MO5AIC (Mosaic) is a five-man vocal band from the United States. An innovative vocal collaboration, Mosaic combines elements of funk, pop, rock, jazz, R&B, and even opera to create a musical experience produced entirely by the human voice.
In 2002, bass vocalist, Josh Huslig, founded Mosaic, which consists of Joshua Huslig, Heath Burgett, Corwyn Hodge, Jake Moulton and Roopak Ahuja. Some of the members performed in various shows at Walt Disney World and Universal Studios in Orlando, FL. Mosaic quickly became a cruise ship headlining act and corporate entertainment favorite.
The now Las Vegas-based Mosaic moved rapidly from cruise ships and corporate conventions to venues such as opening act for comedian George Wallace at the Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel and Casino and headlining at the Silverton Casino. Mosaic came to Wallace’s attention in early 2006 when one of his associates, Jack McKimmey, from the Flamingo happened to catch Mosaic performing on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship during his vacation. McKimmey purchased Mosaic’s self-produced EP and brought it back with him to Las Vegas to show Wallace. Wallace then invited Mosaic to open for him during his nightly show at the Flamingo for three weeks, but on the second night of their performance, he hired the group for the rest of the year.
Since that time, Mosaic has opened for such superstars as Prince, Stevie Wonder, and Jay Leno. Mosaic also performed alongside Joey Fatone for TV Guide Network’s 51st Grammy Awards red carpet event, which required the band to learn 30 of the year’s nominated songs. Soon after their Grammy red carpet performance, TV Guide Network hired Mosaic to write a custom theme song for its pre-Academy Award promotions. The song, written and performed by Mosaic, received national play throughout the 2009 Oscar season. Currently, Mosaic is a featured act at the V Theater inside Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.
Mosaic is also known throughout the Las Vegas area as staunch supporters of music and arts education in schools. The band frequently donates their time by hosting fundraisers for the Public Education Foundation and has “adopted” West Preparatory Academy in Las Vegas, providing financial support to the school and scholarships to students with outstanding academic achievement. In addition, the group has been featured for many years at "Ribbon of Life", a fundraiser for the HIV/AIDS assistance organization, Golden Rainbow.
