About
Also known as: 4:2:Five
VoicePlay started as a group of middle school friends in the Orlando area back in 1997, originally calling themselves 4 The Love before becoming 4:2:Five. Over the years they survived plenty of lineup shuffles, moving from singing on street corners and in bookstores to entertaining at Disney, Universal, SeaWorld and Busch Gardens, and eventually headlining national tours. They turned down a major label deal specifically to stay an a cappella group, which tells you a lot about where their priorities are. They reached a wider audience when they competed on Season 4 of The Sing Off on NBC in 2013, finishing in the top six and landing a spot on the Sing Off Live! Tour, which they were the only group to make for two years running. Their YouTube channel, launched in 2012, became a real engine for growth, and by 2021 they had crossed one million subscribers. As of early 2026 they sit at 1.69 million YouTube subscribers alongside a TikTok following of 1.3 million. The band, now made up of Geoff Castellucci, Layne Stein, Eli Jacobson and Cesar de la Rosa, describes itself as "Original. Imaginative. Ridiculous. A Cappella" and leans into that fully. Their live shows blend comedy and theatrical skits with the music, and a cappella authority Deke Sharon considers them one of the best groups in the game.
