[8] The Urban Vocal Group was originally established in December 2007 by programmer and musician Charlie Fletcher with the assistance of fellow singer-songwriter Amba Tremain, and Singing & Voice Specialist Sally Stanton.

[10][11][12] In 2014, the group received a £53,000 grant by The Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport through their representative division, The National Foundation for Youth Music,[13] allowing the charity to expand their quota, including the area served from their initial Havant-based 30-seat venue to larger venues at Portsmouth Guildhall from September 2014, which helped to accommodate for higher attendance rates.

[17] ‌ The Urban Vocal Group have performed at venues such as The House of Commons, New Theatre Royal, BBC Radio Solent and notably at the Kings Theatre, guesting with BRIT Award-winning vocal group BLAKE,[18] as well as with singer-songwriter Chesney Hawkes at Portsmouth Guildhall in July 2016,[19] before performing there alone in January 2018 for their tenth annual show.

[20][21] The UVG also sold-out the 500-seat venue Portsmouth Pyramids Centre, for their annual show on 4 December 2016,[22] accompanied by singer-songwriter Marley Blandford and youth streetdance group, Most Wanted.

[23] The group have also performed at events such as at Britain's Got Talent auditions in Churchill Square, Brighton[24] as well as the one-off Portsmouth Summer Show in 2016, Southsea Bandstand and Victorious Festival in 2016, 2017 and 2018.
