About
He's Singing at 963 Hz Frequency refers to a series of memes based on a clip of British singer performing "Pie Jesu" on the British talent show competition Britain's Got Talent. The clip has frequently been incorrectly captioned with a notice that the boy is singing in the 963 Hz frequency, which, according to pseudoscientific beliefs, is thought to have healing properties and which has been referred to as "divine frequency" or "god frequency". Online, the captioned clip of the performance has been paired with various unrelated music as a way of humorously describing that music as "divine".
Origin
On April 16th, 2023, episode 2 of the 16th season of British talent show competition Britain's Got Talent premiered on ITV. In the episode, 13-year-old British singer Malakai Bayoh performs a vocal piece "Pie Jesu". A YouTube[1] upload made on the same day garnered over 11 million views in two years.
On April 27th, 2023, TikTok[2] account @1world_of_talents posted a clip of Bayoh's performance, making an incorrect claim that the treble "can hit the 963 HZ note". The video (shown below) received over 744,000 likes in two years. During his performance, Bayoh reached the highest note frequency of 880 Hz;[3] moreover, singing does not typically involve maintaining the same note for a prolonged period of time.

The claim that 963 Hz frequency has special properties stems from spiritual beliefs in "Solfeggio frequencies", a set of tones thought to have healing properties. The 963 frequency in particular has been referred to as "the god frequency" and "divine frequency".[4]
Spread

For example, on December 30th, 2023, TikTok[6] user @saint_bhad made a repost that garnered over 217,000 likes in one and a half years.
