Naturally 7 is an innovative American music group renowned for their unique a cappella style, which they refer to as “vocal play.” Formed in 1999 in New York City by brothers Roger and Warren Thomas, the group quickly distinguished itself by simulating the sounds of an entire instrumental band using only their voices. Their groundbreaking approach has captivated audiences worldwide, showcasing the versatility and power of the human voice as an instrument.
The group gained significant recognition with their debut album, “Non-Fiction,” released in 2000, followed by a series of successful albums, including “What Is It” (2003) and “Ready II Fly” (2006). Their rendition of Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight,” titled “Feel It (In the Air Tonight),” became a viral sensation, amassing millions of views on YouTube and charting in the Top 3 in several countries outside North America. This success solidified their reputation as a leading force in the a cappella genre.
In 2009, Naturally 7 released “Wall of Sound,” which debuted at #29 on the British Album Charts, further expanding their international presence. Their participation in high-profile events, such as the Royal Variety Performance and the Bermuda Music Festival, showcased their talent to diverse audiences, including collaborations with renowned artists like Michael Bublé.
The release of their CD/DVD “Vocal Play” in 2010 marked another milestone, featuring original tracks and live performances. Their contributions to film soundtracks, including the 2010 animated feature “Animals United,” highlight their versatility and commitment to musical excellence. Naturally 7 continues to inspire and entertain, pushing the boundaries of vocal performance.
