for a seven member group, soprano, mezzo, alto, tenor, high baritone, low bass and vocal percussionist. On April 29, 2018, the seven members were confirmed to be Newsies star Morgan Keene as the soprano, Pitch Perfect star Shelley Regner as the mezzo, Tony Awards performer Sojourner Brown as the alto, Saturday Night Live performer and former The Sing Off contestant RJ Woessner as the tenor, The Voice finalist Orlando Dixon as the baritone, Hunkapella member Joe Santoni as the bass, and American Music Machine member Antonio Fernandez as the vocal percussionist.[4] In January 2018, a list of 14 member was released, as at the time, Disney planned for two separate touring teams within DCappella group but settled with one group of seven instead.[5]

Disney Music released the group's first single, "Immortals" from Disney's "Big Hero 6" on April 27, 2018.[6][7] DCappella made its first appearance on American Idol's Disney Night April 29, 2018.[8] The group gave its first concert performance over Memorial Day weekend 2018 as the opening act to Disney's Beauty and the Beast Live in Concert at the Hollywood Bowl[9] along with ABC's first Idol winner Maddie Poppe.[10] The group's debut self titled album was released on November 16, 2018.[2]

DCappella's first tour started in Jacksonville, Florida, in January 2019 and ended two months later in Oakland, California.[1] Regner was replaced as mezzo by Kalen Kelly in May 2019.[11] On October 25, 2019, they released their first holiday album called Rockin Holiday. In March 2020, Brown was replaced by Kelly Denice Taylor.[12] Taylor left the group on May 9, 2022[13] and Woessner left on February 20, 2023.
