Keep in mind that this whole one-man-production gig is KO’s *fifth* musical specialty. He started with saxophone and played on stage at Carnegie Hall as a teenager. Second is cello, at which he is obviously exceptional. He parleyed the cello into celloboxing, his hybrid beatboxing and cello performance (which is how the other PTX members found him), once he joined PTX, he started beatboxing full time and then they taught him how to sing - turns out he’s a great tenor! - and now, for music gig number five, he’s producing and performing music that would not be out of place in any internationally known club. Amazing. Ridiculous, but amazing. And he’s just thirty-one. I mean, good grief!
If I remember correctly, also add a pre-med degree, and speaks fluent Mandarin, a truly amazing person....
Arcusfp1 Chinese not Japanese. But yes. He got his degree from Harvard I believe
Arcusfp1 He speaks Mandarin fluently and has his pre-medical degree from Yale.
lachimiste1 And he speaks fluent Mandarin!
@@lachimiste1 Thank you I wasn't quite sure. Thanks for the clarification. Anyway you look at it, an amazing and talented man.
His rendition of True Colors is stunning
The gentleman is highly talented - one of the main fun facts about him is he's fluent in Mandarin (I believe?)
I need to meet him, I dabble in Mandarin as well. Hen Hao!
@@jasenyoface7555 okay we really need an "about me" video from you! You sound so interesting!
He is. Check out this fr9m the Chinese Sing-Off. ua-cam.com/video/1QIk5Xe0B-w/v-deo.html
Jan Uzzell Yep he is!! #proudsister 😊
Candie4JC love how supportive your family is of each other. Had the pleasure of meeting Kevin at vip. He was so easy to talk to and goof around with.
He also does Sign of the times, which I love ❤️
Have you consider to listen to the Sing off performances? You could do like one performance per week.
You would get to know better their history as a group, and, you would keep us pentaholics with a huge interest in your reactions to see you react to the next one
Yaaaasssss!!!!!!!! Pedro, you are a wise person.
Please make this happen!
I highly recommend Kevin's rendition of Stay With me and his Adele Medley.
Kevin also participated in "celloboxing" competitions while he lived in Beijing for college, and his vocal beatboxing/cello mashup style even impressed Yo-Yo Ma! When he got back to the states he posted a youtube video of a celloboxing piece he arranged, and when it went viral Scott Hoying saw it and asked Kevin to be in the group literally THE DAY BEFORE the live audition on the Singoff! This is Kevin's famous video that led him to PTX
Words seem to pale when trying to describe Kevin's talent(s). He's beyond talented and he is so SWEET!
"O-Lu-Sha-la" is how Kevin pronounces it.
Yh... He's actually from Nigeria, and He's Yoruba (That's one of the major tribes). And that's how it's pronounced, except that the last "O" is pronounced the way the "O" in "cot" Is pronounced😁😁
My choirs teachers dad was Kevin's choir teacher, I think that's pretty cool.
You need to react to Superfruit (Scott Hoying and Mitch Grassi)’ as well asJustin Bryan Crum, Mario Jose and Mary Langston. They are doing the most outstanding version oKaty Perry’ Rise. This group of these five singers take it to a whole knew level! They will, I promise take your breathe away!
OMG!! What a treat that was!! KO is astounding! I’m going to check out his other music! I could listen to that kind of stuff all day! Loved your reaction! I think I was making the same faces as you were with some of the stuff KO was doing!! When he first broke into his beatboxing, I was blown away! This definitely rocked!!
There is a 2008 video that acapella group Naturally 7 made called Wall of Sound. Check it out, they are amazing at imitating instruments and singing. I was listening to them before I discovered Pentatonix. They have an awesome video that they made in France subway train.
He's created his own language in music with his own personal sign language!!!!!🎻.🌹
So glad you reacted to this. I knew it would blow you away, given your musical tastes.
Your face explains it all! FIRE!
Pentatonix aha! Live star vista
That is SICK. Loved it.
If you love his cello playing, check out his rendition of "All of me". Kevin doesn't sing in it, but he makes his cello sing. It's impressive. I also love seeing how much he loves to play in this piece.
Love your mean mug! 🤣
Reminder that this is our beatboxer :)
Wow! Good stuff man.
He just kills it doesn’t he!
Perfection!!!
Your face says it all! 😁😆
Try "Radioactive" with Avi era Pentatonix, KO's cello, guesting Lindsey Sterling and her violin and kickin' dance moves. Post-apocalyptic wonderfulness.
Facial expressions ...im gone 😂😄
Wow K.O. shred alert!!!!
Home Free "Friends in low places"
I love him so hard.
Hey Jase, new to the channel, but I dig your reactions. (I'll admit that I cackle like a madman whenever you lose your mind over Avi.)
