SENZA A Cappella
SENZA is so named because the word sounds similar to the Cantonese phrase meaning ‘hoarse’. It is Italian for ‘without’, which is fitting for its a cappella singing style. The group debuted in 2018 and is the first vocal group to break into the mainstream music scene in Hong Kong. Since 2009, the group has strived to promote a cappella singing, and its music video and cover songs have reached over 8 million views on YouTube.
In 2020, SENZA catapulted into the mainstream music scene with its two chart-topping demos I Reach Out to Hold Myself and Stories, becoming the first Hong Kong vocal group to be nominated for the Ultimate Song Chart Awards and “Favourite Music Group” award. In the same year, SENZA – the only Hong Kong group to be nominated – was nominated for “Best Original Music of the Year” and “Best Music Video of the Year” at the 2020 Beehive Awards. The group released their debut album Circle of Fifths in 2021, and performed two sold-out concerts in the same year.
SENZA has performed in numerous large-scale events, such as the Chill Club Awards 2021, the Drive In Ultra: WEE are Ronald Cheng drive-in concert, the Asian-Pop Music Festival and the Ultimate Song Chart Awards Presentation. Artists that the group has collaborated with include Eman Lam, AGA, Mirror’s Jer Lau and Ian Chan, Kay Tse, Jan Lamb, G.E.M., Jason Chan, Juno Mak, C AllStar, FAMA, and JW Joey Wong, to name a few.
