So true. Much of life is the work we do like Kevin practicing the cello. Other things are purely things in life that are by chance, serendipity us older folks say, like the friend videotaping Kevin and the others seeing him. And PTX was formed as it was meant to be. Life is a cloth woven from work and if we are lucky, some serendipity As well.
Everything lined up for all the group members to join a one in trillion group. They are individually talented beyond measure and as a group unstoppable.
The world would never know Kevin as the immense talent that he is, or Pentatonix. He's such a part of the whole that makes them the versatile and great group we all know. Likely he would have followed his other dream of becoming a doctor and doing missionary work in China and such places. I'm so glad he followed the path to PTX.
Kevin is a gift. His dad is a Doctor from Nigeria and his mom is a medical prof from Grenada. Kevin was born with Perfect pitch He lived and studied for a year in China and speaks fluent Mandarin. He is classically trained on cello Plays a wild sax Honestly he is so talented and by all accounts manages to be a humble wonderful person
When I was reading this, I read, "He plays a wild sax," as, you guessed it, "he plays a wild sex." I was wondering what the hell that was. I went crazy trying to figure it out until I finally read it the correct way. Oh, geeze.
Started piano at age 4, cello at 6 and sax at 10. Has played twice at Carnegie Hall. Songwriter, arranger, producer. The band member with perfect pitch.
@@WollisWorld He also speaks Mandarin Chinese fluently, along with what he says is a "little" French, German, Spanish, Nigerian...I'm telling ya, ALL of Pentatonix are aliens - I never see them breathe either...think about it 🤔🤔😂😂
What you don't see in this video is Scott, Mitch and Kirstie offstage just drinking it all in. They are all so in awe of, and deeply appreciate, each other's talents.
Truly! The time Kirstin bumbled out on stage after it giggling in to the mic that she was so engrossed that she almost forgot to put her shoes back on going back on stage
The thing about this band is how they all support each other’s side projects. I love how Matt gets up there and helps his bandmate be as amazing as he could possibly be.
Yes. Have you seen Kevin on the podcast with a.... basketball player maybe? Can't remember his name but I remember he's also nigerian american as Kevin. Kevin and he clicked really well and they talked about how the band really support each other and hype each other up. If you've not seen it and can find what I mean (it's fairly recent, within a year), it's a great listen
Or maybe Kevin is helping Matt further develop his talents. Remember, Kevin is the oldest member of Pentatonix, and Matt is the youngest. And Matt and Kevin together make up the rhythm section. They work together so closely that people see Matt singing the bass notes that make Kevin's percussion sound so full and think Matt must be another beatboxer, because their movements are so much in time with each other. And Matt's bass is a good deal more subtle than Avi's. Frequently people never even realize they're hearing a bass. The same people who think Matt must be another beatboxer think that Kevin's percussion is being enhanced electronically to make it sound so full, when the truth is Matt is the enhancement. I don't know how aware Kevin is of some of the comments made by reactors and TH-cam pentaholics, but it must grate on him to see the way Matt is sometimes dissed. Maybe he wanted Matt's help on this as a way to show off Matt's talents to everyone, and to help Matt grow as a performer. Or, more likely, maybe it cuts both ways. Pentatonix acts like a family. A loving, FUNCTIONAL family. Anything that benefits one family member benefits the family as a whole. Matt is obviously having fun being part of Kevin's big number, and his involvement keeps Kevin from having to start the "Kevin, Kevin, Kevin" chant himself. It works for everybody.
His professor at a college in China encouraged him to combine cello and beat boxing. It took him a year to figure out how to do that. His persistence and discipline is something I really admire. And extreme, bountiful talent.
If you were writing a novel about this amazing a cappella band that takes the world by storm, your editor MIGHT let you get away with a contratenor who has a range of just over 6 octaves, and a bass whose low notes blow out speakers in live performances. But he or she would draw the line at Kevin. The man is a polymath. Polymaths are the people geniuses look at and say "Gee, I wish *_I_* was that smart!" He has a pre-med degree from Yale and had already been accepted to Yale Medical School. He'd performed at Carnegie Hall twice as a teenager. His life could have gone in so many directions, and he chose to become a professional beatboxer. More; when they lost that recording contract they'd "won" on _The Sing-Off,_ he DIDN'T say "That's it. I'm out of here. I can still become a surgeon." He stuck with them, because that's who he is. And I can't believe any editor would let you create a character that improbable in a novel. Because truth is stranger than fiction.
