Vive was a London-based six-member a cappella ensemble active between 2012 and 2014. The group consisted of five male vocalists and one female singer, covering parts including bass, baritone, two tenors, male alto, and soprano. Their style was influenced by modern a cappella groups such as Take 6 and The Real Group.
In 2013, they secured victory at The Voice Festival UK final, earning the Ward Swingle Award in recognition of their exceptional originality, musical excellence, and superior arrangement skills.
The ensemble ceased operations towards the end of 2014.
