Aside from Mitch Grassi profits with Pentatonix, he’s also found a lot of success online through his Superfruit YouTube partnership with bandmate Scott Hoying. Under the same moniker, the duo has also released music.
Beginnings In Life And Career
Mitch was born in Arlington, but his family relocated to Dallas-Fort Worth because his father found work in the airline sector there, and his mother worked as an instructor, educating dental hygienists. He grew up with an older sister, with whom he shared a deep passion for music, and the two frequently performed and sang songs together. When he was younger, he met and befriended future bandmate Scott Hoying, and the two later met and befriended another future Pentatonix founder, Kirstin Maldonado.
The group got close while performing in musical theater, despite having other commitments that took up their time.
Scott and Mitch eventually rejoined in a performance of “Annie,” before parting up and reconciling in the production of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” Mitch longed to be a successful musician during his adolescence. He was attending Martin High School, which had an emphasis on the arts, at the time when the trio reconnected to form the singing group Pentatonix.
Ascend To Fame
Scott grew interested in creating a capella ensemble after watching the reality competition show “The Sing-Off,” which was holding auditions at the time. They discovered and recruited beatboxer Kevin Olusola and bass vocalist Avi Kaplan because a group of five was required.
The group won the competition, which inspired them to pursue a career in the music industry. They began by performing Cappella renditions of popular songs, which helped them gain a following over time.
They initially got a recording contract but were soon dropped since the company did not believe they had a large enough fanbase. To seek exposure, the band began frequently posting videos on YouTube; some of their most successful hits include versions of “Somebody That I Used to Know” and “We Are Young.” This prompted them to make Extended Play (EP) compilations of these covers, and some of their online releases had millions of views, attracting millions of subscribers.
Their social media presence grew exponentially as their fan base grew.
Success In The Mainstream
Since their formation, the band has published 11 albums, with the majority of them achieving top ten Billboard successes. They have three Grammy Awards and two number-one albums. They travel over the world, including Latin America, Asia, Europe, and North America. Each member of the group contributes to the potential songs they will work on, which they will arrange with the assistance of their producer. In 2015, they published their first original music album, “Pentatonix,” which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, making them the first a cappella group to do so.
Aside from Pentatonix, Grassi collaborates with Hoying regularly for the YouTube channel Superfruit. The channel began as something for the two to do for fun outside of music; they posted skits, comical videos, and duets. It provided a platform for them to be more creative, and as a result, the two gained a larger audience. Superfruit has also allowed the couple to be more open about their sexuality. In 2017, Superfruit published “Future Friends, Part One,” which was followed by “Future Friends, Part Two” later that year.
Public Appearances And Fashion
Mitch is noted for being more fashion-conscious and daring with his outfit choices, and he has stated numerous times that his appearance is a representation of who he is. He is a fan of avant-garde art, as evidenced by the clothes he wears, his haircut, and portions of Pentatonix’s music. He is also interested in retro fashions from the 1980s through the 1990s. As a result of this, he has been published in various magazines, including “InStyle,” which lauded him for his daring fashion choices. He was also voted one of the most eligible gay bachelors by the magazine “Out.”
He has also advocated for the use of clothing in a more genderless manner and has frequently endorsed companies such as Balenciaga. Superfruit is also recognized for wearing clothing by well-known designers such as Haider Ackermann, Maison Margiela, and Alexander Wang. His clothing choice also reflects a contradiction in his attitude, in that he wants to appear menacing or scary while remaining approachable. He plans to study more about clothes design, to eventually collaborate with a well-known designer to launch a clothing line.
Private Life

The two are frequently spotted together in various online posts. Grassi also acknowledged having a brief romance with bandmate Scott Hoying, though the two have since developed a solid friendship that he describes as “stronger than any romantic link.”
Many people have noticed his substantial weight loss in recent years, which has disturbed many of his supporters. He had been diagnosed with cancer, it was later found. While he didn’t go into specifics, the sickness was discovered at an early stage and he had to endure chemotherapy, which severely lowered his weight.