Yep, accoustic, too. You can see him play accoustic in "Shallow," "Radioactive," "Say Something," and "Perfect," among others. The dancers here are Cost & Mayer. At their Hollywood Bowl concert the dancer was Lil Buck. I bet he'd love to work with Les Twins!
His parents are now very proud of him. His psychologist father has been known to recommend Pentatonix music to his patients because he says it's uplifting and makes people feel better. Kevin also has an online ministry podcast.
I think what I love about them getting into Singoff is I think Kevin arrived less than 24 hours prior to the audition, and they'd only picked Avi up a couple weeks before. And they STILL got on the show out of god knows how many auditions, and then WON.
Another story, they met for the 1st time 1 day before the show to rehearse and go on. Freakin talented DUDE, that's a DUDE there man!!! That's a real thing.
Love Kevin❤️ He is amazing. You realize the person playing the drums was Matt their Base singer. The whole group is soooo talented. Their story is so inspiring. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Scott IS funny....yes. His dad is a doctor and mom is a nurse. They were originally against the idea but look at him now. You pronounce it O'LOOSH-uh-luh. He learned cello boxing when he was in a special college program as an undergrad when he studied in China for 6 months. He speaks Mandarin. His favorite music is classical music....being classically trained in cello. He takes his electric cello on tour. His regular cello is named Beyonce and it was challenging to take it on tour because it is more fragile than his electric cello. He shreds a mean cello.
Saw a clip of KO out for a run whilst beatboxing… said it helped him build up stamina for all their live concerts… best of all, he’s a beautiful human being.
I'm from Owensboro, Ky. Still live here! Kevin's father is a Dr. He was my physician for years. I remember the good Dr. Olusola saying " do you know my son Kevin? He just flew to California. He's going to be on TV, he's joined an a capella group!" No joke! The rest is history. His whole family are good people, and so is Kevin!❤❤🎉🎉🎉
I'm so happy that you reacted to this awesome performance by the genius Kevin Olusola. Glad that you liked it. He is incredible. Matt was fire on drums also. Kevin has a segment at every Pentatonix concert. Matt and Kevin also have a hype segment at every concert. They get the crowd excitedly participating with singing along and dancing along. It's fun. The two dancers are TikTok stars Cost n' Mayor and they are good friends with Scott.
If this is how good this young man is right know can you imagine how good he'll be in another 10 years and its very impressive that he playes 3 other instruments and speaks 2 or 3 other languages
Another long time Pentaholic here who found you today through other PTX reactions you did. I enjoy all types of music but trained classically on the flute. I don't know if people get how talented Kevin is on the cello. There is a PBS radio show called "From the Top" which showcases the best high school (some junior high) age classical music performers in the country. Kevin was on it twice.
Yes I have seen the brothers from France who are amazing. Couldn't imagine being Kevin's parents and being there watching their son perform this. Kevin also speaks fluent Mandarin from his schooling in China. He has a his own channel also called KO.
This bit was in the middle of their Christmas concert this past year. It was insane being in the middle of all that energy and excitement!! One of my best memories!
As someone mentioned, you can see him play his acoustic cello "Beyonce" whenever it is in one of their music videos. I know early on he played it during concerts but I'm not sure if he brings it anymore in recent years on tour.
Pentahaulic here and I have always been astonished and amazed by Kevin’s talents. He’s an even better human being believe it or not! Thank you for another awesome reaction! Loved your shout out to parents encouraging them to get kids involved. It’s so important!! ❤️
I got the absolute honour of being at the first 2 shows this was performed live. When I tell you the first show at the Hollywood bowl was the most electrifying experience I've ever had at a concert in my entire life. The whole Hollywood bowl show was amazing but my jaw was on the floor the entire time when Kevin debuted this performance. You really need to watch the Hollywood bowl version it was absolutely masterful. There's a special guest in that performance that you might have heard of🤷🏿♀️. Also since you mentioned Les twins the French dancer's ( I love them). Great reaction 👏🏾✌🏾
