Pentatonix began with Kirstin "Kirstie" Maldonado (born May 16, 1992), Mitchell "Mitch" Grassi (born July 24, 1992), and Scott Hoying (born September 17, 1991) who grew up together and were schoolmates at Martin High School in Arlington, Texas.[16] For a local radio show competition to meet the cast of Glee, they arranged and submitted a trio version of "Telephone". Despite losing the competition, their singing sparked attention at their school, and they began performing. Their version of "Telephone" by Lady Gaga featuring Beyoncé subsequently gained attention on YouTube.
