Scott Hoying of Pentatonix released vivacious live versions of his solo single “Mars.”

A three-time Grammy award-winning artist, Hoying has sold over 10 million albums worldwide as part of the multi-platinum-selling a cappella group Pentatonix, and he just released two brand new live versions of his breakthrough single “Mars” via BMG. These include an acoustic version and a choir version.

The song was penned by Hoying and produced by Jon Levine. It breaks new creative ground featuring his deeply personal lyrics about self discovery, overcoming adversity and profoundly, love. It is so personal to him that others are bound to find it relatable.

On his new song “Mars,” he said, “It is very special to me, it’s not only a song I’m very proud of but also releasing it is such a symbol of all the self work I’ve done over the years. It’s a song I wrote from such an honest place about the love of my life and how much he impacted me as a person.”

“I’ve always dreamed of releasing solo music, but for a multitude of different reasons I never did. This year has been really special and transformative for me so it felt like the right time to go for it,” Hoying added.

Hoying and his Pentatonix band mates are nominated for a 2023 Grammy Award for “Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album” for their album “Evergreen.”
