SATB Voices a cappella

on the album “The Spirit of the Season”

PREVIEW ONLY

Recordings are available on all major streaming services.

Voctave is an 11-member a cappella group from the Central Florida area. Formed in the winter of 2015 by producer and arranger Jamey Ray, the voices that bring their artistic arrangements to life represent a wealth of diverse backgrounds and musical experiences. Group members have professional roots with Walt Disney World enter-tainment, but their range does not stop there. From gospel music to musical theater, contemporary Christian to barbershop, pop music to choral specialists, Voctave voices have covered it all both in and out of the a cappella realm. Members of Voctave have performed all over the world and can be heard on countless recordings. The group has performed with Grammy, Dove and American Music Award winners. With multiple #1 songs and albums on iTunes, Amazon and Spotify, Voctave has also ranked in the top 25 on Billboard Magazine’s charts. Voctave has received more than 100 million views on their videos. Voctave’s albums are digitally available on all platforms. Voc-tave serves as an Artist-in-Residence at Rollins College.

All of Voctave’s arrangements are created for the exact singers that record them and only one person sings each part. For balance purposes in a choir, as soprano parts go above the staff, it is strongly encouraged for only 1 (2 at the most) soprano to sing those notes. Never should an entire soprano section sing above the staff. This is not the case with the basses. If you have basses that can sing below the staff, the balance will be helped by having a strong foundation.

Originally from Clearwater, Florida, Jamey is a professor of music at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida. A well-known

arranger and composer of choral music, Jamey’s pieces have been top sellers and featured on many state festival lists. His contemporary arrangements have been performed by members of Pentatonix, Avalon, cast members on 30 Rock and The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, American

Idol alumae, and hundreds of Broadway performers. As a performer, Jamey has worked with artists ranging from the

London Symphony Orchestra to Disney’s Voices of Liberty. In 2015, Jamey formed the well-known a cappella group, Voctave, which has multiple #1 songs and albums and has ranked in the top 25 Billboard Magazine’s charts. In addition to singing with Voctave, Jamey produces and arranges its music. He grew up singing from a young age with the prestigious Florida Boychoir, and went onto earn a Bachelor’s degree in Music and Computer Science, specializing in voice and piano, from Rollins College, and a Masters in Music Technology from New York University.
