Dad, Kevin is an alien unicorn who eats a drum kit for breakfast daily. He was taught how to sing by Avi, until they discovered that he was a tenor, and then Mitch took over. Kevin was classically trained on the cello and invented celloboxing, which is what drew Scott's attention on UA-cam. Kevin also plays saxophone. Congratulations on getting KO'D.
Name your helmet. You need your security helmet.
Roflmfao.
Heidi, I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when young Kevin announced to his parents that he was not going to medical school. He'd just graduated from Yale and had been accepted into Yale's school of medicine. I'd heard he spoke 4 languages. English, probably Yoruba as his parents had emigrated from Nigeria and were of that tribe. Also I'd heard he spoke Mandarin Chinese. What the 4th was or if he spoke more than 4 I haven't a clue. I'm not surprised he's gifted in both science and music as the two seem to compliment each other. He is also a devote Christian and again "I heard" he only agreed to join the group for the Sing Off competition and if they promised he'd never be asked to sing vulgar lyrics. They're all talented off the charts and Matt who replaced Avi had graduated Berkeley School of Music. Pentatonix chose correctly when they found those two young men. BTW, you're correct, your Dad should name his unicorn security guard.
@@orenda8220 I was randomly clicking on PTX videos a few months ago, the interview kind and found some that were where fans got to meet the families of PTX and ask questions. Someone asked his mom about what their reaction was when he, Kevin, told them. They laughed and said that they were not happy. His sister was there, and she was in pharmacy school. If I remember correctly, I think she said that Kevin was paying for her schooling. I've heard that he now speaks 7 languages.
Thanks Heidi. I know for sure that he's now able to more than pay for any education she wants. Have you seen pictures of his new baby. Beautiful little girl. I believe he married a Caucasian girl which isn't a big deal as all my 4 children, 44, 40, 40 (not twins one's adopted) and 33 year old. Was much more uncommon back then. But my dad told me if it was true love then hold on tight regardless of what the world said. Not bad for a 100% Irishman. I miss him. It'll be 10 years since he died this ST. Patrick's Day. My kid brother put it right. Our dad was a great Paddy. Died on St. Patrick's Day so we could mourn and get drunk on the same day. Not true as I actually don't like alcohol and my brother's, 1 works at the Pentagon after 22 years of active duty Army, one a Bishop is the Church of God and the youngest a devote Christian too but is a Florida State's Attorney so none of us drinks. Not a good idea to even start as nothing good comes from it in my opinion. You take care. It sounds like you've got a fantastic Saucey Mom and Dad.
@@heidifruchtl354 I was there! At PentaCon 2018 in Dallas. It was amazing. By the way, that "sister in pharmacy school"--Candace-- now has her doctorate in Pharmacy. The whole family is incredible! Kevin's dad is indeed from Nigeria but his mom is from Grenada, in the Caribbean.
Avi taught Kevin. Mitch did not "take over". Scott did not find Kevin on UA-cam Ben Bram did. They never talk much about Ben vis a vis the Sing Off because Ben being on staff at the show was a big part of their success. Ben told Scott they had to get a bass and a beatboxer. Ben knew Avi and saw Kevin online cello boxing and used his acapella connections at Yale to get Kevin's phone number.
Changing history gets really bad with this group. Particularly the myth about Daftpunk.
He also speaks 7 languages last count . A international Ivy League Road Scholar studying medicine Harvard & Cambridge Sold out Carnegie Hall Solo Also one of the nicest people in the planet with the best laugh ever
Yep! No big deal! Lolol!!
Sorry to contradict you, but he was pre-med @ Yale. He played the saxophone at Carnegie Hall as a teen, 17, w other young musicians. Came in 2nd at a Yoyo Ma cello competition, in college, where he introduced him to cello-boxing. As to other languages, He speaks Mandarin Chinese and some Spanish as far as I know. But you're right about his being nice and I too love his laugh.
@@biblio253 Thank you for keeping it factual. Kevin is so insanely gifted, his "legend" needs no enhancing.
What languages exactly? He speaks Chinese, mandarin I believe.
kevin's talent as a beatboxer and the cello is epic but when he sings, it's an absolute blessing. He has this rich, smooth tone that is just phenomenal
His smile at the end always gets me. I imagine his daughter will grow up fluent in beatbox!
