Pentatonix’s Scott Hoying and Husband Mark Share New Children’s Album Plans Featuring New Baby Girl on the Tracklist

Scott Hoying of Pentatonix and his husband, Mark, said they are incorporating their newborn daughter, Birdie, into their next creative project: a children’s album titled “Little Birdie’s Big Symphony,” due Aug. 20. The release, announced in a new report, is positioned as a family-oriented music offering built around a theme of imagination and wonder tied to the album’s namesake.

According to the announcement, the album will include guest appearances from Christina Perri, Kina Grannis, and Trout Fishing for America. The involvement of multiple artists is presented as part of the record’s broader musical palette, while the Hoying family’s new addition is described as a central element of the album’s concept and personal backdrop.

The report also frames Birdie as more than an inspiration, indicating the couple’s baby girl will be connected to the album as part of its rollout. No additional details were provided in the report about how Birdie will appear on the album beyond the connection described around the project.

The album’s timing places it at the start of the late-summer release window, when labels and artists often target back-to-school family attention and weekend listenership. The Aug. 20 date also gives the artists time to prepare promotional materials ahead of the release, including track announcements and listening previews, though the report did not list specific pre-release singles.

While Scott Hoying is widely known for his work with Pentatonix, the new children’s album represents a separate lane focused on younger audiences and family listening. The report did not describe any accompanying live performances, tour plans, or visual components, instead emphasizing the album’s release date and participating artists.

The announcement did not provide additional production credits, track-by-track breakdown, or licensing details, including whether any songs are cover versions or wholly original compositions. It also did not specify the formats included in the release, such as digital-only availability versus physical copies.

For fans and families following the Hoyings’ work, the next milestone is the Aug. 20 release itself. After publication, additional information typically surfaces around the tracklist, participating artists’ roles, and how the project will be marketed across streaming and retail platforms. As of the report date, those elements were not included in the materials describing the album’s concept and featured guests.
