    Great job boys. Remember. Pentatonix doesn’t do covers. They do upgrades. 😀

    Kevin has played cello at Carnegie Hall and is a multi lingual musician, fluent in Mandarin.

    Kevin Olusola is a master cellist, as well as beatboxer extraordinaire. He also speaks fluent Chinese, and sings tenor. Oh yeah! He also became a dad this spring. Kaia Olusola was born in April!

    They do occasionally have an instrument but it is always shown when they do. Kevin had a TH-cam video of what he calls cello-boxing (playing cello while beatboxing) and that is how Scott found him and asked him to become a member of the group to go on the tv show The Sing Off. If you want to get an idea of what Kevin can do check out any of his songs on his channel. He is extremely talented!

    Radioactive is an amazing cover that not only features Kevin on his cello but also features Lindsay Stirling on her violin. It’s a really good song! Apocalyptic.

      Papaoutai is a great Stromae cover that includes Kevin’s celloboxing as well as Lindsay Stirlings talents. It’s done in French though you don’t have to know French to appreciate it.

  • @jamesensley3906

    I believe Kevin is credited with developing celloboxing (beatboxing and playing cello simultaneously). It was thru this skill that PTX discovered him and invited him to join the band. SAY SOMETHING, PERFECT and RADIOACTIVE are some other Pentatonix songs in which he does this.

    Kevin is amazing. I have no idea how he can play cello and beat box at the same time. I'd recommend his solo video 'Down', he's so talented!

    This is such a beautiful and powerful rendition with Kevin celloboxing, Kirsten's voice piercing through, Scott doing his thing along with Mitch and Matt holding down the bass. They are amazing. Glad you guys found them. It's nice to see how much you appreciate their obvious talent!

  • @tundiel
    @tundiel 3 ปีที่แล้ว +42

    Kevin isn't human. He's basically an orchestra all on his own. You definitely need to check out his 'KOver' of 'Down'.
    Another solo is Mitch's cover of 'Your Power' by Billie Eilish. Another masterpiece. He wrote, performed, and mixed the piano and synths backing for it, so Another member who can play an instrument AND sing.
    I think they can all play at least one instrument actually. I know Scott can definitely play the piano, but I'm not sure about Matt and Kirsty. Probably though, they're all incredibly gifted musically.
    Thanks for more PTX! Now... can we have more...PTX??😆😆😆

      Kirstin is the only one I'm not sure of... Matt plays drums and "some" piano according to the "introducing Matt Sallee" video on the official page. In a 2018 PTXperience video they were talking about Matt playing those big drums with a mallet during one of their concerts but I forget what song they added it to.

      On top of Kevin playing instruments and singing and beatboxing he's also amazingly smart. He speaks like 9 languages and was pre-med before he withdrew from college to do the sing off (that they ended up winning)!

  • @marymichele340

    Beyonce is also in Say Something, Thank You & Radioactive.

    Great review guys. For starters, I'm happy to read the comments in this thread educating you about Kevin. He actually went to Berkley for the Cello and is an incredibly musician all around. But I wanted to see if you noticed at 4:15 a "shoutout" to "Bad Romance" when they added a little "whoah oh ohhhh". :-)

  • @guinkoo

    His name is Kevin. He’s a Harvard Graduate and when he signed on to PTX he was practicing law. He’s and accomplished Cellist, pianist, and master ‘beat boxer’.

    Kevin is a world class cello player. He's played at Carnegie hall. He also plays keyboards and I'm pretty sure it's the saxophone. It's not the saxophone it's another 1 of the horn instruments. Check out his cover of Marion hills down. His channel is called KO

  • @larrywt656
    @larrywt656 3 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    I like this version WAY better than the original for one simple reason. Kirstie and Scott are life-long friends who have been through a LOT together (they even dated for a while in high school). Who better to convey the emotion that this duet requires than those two? You can tell by the way that they look at each other that there is a lot of REAL emotion between them...and there's no play acting going there at all. BTW, Kevin was already a concert cellist by the time he was a teenager, and he actually invented "cello-boxing" (the skill of beatboxing and playing the cello at the same time), and that's what got him the gig in Pentatonix in the first place. He plays cello in several of their songs. The black and white video with the gold highlights was an homage to both the movie posters for A Star Is Born and the film's soundtrack album cover, which used the same effect.

    Kevin is a multi-talented man. He beatboxes, while playing concert quality cello. He played a concert at Carnegie Hall on the Saxophone when he was younger and won awards. He was in medical school but put that aside when he joined PTX. On top of that, he speaks five languages.
