The group was informally created when Jamey Ray was recording an album of arrangements with a 12-member chorus. He recorded the group singing a collection of Disney music and posted it to YouTube. Based on the response and viewership, he organized a group of 11 singers to sing together at events independent of the Disney theme parks, at which nearly all of the members performed on a regular basis. In early 2016, the group released their
Disney Love Medley featuring
Kirstin Maldonado of
Pentatonix and Jeremy Michael Lewis, her then-boyfriend. This video featured three songs about love (
I See the Light from
Tangled, ''You'll Be in My Heart
from Tarzan, and Go the Distance'' from
Hercules) and accumulated more than 30 million views . Over the course of the next four years, Voctave released a self-titled album, numerous Christmas albums featuring both secular and religious music, two albums of the group performing with a symphony orchestra, and two spanning Broadway standards and Disney-themed arrangements. == Discography ==