And Kevin's smile... Knowing he just NAILED IT!! 😅 😅
Harry Style’s Sign of the Times is also unbelievable! Kevin is an absolute genius in every known definition of that word. The depth of his talent, intelligence, heart, & humanity is almost impossible to grasp.
I want just a fraction of this man's talents! It's just greedy to be that talented and not share it haha. That smile at the end, he knows he killed it!
I was told several years ago that we each have two families: 1) the one we were born into and 2) the one we choose for ourselves. You are in my #2, my Family by Choice.
The smile on Kevin’s face while he’s playing that cello down and dirty is everything.
He is literally one of the most talented people on earth!!!
Was so excited to see this! You did not disappoint. Can't Hold Us should be next, not solo but PTX and you might have to hide the video again, but it is a must. As well as Sing ( an original) and Love Again ( also an original).
Dude. I saw an old video with him playing saxophone and then doing a beatbox performance when he was like 17. It’s crazy. I mean, I play 4 instruments. However, I can NOT write or make my own. Give me actual notes on a page and I’m good. What this dude does is beyond human.
Kevin has recently become a father - you would enjoy some of his tiktoks where he tries to entertain his baby - yes he does other things, but obviously a LOT of music
And to think if he continued in medicine we possibly may not have been blessed with this musical genius ! 🙌
Kevin is absolutely incredible. He is extremely talented. Such a gift to artistry and hummanity! Love this!
His KO True Colors (Official Video) is beautiful and should relax your brain a little... It's an amazing video with an awesome message. It's not a studio performance like this one, it's off of his EP. If you're looking for another studio performance, check his "Sign of the Times (Harry Styles KOver)" - you get to watch him build another masterpiece. The best part of these videos is watching him get into his craft and the look of sheer joy on his face in the end... Oh, and the smile - always the smile.
SD: “such a buttery voice!” *[prepares to relax]*
KO: *[starts beatboxing]*
SD: *[FROZEN SHOCK]*
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know! Cracked me up!
Lolllll 🤣🤣💀💀
I don’t think I’ve ever clicked on a video so fast..Incredible doesn’t even come close to what Kevin is…And you should def check out renegade…he wrote that piece!! Great reaction, as always!!! Loved your Kirstin video as well!
When I first saw this video my jaw was on the floor the ENTIRE time. He blows my mind. 🤯🤯 So much freaking talent in one person should be illegal!
I thoroughly enjoyed this reaction. Few reactors give Kevin the respect he deserves. He is so underrated. Thank you for this!
Kevin and Avi were separately quite accomplished before Pentatonix (for example both had already performed at Carnegie Hall in New York City and won numerous competitions). They became roommates when Pentatonix was starting out and Avi taught Kevin to sing confidently. Here are some videos.
The viral video that Ben Bram saw that led to Kevin being asked to join Pentatonix

This is one of my favourite videos to watch reactors do... blows everyone's minds. Every time. 😁
Thank you for reacting to Kevin's "Down" video. He is amazing, I love him. He has some incredible music videos on his UA-cam channel. This one had his electronic cello name Mr Carter. His regular cello is named Beyonce. "Renegade" is an excellent next choice. It is an original written by Kevin. It is mostly instrumental, not singing. "All of Me" is another. "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" performance video is my current favorite. Kevin is also an incredible human.
Thanks for reacting to this one. Fun fact: even all of the other members of ptx say that Kevin is the most talented member, but Kevin is so humble he says that Mitch is.
I don't know if anyone has recommended the video "Pentatonix tries to sing 100 pop songs in 10 minutes", but it's an awesome challenge that they obviously had a lot of fun doing and you can get a bit more of a sense of their personality and their ability to harmonize in a split second.
That's a great video! 💖
Did you know that Kevin is a Yale graduate and speaks fluent Mandarin Chinese? (No, I’m not kidding.)
this guy is pretty dang good !
He is awesome!!
Your helmet is very appropriate for this reaction. I stand by my belief that Kevin is a Magical Unicorn.
I love when he goes into what I like to call Metal Cello.
Loved it!!! Kevin is a phenom. He has also performed at Carnegie Hall playing saxophone.
You’re a fan of hip hop?? You MUST watch Superfruit’s Hip Hop Goes Broadway 1 & 2. MUST. ASAP!
Best reaction ever for an amazing artist ❤️
You should check out KOver's "sign of the times" I love it. He is literally the most talented person on the planet.
