baSix
baSix is a remarkable Danish a cappella group consisting of six guys. Spanning pop, jazz, r&b, soul, and rock and blending strong, original compositions with innovative arrangements of timeless songs, baSix has presented first-rate a cappella to fans around the world since 1999. An honorable second place in "Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2001" (the national forerunner of the Eurovision Song Contest), broadcast live on national TV, seriously kick-started the career of the six singers, who have continued to dazzle their audiences ever since.
baSix has performed in concert halls, theaters, clubs, cafés, churches, festivals, at conferences, and private events in Denmark as well as abroad and has appeared on national radio and television numerous times. Latest in November 2004, where baSix performed with (among others) Mick Hucknall (Simply Red), Westlife, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Ana Johnson, Katie Melua in "The great Christmas Show". Next to various guest performances on several other artists' albums, baSix has released three personal albums so far: "The grass" (2001), "Embodiment" (2003) and “Christmastime” (2004). Right after its release, "The grass" broke into the charts and attained the best placing of an a cappella album ever recorded in Denmark, and only a few months later, it earned the group a gold album for selling more than 25,000 copies!
Originally, it was the Italian vocal group Neri Per Caso who inspired the six Danish singers to get together and form a band of their own back in 1995. In the first four years, singing in baSix was no more than a precious hobby, but in 1999, the members of the vocal sextet decided to turn their musical partnership into a professional vocation and work full time with what they all enjoy the most: singing a cappella.

Come Together Right Now Fallen Dining Out Purple Rain Living And Loving It Sweet Misery My Heart Won't Work Like It Used To If You Were My Woman The Right Way Part Of Me Right Now As One |
For their second release baSix has the great idea of getting some of a cappella's finest talents to help them so they engaged the House Jack's Deke Sharon and Britt Quinten of M-Pact to produce the album. A mixture of some fine original songs along with pop classics such as Prince's "Purple Rain" and the Beatles "Come Together" makes for a top-notch contemporary a cappella album worthy of all fan's collections. All songs are in English and the production quality is superb thanks to noted a cappella sound engineer Bill Hare.

Dreamlover Englishman In New York You Can't Hurry Love I Can't Make You You Love Me It Will Take Me All Life Hepsi Senin Mi The Grass Going My Way Smooth Operator How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You Weathered Storm Australian Spring |
The group gives credit to Italian a cappella greats Neri Per Caso as an inspiration for their sound and this debut album does justice to that high standard. The CD was a hit in their native Denmark and was the first a cappella recording ever to make the Danish pop charts where it stayed for 7 weeks selling over 25,000 copies. A great beginning for this fine a cappella sextet.
