Gabriel Crouch

Born in 1973, I am the 6'5" baby of the group. My musical career began as an eight-year-old in the choir of Westminster Abbey, where I sang a solo at the wedding of HRH Prince Andrew and Miss Sarah Ferguson, and ended when my voice broke and I took up a place at Harrow School. Here I immersed myself in cricket, Latin verse, violin playing, soccer, darts: anything but singing... In 1991, however, I gained a choral scholarship to Trinity College, Cambridge as a countertenor under Dr. Richard Marlow, but mercifully for my fellow singers, my countertenor voice vanished soon afterwards. It was by default therefore, that I came to be a baritone in Trinity College Choir in 1992. While at Cambridge, I read geography, directed my own male voice consort, "Henry's Eight," and captained one of the worst soccer teams to ever grace the university league. After graduation in 1995, I worked for four months as a freelance singer before taking up a place in the king’singers early in 1996.