I wanted to ask/suggest the Swedish power metal band Sabaton for your listening pleasure. Pretty much anything by them absolutely rocks, but some standouts would be "Bismarck", "Great War", "Fields of Verdun", "Attack of the Dead Men", "To Hell & Back", "82nd All the Way", or "Primo Victoria".
I also have a second band recommendation.
I heartily recommend you look into the Monsters of Finland themselves, better known as Lordi. Their singles "Blood Red Sandman" or "Hard Rock Hallelujah" are probably the best representation of just how awesome they are.
Check out Kevin Playing the Sax at Carnegie Hall. Or his four par performance of all of me. John Leged KO Over
That "smell the fart" face is so funny :)
KO is awesome
Kevin is a beast. Please react to his cover of "Sign of the Times" by Harry Styles. I think Kevins version of this is way better than the original but almost NOBODY reacts to it. Truly a shame. Anyway, keep up the great work.
Didn't think you were getting a workout w/ that listen huh? LOL Great review.
ppl do not give kevin the credit he deserves and it makes me so angry sometimes lol
I like his true colors by Cindy Lauper video
Rice!!!! Pentatonix (just Scott and Mitch with others) please
2 more suggestions:
- Blinding Lights (Weeknd) beatbox cover by Bigman
- No Tears Left to Cry (Ariana Grande) acapella cover by Citizen Queen
Yes Kevin did not know he could sing when he 1st join Pentatonix. Who, a classically trained opera singer, taught him how to sing
Check out Mr. Grinch- Small Town Titans
It's amazing, you won't be disappointed!!
I hope you do I'll Get By by Avi Kaplan
You definitely need to listen to warriors voiceplay
How have you not done anything by Barns Courtney? :p Try Glitter and Gold
React to Van Canto
Please react to Loïc Nottet ! 😊♥️
I believe his last name is pronounced Oh-loo-sha-la. Pentaholics let me know if I'm wrong though lol.
You're pronouncing his name incorrectly, but that's okay, I pronounced it wrong for like 2 years before I knew the correct pronunciation!!
Please, react to Polina Gagarina "Kukushka" and "Hurt"
say hi to K.O."s bass....Beyoncé...
Beyoncé is the name of his acoustic cello. The electric one is named Mr. Carter.
Kevin recently got married.
Please react to his cover of F.R.I.E.N.D.S by Anne-Marie
REACT TO DADDY SANG BASS BY VOICEPLAY
I love that you had the “stank face” like the whole video
KO - was pre-med prior to joining PTX, Attended Yale, speaks Mandarin - all around great guy and incredible talent. Oh, and his pin would go in Kentucky. (And his family is from Nigeria.)
Isn't his mother from St Vincent. Or somewhere from the Caribbean
@@norrickjnohope7974 she's from Grenada
@@Bizsavvyartist ah. Yes I remember now
Yep! Our dad is Nigerian and Mom is Grenadian 😊
Not to mention he played cello at Juilliard
He's a Renaissance man.
Good God yeah the very definition. Speaks fluent Mandarin, Pretty well versed in several academic subjects, a pretty good athlete as well.
I just realized, Jase bud, you need to react to Superfruit's Hip Hop goes Broadway 1&2. Superfruit is the splinter side group of PTX made up of Scott and Mitch.
Double-Barrelled Simian Yes! Those are so fun!
Yes! And Pop Goes Broadway🤩💕🎤🎶🎵🎼
My fav is their Rihanna medley!
He's a true Renaissance Man (musician)...graduate from Yale University in pre-Med, but decided to pursue music with Pentatonix. He also speaks fluent Mandarin and plays multiple instruments. Pentatonix group is filled with GREAT talent. All of them are also pursing separate gigs, but will always be part of Pentatonix !!!
One of my favorites has always been Pentatonix's version of Radioactive with Lindsey Stirling. You should check it out. That one also features Kevin on cello to go along with Lindsey's violin.
You should check out Scott Hoying's cover of "I Should Tell Your Momma", keeping with the side projects theme.
Tad Blackington Yes! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I love, love, LOVE that one 🥰
I've been putting this one out there on the comments! Scott blew me away the first time I heard this. I can imagine how Jase is going to take it!
I expect Kevin and Leigh's kids (once they have some) will beat box before they can speak. Also, Kevin calls his electronic cello Mr. Carter and he calls his acoustic cello Beyonce (sorry I don't know how to add the accent).
Try pressing and holding the letter to see if any alternates pop up. :)
@@jimhester1205 thanks
i thought it was mrs carter on the electric one.
I never thought I would watch someone headband and throw the horns while watching a guy classically trained on cello shred it like an electric guitar! XD this totally deserves it though!
Yes! It's the best! Also recommend the group Too Many Zooz for the hardest horn playing ever.
Please react to Bass Battle Avi Kaplan VS Tim Foust VS Geoff Castellucci :)
You should deffinitly react to a scott or mitch solo....
rise by superfruit
Yes Rise by Superfruit! And Lost On You by Scott & Mario. Also, Kevin's KOver of Sign of the Times❤
"I Should Tell Your Mama On You" - nothing but Scott and a microphone, and nothing short of amazing.