I got to see them in Nashville this past December - 3rd row! This video was part of their Christmas show. It was amazing! A good friend of mine worked for Kevin's dad, in the same town my mom and dad were from. He was so honestly humble when I got to talk to him, we had fun chatting! Kentucky girl here!
Pure amazement!!! Loved it. No other can replicate the awesomeness that is Kevin O. What you want to bet there's kids out there right now trying to do this?? I wish them all the luck to make their dreams come true! Thanks for another great reaction. Sending you love from Texas!!
Yes he does play the acoustic cello he also placed 2nd in a classical competition is fluent in mandarin spent 18 months in china at one of their top universities
I would love to see you react to Kevin’s covers of “Human Nature” and “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood “. They don’t have as many reactions on them as they should since he doesn’t beatbox in them. He’s a great singer and deserves for people to experience other sides of his musicality.
Another fun reaction, thanks! Whenever I watch/listen to Kevin I think of Tom Lehrer's intro to his semi-biographical song "Alma": "It's people like that who make you realize how little you've accomplished. It is a sobering thought, for example, that when Mozart was my age, he had been dead for two years!" 🤓
Thank you so much for sharing your reaction to Kevin! Thank you also for sharing your words of encouragement and wisdom on the pursuit of passions, talents, and how to inspire our children to do the same! Your positivity shines through!
Kevin might be an advanced human from the future sent back to show us our potential. Or Kevin could be the DaVinci of our time. Kevin is such a true genius and a musical genius. He has so many talents in him I can't believe he hasn't self-combusted. Can play multiple instruments, sing, beatbox, write, compose, speaks multiple languages, perfect pitch, as if that wasn't enough, he was pre-med at Yale. He is also a humble and wonderful human. Maybe when he is done making music, he can become of Nobel Laureate after curing cancer and brokering world peace. He has a regular cello named Beyonce and the electric cello is named Mr. Carter
Our son won a football state championship last fall and had only played tackle football for two years, he played baseball growing up and just had his last hs game of season, he played soccer, ran cross country, did pole vault, tennis, Boy Scouts, server at church, etc. having had all those experiences he found football and baseball are where his heart lies now that he’s in high school.
You can do anything that you want! you have to be hungry enough to get it! Kevin is true testimony! Kevin you are amazing and. your parents must be so proud. Your. such a humble person.
Kevin is a Unicorn...as are all the Pentaonix members. LOL Yale Grad, Cello Boxer (which was a term named for him) speaks fluent Japanese, plays multiple other instruments, has a gorgeous voice...its ridiculous the amount of talent that young man has in him. I could just watch a K.O. concert, his section of the PTX concerts were always one of my favorite parts for sure!!! ❤
I just found you tonight. I was looking for some PTX reaction videos I've never seen before and there you were! I love, your passion and enthusiasm for PTX. I love, love, love the fact you don't take up half the time talking, and jabbering on, and on, and on. You're the first one of the reaction videos I have subscribed to. So keep up the good work and keep making your comments short and sweet and we'll get along just fine!
Wolli, man i broke one of my cardinal rules. I dont listen to reactors until I've watched it on the original, with a like and subscribe. Im heading to remedy the situation right now.idk that id have run across this on my own, thanks for giving me something interesting with my first cup of coffee this morning. Have a great day man!
Kevin's parents met while both working on medical degrees in California and lived in a couple of places in the US before choosing to live in Kentucky, partly because they thought it was better for their children not to grow up in a large US city.
Im surprised they aren't in more as those two guys are phenomenal - came across them at WOD 2014 and just did a jaw drop!@@WollisWorld th-cam.com/users/sgaming/emoji/7ff574f2/emoji_u1f44d.png
Imagine his friend never video recorded him at school playing the cello ..Prob wouldn’t be the Pentatonix as we know today ..What’s your thoughts?

