Beatsync is an eight-piece a cappella ensemble from Toronto, Ontario combining eclectic repertoire with dynamic beats and sophisticated arrangements. From pop to electronic to classic soul, Beatsync draws upon diverse influences to craft their unique contemporary sound, interpreting modern hits and deep cuts alike through a playful creative lens.
合唱团Beatsync来自多伦多安大略湖畔，是由八位实力歌手组成的同声律动团，曲风多元，节奏动感，编曲精致。从流行乐到电子乐再到经典灵魂乐，Beatsync利用多样的元素，创造属于自己独特的当代音乐，透过幽默又有创造性的视角诠释现代流行乐和唱片。
Having first crossed paths in various fixtures of Toronto’s fast-growing a cappella scene, these eight dynamic vocalists came together with one goal in mind: to explore the human voice, no instruments necessary. Beatsync aims to be as eclectic and versatile as its members, with repertoire spanning from Björk to to Jessie J and even a detour into Chinese folksong.
阿卡贝拉在多伦多快速发展，在第一次经历清唱现场繁杂的音乐辅助设备后，这八位富有激情的声乐家便走到了一起，他们心中怀着共同的目标：探索人类声音，无需借助乐器。Beatsync希望成员能博采众长，多才多艺，他们的曲目跨度很大，从冰岛歌者比约克，到英国歌者Jessie J，甚至跨到中国的民歌。
Since their formation in 2015, Beatsync has been making waves locally and internationally, including a feature performance as part of Fairchild Television’s 2016 Mandarin Profile Awards, in which the group performed a tailor-made set of English- and Mandarin-language songs beloved to Eastern and Western audiences alike. Soon afterward, the group made their public debut at SING! Toronto Vocal Arts Festival in 2016 with an eclectic set combining intricate a cappella harmonies and diverse soloists with electronic elements and live looping.
自2015年成立以来，Beatsync就在本土和国际上掀起了一股狂潮。
在2016年新时代电视汉语电视颁奖会上，他们表演了一套专门量身定做的、深受东西方观众喜爱的英语和华语音乐集，成为了当场的特色表演节目。不久之后，乐团就在2016多伦多声乐艺术节上首次亮相，他们的歌曲风格多样，复杂的阿卡贝拉和声和多样独奏，融合了电子乐因素和节奏循环。
Since then, Beatsync has continued to perform within Toronto’s thriving arts and music scene as they prepare for their biggest project yet: a tour to China. Moving forward, Beatsync aims to continue to explore the boundaries of their genre, bringing energetic, beat-oriented a cappella music to the masses.
之后，Beatsync开始在多伦多的蓬勃艺术音乐现场上表演，因为他们正准备迄今最大的一个活动：中国巡演。Beatsync希望未来继续拓宽表演风格领域，为大众带来充满活力和节奏感强的阿卡贝拉音乐。

Beatsync is co-directed and conducted by Daniel Boyle and Nick Kotoulas. Daniel, a speech therapist, and Nick, a researcher in chemistry, first met in the a cappella community at the University of Toronto, and have pursued a mutual fascination with vocal music ever since.
Both Nick and Daniel possess a lifelong interest in music. Nick got his start studying classical piano within the Royal Conservatory of Music certificate program, performing in musical theatre in his hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Daniel first studied the guitar and trumpet, playing in jazz, concert and garage bands throughout his teenage years. It was in their early years of university that both Nick and Daniel started to sing, compose and arrange a cappella music, and they haven’t looked back since.
After a year directing TBA, an award-winning a cappella group at the university, the duo decided to create a group of their own, along with six dear and talented friends—and thus became Beatsync. They could not be more excited to continue this collaboration, exploring new horizons overseas with the group.
Beatsync合唱团由丹尼尔和尼克共同担任团长一职，丹尼尔是一名语言医疗师，尼克是一名化学研究员。他们第一次相遇在多伦多大学的阿卡贝拉社团，自此次相遇后，他们就决定共同追寻声乐的魅力。
尼克和丹尼尔对英语保持终身热爱。尼克最初在皇家音乐学院学习古典钢琴，随后在他的故乡—马尼托巴省温尼伯市剧院演出。丹尼尔最开始学习吉他和小号，而爵士乐、音乐会和地下乐队的表演贯穿他的青春期。刚进大学的前几年，尼克和丹尼尔就开始唱歌，创作和改编阿卡贝拉音乐。在音乐这条道路上，他们再也没有回过头。
TBA是多伦多大学屡获殊荣的阿卡贝拉合唱团，尼克和丹尼尔在历经一年TBA的管理后，决定和六个极有才华的好友，创立了属于自己的合唱团，也就是今天的Beatsync，他们对继续合作，开创新的海外事业而激动万分。
