Artist Spotlight: Avi Kaplan

An incredible bass with one of the sweetest souls out there.

If you've followed Pentatonix for a while, you've noticed how incredible they are as a group as well as how talented each member is individually. Avi Kaplan, the bass, is no exception to this. His rich, warm voice has captivated the hearts of many over the years, myself included. When I found out he was releasing a solo album called "Avriel and the Sequoias," my reaction was, well:

On April 29, he released "Fields and Pier" on his Youtube channel, and I gotta say, this is everything I could ask for from him. And that's because it is him.

This folk-style song is a tribute to the first style of music he fell in love with. The gorgeous nature shots reflect the times in his childhood that he spent growing up in the mountains. Also, if you pay attention, you'll notice that there's almost an equal amount of shots focusing on him while the rest focus on his surroundings. He doesn't like being the focus of attention, opting instead to share his world with us, and he did just that in this song.

Avi put his heart and soul into this. Although the full album hasn't been released yet, we can expect to hear and learn more about him through the rest of his music. This music video reminded me why he's one of my favorite artists. He's honest, humble, soulful, and heartfelt. It's a powerful experience when an artist bears their heart through song, and listening to his music is no exception.

I can't wait for his album to come out. If this is just a taste of what's to come, we're in for a real treat.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
