Pentatonix Singers Want People To ‘Feel Jesus Through Us’

Although the Grammy Award-winning a cappella group Pentatonix isn’t labeled as Christian, it’s known for its Christmas music and moving renditions of beloved hymns. Two of its vocalists are outspoken about their faith—as well as their efforts to infiltrate culture and show people the gospel’s relevance.

Sallee described how God uses Pentatonix wherever they go, whether in large venues such as Madison Square Garden or at a children’s hospital. “God is everywhere, and he uses us,” added Sallee. “And he uses so many different people in different areas and arenas to just spread his love and because they choose to choose him. It’s really cool, and I’m really passionate about it.”

Sallee, the son of a music pastor, grew up in the church and had a “constant and consistent” walk with God.
