Deke Sharon is Acappella
Who else would I have had on my first show other than Deke Sharon? You name it in acappella and he’s done it, or probably created it, or made it better than it was. When you hear Deke’s name, you often hear “the father of contemporary acappella” following it. Arranger, Producer, Coach, Writer… Deke’s acappella pedigree is well known. the Bubs, CASA, The House Jacks, Straight No Chaser, Committed, Nota, Street Corner Symphony, The Sing Off, Pitch Perfect 1, 2, and 3, Pitch Slapped, In Transit, and the upcoming Pitch Battle on the BBC. Deke is rarely at home and I caught him there and we talked about In Transit, some of its pioneering elements, and what it was like to record a Broadway soundtrack. We cover Pitch Perfect 3, get a sneak peak at Pitch Battle, and also talk at length about acappella finally getting a seat at the grown ups table in the music industry.