I think they would have still found another beatboxer- but as brilliant as Kevin? I doubt it.
I had just commented about how they found Kevin in another of your videos. Didn't realize you had this one up!
Kevin is a gift. His dad is a Doctor from Nigeria and his mom is a medical prof from
Grenada.
Kevin was born with
Perfect pitch
He lived and studied for a year in China and speaks fluent Mandarin.
He is classically trained on cello
Plays a wild sax

Kevin is AWESOME, any parent would be proud of this amazing young man.
Right their money was well spent on him
Imagine being his parents, sitting right there when a whole arena chants your sons name. wow
Let's not forget about Matt, he did a good job too.
His professor at a college in China encouraged him to combine cello and beat boxing. It took him a year to figure out how to do that. His persistence and discipline is something I really admire. And extreme, bountiful talent.
Matt is also multitalented, he's the one playing extra drums in this piece!
The dancer that performed Kevin's 5th with Kevin at the Hollywood Bowl was FIRE. He was astonishingly good. Worth a watch.
You can tell you're enjoying this - you've got that "stank" face! His mastery of both of his instruments (cello and voice) is phenomenal!
Oh u really know me now lol

I have heard PTX fans says Kevin is under appreciated. They do give him his time to shine. That makes me really happy.
I believe on camera he’s not vocal enough so people pick up on that they remember the loudest ones
Kevin is unbelievable with this performance. Nice backup with Matt on the drums.
Yeah I ain’t see that so another thing you guys just taught me is that he’s been there too lol
His parents are now very proud of him. His psychologist father has been known to recommend Pentatonix music to his patients because he says it's uplifting and makes people feel better. Kevin also has an online ministry podcast.
Kevin is the reason my kid started learning beatboxing
That’s inspiring
Kevin is amazing has perfect pitch. The drums were played by the bass (Matt)
And Matt playing the drums!! I hope I get to see that at the Jacksonville show in August. They are ALL so talented!
I think what I love about them getting into Singoff is I think Kevin arrived less than 24 hours prior to the audition, and they'd only picked Avi up a couple weeks before. And they STILL got on the show out of god knows how many auditions, and then WON.

Thanks
Love Kevin❤️ He is amazing. You realize the person playing the drums was Matt their Base singer. The whole group is soooo talented. Their story is so inspiring. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So Matt was always there too then
MATT joined them around 2017ish... when Avi the Bassist left for personal and familial reasons. But Avi helped them find Matt.
@@dawnmarieallenkent2495 Avi had nothing to do with finding Matt. That is internet lore.

Yeah was super dope right

Loved this performance so much, was lucky to be live at Rupp Arena where this performance was. It’s amazing how gifted but humble Kevin is
The talent is honestly upsetting us mortals we don't deserve to feel this inadequate go away sir.
Lil
I can't walk and chew gum at the same time he is amazing
Lol I think the pentatonix can lol
@@WollisWorld They have to be the hardest working musical performers around.
Ikr? I feel like I've wasted my life or something 🤓
Born and raised in Lexington, KY!! The entire Commonwealth is so proud of KO
I saw this live and it was mind blowing! Of course he got a standing ovation!
Yes I have seen the brothers from France who are amazing. Couldn't imagine being Kevin's parents and being there watching their son perform this. Kevin also speaks fluent Mandarin from his schooling in China. He has a his own channel also called KO.
The dancers are Cost n’ Mayor. They toured with Pentatonix on their Christmas tour.

Kevin is such a special human. It almost makes you mad 😂
Just in case you hadn't heard, Pentotonix just got their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
They deserve it
Kevin can shred! I love Pentatonix. I was lucky enough to see them live in at Busch Gardens Tampa in 2015
Yes, Kevin is a different kind of animal!! That man has put in the work!! I truly believe there is nothing he can’t do if he sets his mind to it!
When he started playing that Cello... "Master and Commander" all over, and he really wasn't trying all that hard.
Kevin's 5th and Matt on drums!!❣❣
As someone mentioned, you can see him play his acoustic cello "Beyonce" whenever it is in one of their music videos. I know early on he played it during concerts but I'm not sure if he brings it anymore in recent years on tour.

AWESOME!! Love KO 🥰
Great intro, Scott! Shout out to Matt on the drums! Magnificent 👏🏽 ❤😊
KO is a freak of nature.
So pleased you enjoyed it. Great reaction
Thanks glad u liked it
Kevin would have made an excellent doctor. But he loves music and we love his love of music.
And what's fun, is that is just a little interlude in the middle of a PTX show.
I got to see them in Nashville this past December - 3rd row! This video was part of their Christmas show. It was amazing! A good friend of mine worked for Kevin's dad, in the same town my mom and dad were from. He was so honestly humble when I got to talk to him, we had fun chatting! Kentucky girl here!

