Peter Hollens, a talented singer and songwriter from Oregon, began his musical journey during his college years at the University of Oregon, where he joined an a cappella group. His passion for music grew from there, leading him to work with renowned labels like Sony and Epic Records.

In addition to recording for these companies, Hollens also produces his own music from his home studio in Oregon. His career has seen him collaborate with a variety of artists, including groups such as the Backbeats, Committed, and the Swingle Singers, showcasing his versatility and dedication to vocal music.

In 2011, Hollens took his passion for music to YouTube. His channel became a launchpad for many successful collaborations, capturing the hearts of viewers worldwide. One of his standout videos features his rendition of Josh Groban’s “You Raise Me Up.” This cover became an instant hit, reaching an impressive 10 million views. It’s no surprise, though, considering the emotion and power Hollens brings to the song.

As Peter took the stage, the atmosphere was filled with anticipation. He began the opening lines of “You Raise Me Up,” his voice soaring through the venue. The magic truly began when the choir of 200 children joined in. The unity and power of so many voices blending together was mesmerizing.

With each rising harmony, the song grew more powerful, reaching a breathtaking crescendo that left the audience in awe. There’s something deeply moving about hearing so many voices come together in perfect harmony—it’s a moment that captures the true beauty of music.
