Layne Stein, celebrated as an integral member of the a cappella group VoicePlay, made notable strides in the world of music with his unique contribution of vocal percussion. VoicePlay, which captured hearts during the 4th season of NBC's The Sing-Off, showcases Stein's talents not only in creating rhythm solely with his voice but also as a key writer for the group. Before his acclaim in the music scene, Layne Stein dedicated 14 years to mastering the violin, a pursuit that preceded his vocal performances with VoicePlay. Originally formed as 42Five, the group later rebranded itself as VoicePlay, with Stein playing a significant role in its evolving identity and success.
