Naturally 7

Naturally 7 is unlike any vocal ensemble you’ve ever heard. No less than Quincy Jones has called them “the best a cappella group in the world”!

They are known worldwide for their extensive tours with Michael Bublé and as guests with Coldplay and Diana Ross. Moreover, the New York-based septet is a band in the classic sense. They create the sounds of guitars, bass, horns, keyboards, drums, and other instruments through the power of their voices. Here, they call their signature style “vocal play.”
