Upon matriculation in 2010, Scott enrolled into the University of Southern California to study Popular Music. He also became a part of the SoCal VoCals, a campus a cappella group, as a baritone vocalist, which helped him to gain experience, as well as confidence on stage.

Pentatonix and “The Sing-Off”

While in college, Scott heard about the audition for the third season of the television singing competition entitled “The Sing-Off”, and recreated the trio with his old friends, Mitch Grassi and Kristian Maldonado, with Avi Kaplan, a vocal bassist, and Kevin Olusola, a well-known beatboxer, eventually joining them to form the a cappella group called Pentatonix, named after the pentatonic scale. Scott subsequently quit his education to concentrate on the group.

They successfully auditioned for the show, and made their debut appearance in the second episode with a cover of the song “E.T.” by Katy Perry, subsequently performing such songs as “Video Killed The Radio Star” by The Buggles, “Born To Be Wild” by Steppenwolf, and “Without You” by David Guetta featuring Usher. Thanks to their talent, the group won the competition with Survivor’s song “Eye Of The Tiger”, which earned them not only $200,000, but also a recording contract with Sony Music.

2012-2013

Upon winning, Scott and the other members moved to Los Angeles, California and started working on their debut EP album, entitled “PTX, Volume 1”, which out came in June of 2012, reaching No. 14 on the US Billboard 200 chart. It consisted of such covers as “Gangnam Style” by PSY, and “Somebody That I Used To Know” by Gotye featuring Kimbra. In November of the same year, they released a Christmas EP entitled “PTXmas”, later re-released as a deluxe edition in the following year, with songs “Go Tell It On The Mountain” and “Little Drummer Boy”, debuting at No. 13 on the US Billboard Hot 100 charts and adding a considerable amount to Scott’s net worth.

Their second EP – “PTX Vol. II” – was released in November of 2013, which they promoted in “The Ellen DeGeneres Show”, increasing their popularity as well as fortune. The EP peaked at No. 10 on the US Billboard 200 chart, and topped the Independent chart.

Thank you @outmagazine for including us in your #OUT100 this year! ❤️???? ————– "Before 2017, Mitch Grassi and Scott Hoying were best known as the cute gay members of the top-selling a cappella group Pentatonix. Now, after releasing a steady stream of peppy songs and videos as the spin-off act Superfruit, the singers and best friends have crafted a new musical identity. Both catch and buoyantly queer, tracks like “Imaginary Parties” and “Worth It (Perfect)” — both off their debut EP Future Friends—are the kind of uplifting tracks that could make struggling LGBTQ kids dance around their living rooms with hope. “We’ve really learned to own who we are and not be afraid of what others think,” Hoying says. “We want to inspire queer youth, and we’ve had feedback from fans saying we’ve helped or saved them.” Grassi, who hints at an upcoming Superfruit tour, says the content of their songs has been resonant, too. “People applaud us for our normalization of queer romantic pronouns,” he says. “That’s sweet, but I couldn’t imagine not writing in my own voice.”"