Ko has perfect pitch which means when he hears a sound he can tell you the exact note
2 CHELLOS "THUNDERSTRUCK" YAAAASSSS!
I was just going to suggest this!!!!! Thank you! 🍻 stay safe😷
I love this performance, still listen to it from time to time. Also here's something most people miss and something I find very funny, with all the intricate beats and live looping, he only uses the keyboard for one note. Just made me laugh the first time I caught it.
WHAT DID I JUST WATCH?!?! HOLY CRAP!! THAT'S CRAZY TALENT!! Thanks for this!!!!
LOVED your stank face the whole time KO was SHREDDING that cello! In case no one has mentioned it--Kevin's last name is pronounced oh LOO shuh luh. Accent on the second syllable. I really loved your reaction!
Ok the faces you make watching this are absolutely priceless!!! Great stuff!
For what it's worth, pretty much all his KOvers as they're called are absolutely fire. Feel free to check out any and all of them.
If you enjoyed that then you should def check out: I Should Tell Ya Momma On You (Red Cover) By Scott Hoying of Pentatonix
The Stank Face!!!!!!! Yessssss Jase!!!!! That stank face was me too😂❤
Yes, Kevin is AMAZING! Since you enjoyed his cello in this, might I suggest Thunderstruck by 2Cellos - that is really some HOT cello playing!
If you like badass cello performances, you might want to try Apocalyptica. I recommend "In the Hall of the Mountain King".
Finally you checked this one out! This is my favorite KO'ver of his where he looped the song. I figured you'd love where he shred his cello like a guitar! There is no end to this man's talents. He just released a new EP called Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood and did a terrific cover of True Colors. Please do more of Kevin and the solo work of other PTX members!
Yace, i also reccomend listening to Lindsey Stirling.
she is a violinist that does EDM, ROCK, pop, has done all of you WITH John Legend.
reccomend starting with roundtable rival, or crystallize. or even better in this case, Radioactive or papaoutai with PTX
then going to shatter me with Lzzy Hale.
If you like KO's mixes, definitely check out his cover of Sign of the Times. Truly legendary.
I chuckle to myself when I think PTX were only looking for a beat-boxer to complete the group. Talk about striking it lucky!
this reaction made me so happy! kevin is so so talented, and his singing, and production skills, are very underrated!
Just an FYI. During introductions (at a concert I attended), his last name was pronounced “O-LU-SHA-LA”.
The man's a one-man band!🤯I've often wondered if on the day God created KO He decided to give him every musical talent known to man, I think Kevin could share the wealth with us mere mortals but he's being really stingy and I don't appreciate it...the good Lord knows on a good day I'm just about able to tie my shoes!! 🤦♀️
I've already seen at least one comment for this, but the 2CELLOS cover of "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC is a great way to combine your love of rock with some awesome string instrument skills. PLUS you'd get a pin in Croatia!!!
Check out PTX's Radioactive to hear KO on cello and bb as well as Lindsey Stirling on violin. It is awesome!
Have you reacted to Pentatonix Natural Disaster live with Avi?? You will be blown away
Please react to Fiver Finger Death Punch's "Wrong Side of Heaven". I promise you, the song, and it's message, will not disappoint. It's hugely powerful!
I started moving with you!😂😭🎤🎶🎵🎼💕
Superfruit - RISE. Pleaseee
I’m so glad you did this.
Check out Lil Dicky Freestyle on Sway In The Morning | SWAY’S UNIVERSE also Bo Burnham - Can't Handle This (Kanye Rant) - MAKE HAPPY Netflix [HD] is fantastic as well!
I strongly recommend Kevin's Fifth: ua-cam.com/video/DbCasvcNx78/v-deo.html
You should try giving some other beatboxers a listen. I personally would suggest Codfish - Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Kevin is incredibly talented. Thanks for reacting to his solo work.
Btw fun fact aside from what has already been noted.....PTX all have exceptional pitch but KO the alien has PERFECT pitch. It's CRAZY.
Good job on your reaction! Please do PTX's new album, THE LUCKY ONES, Including Coffee in Bed, and Never Gonna Smile.
If anyone asks me, I would definitely recommend you to further their music appreciation. BTW I love it when you lose control and start jumping around the room.
I'm glad Kevin is pursuing solo work, however I do want him to continue with PTX.
Sometimes it's not fair that one person has so much talent !! If I would have only 25 % , that would make me soo happy :)) !!
I hope you will react to another "2cellos " again . A must see is 2cellos on 1 cello! Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall - Coldplay . It will blow you of your chair :!!
You should check out Tom Thumb. Also need to watch Apocalyptica (their live Hall of the Mountain King is amazing!).
Avi Kaplan: The Summit or Born in California! Please!!!!
