43. Deke Sharon and the Business of the A Cappella Revolution

Known as the Father of Contemporary Acappella, Deke Sharon (dekesharon.com) is the man responsible for bringing contemporary a cappella music into the mainstream. Perhaps best known as the music producer for the Pitch Perfect Trilogy and NBC’s The Sing Off, which launched the career of the now multi-platinum Grammy winning group Pentatonix.

He has also written more than 2,000 a cappella arrangements and created many of the organizations that are fundamental to contemporary a cappella today.
