A Cappella Dreams Can Come True! They Can Make Money Too!
Deke Sharon ladies and gentlemen! This guy is a super awesome guy! He is a super awesome friend. I loved this interview! Deke started the Contemporary A Cappella Society in his dorm room. There is so much to list and I didn't want to miss any of them so...
Instead of trying to list all of his amazing work I just reached over and grabbed his bio. Take a look!
Deke produced "The Sing-Off" worldwide (USA, Netherlands, China, South Africa), which had the highest ratings of any new, unscripted television show in the US in 2009, and was the third highest rated show on NBC in 2010. In addition, Deke served as arranger, on-site music director and vocal producer for Universal's "Pitch Perfect" & "Pitch Perfect 2" & "Pitch Perfect 3" starring Anna Kendrick & Rebel Wilson.
Deke founded the Contemporary A Cappella Society while in college, and is responsible for many seminal a cappella programs, including the CARAs (Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards, ICCAs (International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella), BOCA (Best of College A Cappella Compilations), the first contemporary a cappella conferences (The A Cappella Summit), the Contemporary A Cappella League, the professional ensembles Voasis and Vocalosity, and Camp A Cappella. His latest project for Disney – D Cappella – launched in 2018.
He is also contemporary a cappella's most prolific arranger, having arranged over 2,000 songs, with many of them in print worldwide with Hal Leonard/Contemporary A Cappella Publishing. He has written 5 books: "A cappella Arranging" (2012), "A Cappella" (2015), "The Heart of Vocal Harmony" (2016), "A Cappella Warmups for Pop and Jazz Choir" (2017) and "So You Want To Sing A Cappella" (2017). He is also the vocal orchestrator for the Broadway's first a cappella musical: In Transit (2016).
Oh and don't forget that he founded and directed the House Jacks for over 25 years!!