Gives me chills every time.
Could you add PTX "Sing" to your list?
Dad, he played saxaphone at Carnagie Hall at 17 (the video is on youtube if you want to watch), speaks Mandarin, and was pre-med. Before PTX, he was most known for his cello boxing. He didn't even know he could really sing till PTX asked him if he could. Avi started teaching him, and he's utterly amazing. He has a ton of videos on his channel of these types of arrangements.
AND he's married with a beautiful baby girl.
I think you were KOd. This man is a musical genius! As for you, Nick, we need to send Crayons! 🖍 😉
I loves me some KO and this is one of my all time favs, his smile at the end is like a ray of light too.
"Spirit fingers....!!!!" That reaction was hilarious.
If you like the cello check out his version of "All of Me". He shows off another skill in this one: Cloning.
There is just no describing his talent. It gets me every time and I get so excited when people react to it.
Hi SD. New subscriber to your channel. As like many viewers I watched you quite a few times before deciding to subscribe. You're the same age as my youngest son and I enjoy your antics as he now lives far from home. So sorry to hear about the loss of your friend especially since he was in recovery. But there's never a good time to lose anyone, in recovery or not. I also feel a sense of not family but cultural kinship as I'm from New England too with relatives in Maine. As I live in the Southern US hearing you talk about daily experiences up there, not all good with your dad going through the ice, (he had an angel and him for sure). I can't support your channel, I would if I could, but I live on a disability pension. Plus it always seems like a child, 4 grown kids, or a grandchild, 11 of them with a twelve one soon, is having a birthday or Christmas or simply needs mom/Nana's help. I'm glad you have family close by, treasure that as all mine are scattered around the country with none living nearby. Not feeling sorry for myself. I'm well cared for and have wonderful friends here. I won't write here in comments often but please know I'm watching and will keep you and yours in my prayers..no kidding. 😇👩🦼👋 Take care
Thank you for your kind words, I truly do appreciate you! Please know the only “support” I want from any of you is simply taking the time to relax and enjoy some great tunes with me!! Take care Nana! You and yours will be in my prayers as well ❤️
@@SauceyDad thank you so much for such a nice response. Positive reinforcement, always a good method to get the reaction you want! I used to work with mostly Down Syndrome young men and women. I have a maternal ancestor who arrived in the 1620's on a ship named The Swanne. However the research my great great uncle and then my uncle picked up where his great uncle had left off in researching my maternal lineage. They found we were descendants of 6 people who arrived on the Mayflower. We're satisfied knowing that without joining some high brow club. The only on of the 6 I know the name of is a man with the last name Cooke. I believe that's the correct spelling. They never left New England and only married other established English families. Here's where my sick humor comes in, my great grandfather marries into the family telling them his dark appearance black hair and eyes was because he was Native American and French. Nope I had my DNA done, North African and Arabic! ROFLMYAO!! So guess me and my mixed heritage kids are just plain Americans, My Dad was 100% Irish, DNA proved that. I wish he here he'd feel so vindicated.. in college my English mom had to bring a note to college with pe r mission to date my Irish Catholic father!! Take care and sorry about the length. My kids call them mom's books. Be well, stay healthy and happy to your entire family. O.J.
I’m assuming the distortion part is literally a distortion pedal like you’d use with an electric guitar. Those pedals can technically be used with any electric instrument set up.
You should check out him playing Julie-o. I think it’s one of his first videos of celloboxing. At least it’s when videos of him started circulating among cellists.
One can see him doing something with a foot pedal as he returns to the cello -- that must be when he sets the distortion (one UA-camr, an expert on studio equipment, pointed that out in his reaction).
Everyone else has already mentioned how talented Kevin is, and how much he has accomplished, so no need to re-iterate. But I have to say, as much as I absolutely love what every member of Pentatonix brings to the table, Kevin takes the cake when it comes to the sheer amount of talent he possesses. I actually read something, recently, that at first surprised me; but after thinking about it for a few minutes it made perfect sense. Apparently, Kevin is the only member of PTX who possesses perfect pitch. I had to look it up to understand exactly what that meant. "Perfect pitch refers to a person's ability to identify any musical note by name after hearing it, without reference to other notes. Perfect pitch-also known more technically as absolute pitch-can also refer to the ability that some singers have to sing a given note on cue." This would somewhat explain Kevin's early understanding of and success in music. It also explains part of why he's so good at what he does. Kevin is absolutely the definition of 'talented'. Oh, and his last name is pronounced, "Oh-loosh-oh-la". Basically add the 'sh' sound where the 's' is in his name. :) Once again, very entertaining reaction. I love watching how much you enjoy the music and appreciate the talent. You should really react to some more Superfruit! I HIGHLY suggest Defying Gravity. Make sure you have your unicorn!
