Avi Kaplan, an American singer-songwriter hailing from Visalia, California, has carved a distinctive niche in the folk music scene with his deep bass voice, introspective lyrics, and soulful melodies. Kaplan gained prominence as a member of the a cappella group Pentatonix, which skyrocketed to fame after winning the third season of "The Sing-Off" in 2011. In May 2017, he announced his departure from Pentatonix to pursue a solo career, which allows him to focus on a more folk-driven musical direction that he personally resonates with.

Since embarking on his solo journey, Kaplan has released a critically acclaimed EP titled "I’ll Get By" in 2020, which marked his transition into the world of folk and showcases his vocal depth and songwriting prowess. His discography reflects a deep connection with nature and personal growth, a theme that is elegantly woven through his most recent releases such as "Floating On A Dream" and "Healing." Kaplan’s work is complemented by collaborations with other artists, like the harmoniously-rich "All Is Well" featuring Joy Williams. With his music, Avi Kaplan continues to create a soothing blend of modern folk that invites listeners to reflect, connect, and find solace in his artful storytelling.
