Sean Altman is considered "the father of modern a cappella." For 11 years, he was a lead singer, arranger and composer for the pioneering group Rockapella, with whom he released nine CDs and starred in the five-year PBS-TV series 'Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?' Altman composed the ubiquitous 'Carmen Sandiego' theme song, which continues to get international airplay.

An a cappella supergroup, each member of this all-vocal powerhouse quartet is a bona fide star in his own right: Sean Altman, Charlie Evett and Steve Keyes are former founding members of the pioneering group Rockapella, and Westfield native Kevin Weist is a renowned bald vocal guru and acclaimed TV writer. Collectively they have established themselves as the "go to" vocal group for rock, doo-wop, jazz and even barbershop.