Wow! KO has quite the vocal range and his arrangements are so complex…he is superhuman….and he manages to fit his cello playing into any style of music…amazing 🎶❤️🌈
Kevin brings beatboxing to the level of symphonic artistry.
Great reaction and thank you for doing this. Next please, please, please do "Renegade", or if you just want to you could watch him speaking fluent Mandarin on the sing off China, playing amazing saxophone at Carnagie Hall his Sr. Year of High School, his Yale career, or him just being one of the truly greatest human beings on Earth. A little know fact, his Christian religion prevents him from working on Friday so PTX never does a Friday concert even though it is one of the most profitable days to have one. The other members thought this was going to be a problem at first but now they absolutely love it since it gives them Friday time with their loved ones. Much love and keep on keepin on J.
Loved the reaction it was awesome. The look on your face when he started beat boxing lol
Kevin says that by the time he was 3 years old he was already driving his father insane constantly "making noise". He said he can remember his father turning around in the car and asking him to please stop making noise for just a few minutes. It was driving him insane lol
Dudes got talent literally for days!!!
Yes! Absolutely do Renegade! Other great ones are Human Nature, Don't Dream It's Over, Adele Medley, and Sign of the Times.
I love your reactions. Kevin is amazing and so talented! You are so funny!
KO and his looping & electric cello get me every time, doesnt matter how many times i see it!! and i believe his last name is pronounced more like o-LU-shola :^)
One of the best reactions to Down Down that I’ve seen!! Just awesome!!!
Best reaction I have seen and I’ve watched a lot because Kevin’s cover is so Amazing.
Kevin, Kevin, Kevin!! He is incredible. We all are amazed by the genius of this man. My absolute favorite KO performance.
LMFAO MAGIC STICK. some sticks are more magical then others.
Add to the fact, this was done in ONE TAKE!, LIVE! 🤣
You've been KO'd by Kevin. Such an incredibly talented young man.
Just think what we all would have lost if he had decided to stay in Pre-Med at Yale instead of joining Pentatonix.
I so look forward to your reactions. 🥰
I’m pretty sure that’s NOT the magic stick 50 was referring too, but GOOD ONE!! 😂
He was 1 day before med school started and got invited to join PTX. Parents immigrated to USA and then your very smart child going to start med school and he tells you he is quitting college to be a be a Beatboxer for a start up a capella group!
Thanks for another great reaction! I love Kevin Olusola and it was a treat to see you "KO"ed by Kevin as we Pentaholics call it. The cello he plays while "cello"boxing with Pentatonix he named Beyonce. The electric cello he introduced you to today was named Mr Carter by his mother. Kevin played Carnegie Hall several times as a teenager still in high school and there is an old video on You Tube of him playing the saxophone called Kevin Olusola "From The Top: Live From Carnegie Hall-2005". The performance and interview in this one are fire! There is also an old video on You Tube where he just completed his final exams for graduation from Yale pre-med and is relaxing in his dorm room cello boxing "Julio". This was the video that Scott Hoying from Pentatonix saw that made him contact Kevin to audition with them for the "Sing Off". I really like his cover of "Sign Of The Times" on his KO channel.
His others are amazing too. Sign of the times is my favorite
Saucey Dad, you may just be my favourite reactor. When you hug the unicorn...🤣 basically makes my life!
I almost spit out my tea when you asked if it was the magic stick 🤣🤣🤣
He is so talented and has a great voice too. I'm not crazy about this song but his music is fantastic.
I guess you can see why I call him Special K! And this is just his musical talent!
And if you enjoy being amazed, check out Kodi Lee's audition on AGT. Your commercial at the end was way better than the superbowl commercials. You should get an agent!
Kevin has a lot of covers were he sing!
My favorite of his videos is Sign of the times. He also did a cover of As Long as You Love Me by I can't remember if it's backstreet boys or NSYNC. I am not sure if he has a creation video but there may be some sort of video for it. Those are my favorites.