Thanks for another great reaction.
Sending you love from Texas!!
I am from Kentucky and live very close to Owensboro!! I love Pentatonix!! Hey are my favorite!
Yes he does play the acoustic cello he also placed 2nd in a classical competition is fluent in mandarin spent 18 months in china at one of their top universities
I would love to see you react to Kevin’s covers of “Human Nature” and “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood “. They don’t have as many reactions on them as they should since he doesn’t beatbox in them.
He’s a great singer and deserves for people to experience other sides of his musicality.
So glad you chose to do this!
I ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ PTX, all of them are maga talented... but i agree with your assessment that he is "other worldly".
Kevin is very talented...glad i found this reaction thank you
You’re welcome
I told ya….blew the roof off! It was awesome to witness! ❤❤
wait til your hear Kevin play saxophone at Carnegie Hall.
Is there anything he can’t do sheesh lol
This was absolutely 🔥🔥🔥love his talent and how humble he is. Thanks for sharing❤
Another fun reaction, thanks! Whenever I watch/listen to Kevin I think of Tom Lehrer's intro to his semi-biographical song "Alma": "It's people like that who make you realize how little you've
accomplished. It is a sobering thought, for example, that when
Mozart was my age, he had been dead for two years!" 🤓
Ahahahaha, I was just playing that intro for my D-i-L the other day 👵 ...and yeah, KevinO is exactly the sorta person that applies to 😎
Kevin is magnificent! Watch his video “Down”, incredible!
Thank you so much for sharing your reaction to Kevin! Thank you also for sharing your words of encouragement and wisdom on the pursuit of passions, talents, and how to inspire our children to do the same! Your positivity shines through!
My father is from Kentucky, so I still have family there.
KEVIN 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey AJ hope your day going well thanks for watching
@@WollisWorld Doing well, really enjoying your PTX journey. So many other gems to discover and I’m here for the ride ❤️🔥🙌
He is amazing!!!!!!!
I can totally see Les Twins riffing off Kevin's music. Matching their musicality to those riffs. That would be perfect!
Kevin might be an advanced human from the future sent back to show us our potential. Or Kevin could be the DaVinci of our time. Kevin is such a true genius and a musical genius. He has so many talents in him I can't believe he hasn't self-combusted. Can play multiple instruments, sing, beatbox, write, compose, speaks multiple languages, perfect pitch, as if that wasn't enough, he was pre-med at Yale. He is also a humble and wonderful human.
Maybe when he is done making music, he can become of Nobel Laureate after curing cancer and brokering world peace.
He has a regular cello named Beyonce and the electric cello is named Mr. Carter
The only constant in this world is change.
Our son won a football state championship last fall and had only played tackle football for two years, he played baseball growing up and just had his last hs game of season, he played soccer, ran cross country, did pole vault, tennis, Boy Scouts, server at church, etc. having had all those experiences he found football and baseball are where his heart lies now that he’s in high school.
Yeah u have to broaden their horizons
OMG yes the Twins That would have been amazing
I love Matt getting out there on the drums too!
I've been waiting for you to react to this, I knew you would love it! Kevin is a beast and we love him. Great reaction.
You can do anything that you want! you have to be hungry enough to get it! Kevin is true testimony! Kevin you are amazing and. your parents must be so proud. Your. such a humble person.

LOL Yale Grad, Cello Boxer (which was a term named for him) speaks fluent Japanese, plays multiple other instruments, has a gorgeous voice...its ridiculous the amount of talent that young man has in him. I could just watch a K.O. concert, his section of the PTX concerts were always one of my favorite parts for sure!!! ❤
Kevin is a genius, at everything!
Kevin is a genius !😊
I don't know if it's been mentioned, but he also plays the saxophone as well. Probably others, as well. He is awesome!
I heard
I just found you tonight. I was looking for some PTX reaction videos I've never seen before and there you were! I love, your passion and enthusiasm for PTX. I love, love, love the fact you don't take up half the time talking, and jabbering on, and on, and on. You're the first one of the reaction videos I have subscribed to. So keep up the good work and keep making your comments short and sweet and we'll get along just fine!
Lol thanks
You are so darn refreshing. Love your commentary.
Thanks
Wolli, man i broke one of my cardinal rules. I dont listen to reactors until I've watched it on the original, with a like and subscribe. Im heading to remedy the situation right now.idk that id have run across this on my own, thanks for giving me something interesting with my first cup of coffee this morning. Have a great day man!
Kevin is amazing and Les Twins are too and would be a dope addition to the show.
Kevin's parents met while both working on medical degrees in California and lived in a couple of places in the US before choosing to live in Kentucky, partly because they thought it was better for their children not to grow up in a large US city.
Their cover of Kiiara's 'Gold' is amazing, please do a reaction.
I knew you'd love this one! It is SUCH Fire!!
Wow! I’m really, really enjoying this trip through PTX with you!!
I think this was from the concert I went to, words sound same across shows but it’s the outfits that look the same
Completely agree with you Les Twins would have been awesome! What an unbelievable talent🤩
Right
Im surprised they aren't in more as those two guys are phenomenal - came across them at WOD 2014 and just did a jaw drop!@@WollisWorld th-cam.com/users/sgaming/emoji/7ff574f2/emoji_u1f44d.png
