How to Form a Choir with Your Fans

In 2018, I wanted to form a choir to sing on one of my songs, but I wasn’t sure how to do it. Putting one together in Nashville would have been costly, and I didn’t have the space. With so much music work starting to be accomplished remotely, it occurred to me that maybe I could just ask my listeners.

People from all over the world signed up and I sent them the music and instructions. They recorded themselves in their own DIY vocal booths (clothes closets) using their smartphones. After that, they emailed their recordings to me and I arranged them at my studio here in Nashville.

We had a total of 49 singers, including 19 women, 29 men, and one 7-year-old girl (for the win!). Here’s a map that shows where everyone sang from, and you can click on it to have a more detailed look:

Here’s what it looked like once I combined their recordings together.

• Pink – soprano
• Purple – alto
• Orange – harmony
• Green – tenor
• Blue – bass

* The different shades of each color represent voices similar in tone.

And here they are in their DIY vocal booths:

Thanks again to all of you who participated in this choir project. It was an amazing experience, and I’m so grateful to have such a dedicated fanbase.

Love,
Aaron