Oh Lord! The helmets back! Hahaha!
Glad you did kevin solo, there is so much more
You got K.O'd. Well done, spread the word.
That is funny...I thought the same thing about his initials. 😂😂
💖The Human Ain't No Way 💖
🤘🏼🤘🏼🖤💛❤️🔥💯 you've just been KO'D
And I bet he's a great Dad too
First time I heard this it brought me to tears. This man is amazing with his music talent. But I think he speaks like 4 languages and he was going to college to be like a Scientist or a Doctor. So what can’t he do…
I love me some KO!!!!
Avi wrote a song "Fields and Pier"
He and Kevin collaborated on that song.
Avi played the guitar and sang, and Kevin accompanied Avi on some of the song.
They wanted the cello to match the low pitch of Avi's voice but the cello is not really meant to be that low.
Kevin did some string maneuvering, to finally match pitch with Avi.
Fields and Pier (Kaplan)
ua-cam.com/video/0a-IsmrwyaQ/v-deo.html
Unbelievable talent!!! Wow. 😐😶😃
Let us know what everybody you show this to says!😂 seriously, we want to know!😁
Pretty much everything you said about this performance was spot on. The only thing that I would add is, it was all in one take. What else can you say?
Listen to the actual song so you have something to compare it to. He did an epic job.
I bet every time he finishes a sesh he's like "NAILED IT" and then goes to take a bubble bath because he deserves it.
Great reaction, again! I know it's a pain in the ass, but the official Can't Hold Us is a good one.
It's me, Awesomesaucy Girl again!HaHa!!! I kept waiting for you to see what he was gonna do next! I totally enjoyed your reaction to my son from an alternate universe! Kev is my favorite. I love him as much as if he was my own son. Never formally met him. (I don't count the VIP at their concert 2 months ago - we couldn't really get close to them bcoz of covid.😢) Not just bcoz of his immeasureable talent, but he is kind, compassionate, generous & very intelligent. The Carnegie Hall video is on UA-cam. He played saxophone there when he was only 17 - way before he was with Pentatonix. He got married in the spring of 2019, not long after I saw them in concert. And last April he & his wife, Leigh had a baby girl named Kaia (Ki uh). Renegade, Human Nature, Don't Dream it's Over, True Colors, As Long as You Love Me. Those are my favorites.
At some point you are going to be ready to start watching the PTXperience vlogs that Ptx makes during their tours. It shows backstage, on the tour bus, lots & lots of them cutting up, playing with Kirstie's dog Floof who travels with them. Makes you feel like you know them. They are all very good to their fans. I'm very glad that Down didn't kill you! Lol! I was worried there for awhile! Ha!! Going to watch another one of yours. I watched a bunch yesterday on my tv, but couldn't comment, as I had dropped my phone in the toilet & had to put it in a bag of rice for the night. So glad it's undamaged! Don't worry, I cleaned & sanitized it to death!
As you said in another video, the least everyone can do is subscribe cos you’re gonna need $$ for therapy at this rate 😂
I feel like he is the most talented overall with PTX because of his beatboxing talent, singing talent and instrumental talent
You just got Kevin-slapped.
It ain't right. Noone should be given that much talent until all the rest of us have been given our share!
And it's an electric cello.😄
Very good reaction Saucey Dad
What in the world?
Me: Oh, he ain't finished yet. Wait! lol
Basically Kevin is insultingly better than all of us 😆
It is an Electric Cello....so it can do basically what an electric guitar can do....he is amazing and singing is his LEAST favorite thing to do...his PTX members had to persuade him to sing more. He is classically trained on the Cello and can speak Fluent Mandarin Chinese. He was found on the internet by PTX when looking for a beatboxer doing "Celloboxing" which is playing the cello while beatboxing...the amount of dexterity it takes and coordination is immense.
I want to be that talented at...just anything, just one thing. But I want to be THAT good. You know?
Knew it would blow you away! Last name pronounced with a “sh” sound instead of “s”.
While I like and appreciate Kevin's presentation of "Down." I have a personal preference for his video of "Sign of the Times.' Here is a 3-video compilation I put together as an introduction of Kevin's talents I think you'll appreciate. Feel free to do a reaction video of it if you'd like. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/VXRiZXUSYYE/v-deo.html
Don't forget he completed med school as well
Kevin's Fifth live
You need to watch to kevin olusola renegade its ammmazing
