    Kevin was born with perfect pitch, he graduated pre med from Yale , he spent 1 1/2 years in China and is fluent in Mandarin. He is a classically trained in cello and Sax. He beat boxes and plays cello at the same time in Many videos
    He is a standout even among PTX level genius. After 11 years together and constantly touring in early
    Years PTX is family and they treat each other with love
    From the beginning they have all had a hand in arranging and

    Kevin is such an integral part of Pentatonix. Music is a special being of Kevin as he is so multi-talented. Kevin has played the cello at Carnegie Hall at a very young age. You can react to "Shallow" and "Say Something" covers where he plays the cello and beat boxes at the same time. You should hear Scott tell the story of him trying to get Kevin to join the group and form Pentatonix.

    Kevin is classically trained since childhood on piano, saxophone, and cello. Way before Pentatonix was even a gleam in Scott's eye Kevin had already performed at Carnegie Hall twice, once on saxophone and once on cello. It was a video of Kevin "celloboxing" (beatboxing while playing cello) that first brought him to the attention of the trio and Avi back when they were looking for a beatboxer to round out the band. I've no idea where or how Kevin learned to beatbox; I just know that I've never heard anyone who's better at it than he is. And did I mention that he has a degree from Yale's pre-med program and speaks five languages, including Mandarin? He gave up what would doubtless have been a brilliant career as a doctor in order to join Pentatonix, and then to stick with them after they lost the recording contract they'd won on _The Sing-Off._ And yes, he dances, too. This was from his birthday in October, 2022: ua-cam.com/users/shortsx7dkV_-KZWk

    I love, love, love watching you react to these acapella groups and performances. I think you visually reflect so well the reaction of us all to some extent. We remember being where you are. In fact, we're still there, in a way and don't anticipate leaving. Your appreciation of talent is entertaining.
    Kevin plays the cello in a couple of the Pentatonix performances, specifically "Radioactive" (with Lindsey Sterling on violin) and "Say Something" where he cello-boxes, which is what caught Scott's attention on the internet and brought him into Pentatonix as they were forming in the first place. He is incredibly talented (like them all, which you aptly pointed out) and smart. He speaks Mandarin I believe and was premed, headed to med school after study abroad in China for a year when he put it all on hold to try out on a show with 4 strangers. He talks about how hard he worked to learn beatboxing and perfect it, even during their show, watching the other groups' beatboxers and the long hours he spent honing his craft because he felt they knew so much more than he did. I'd say it paid off.
    You'd definitely enjoy their SingOff journey because they "found" that Pentatonix sound . We watched them settle in, right before our eyes in 12 little performances. Plus some back story. Give it a try!

    You've got to check out a video -- Pentatonix Surprise Solo - shot live 4/20/23 from an audience member. Scott explains how Kevin was found on UA-cam and recruited when his original trio needed at least 1 more person to enter the 3rd season of the Sing off TV show . By the way they won that season! In addition to Kevin, they were first led to the INCOMPARABLE Avi Kaplan, another exquisite ingredient of that INTOXICATING elixir they named Pentatonix. (I'm a 72 yr. old Pentaholic.)

  • @pamscarr8696
    @pamscarr8696 Рік тому

    Kevin and Avi (Kaplan) became best friends while they were both in PTX,
    Kevin had just received his undergrad from Yale and was headed to Medical School. His plans were to become a medical missionary in China and was already fluent in Mandarin.
    Avi had graduated from University and had just received a hire letter from The Los Angeles Opera House to be their Principle Basso Profundo.
    The other three in PTX had been friend from high school and were tight.
    KO and Avi though older had to form their own mutual admiration society so to speak.
    Scott found them less than two days before the NBC A Capella sing off was to begin. Both of them being high quality musicians, they took the lead on many occasions as they progressed through the sing off and eventually won. They were roomies in L.A. and on the road while the trio were always together.
    Avi and Kevin were known as "meat and potatoes" during the sing off as there was no way the trio could have won without them.
    Avi Kaplan, the son of Russian/Ukraine Jewish ancestors, and Kevin, whose family was from Nigeria just seemed to hit it of. Avi left the group after 6 years with them. (2017) and is now a solo artist.
    Two Christmases ago, KO visited Avi at his cabin deep in the forests of Tennessee.
    Avi is not a social animal which is why he lives in his cabin in the forests.
    Avi, with his deep bass voice blew out speakers one evening while the group was in concert.
    He was so embarrassed he left the stage and KO ran to get him back on stage knowing Avi and his tenderness..
    KO is married, they have a young one.

      @@vidsorama2 I just reviewed Kevin's Wikipedia. There's a section that says he "ultimately decided" to enroll at Berklee after finishing pre-med. Then it talks about him releasing "Julie-O" in 2011 at the end of his senior year. I've always read that as meaning, in context, senior year at Berklee. Apparently other people have, too. But going back over everything carefully, the article elsewhere specifies that he graduated from Yale in 2011. Obviously he didn't attend both schools simultaneously (altho he'd probably have been capable of handling the workload). So, yeah, some parts of the article are poorly worded, but the final conclusion has to be that he PLANNED to go to Berklee but didn't actually do it.
      Thank you. Learn something new every day.

    He could have sung it in Mandarin and hauled out a sax solo, but he must have decided that making the cello sound like an electric guitar only better, singing and beatboxing his face off, and engineering the entire thing in real time, was enough to bless our ears with in the space of one song, lol. As much of a brilliant prodigy as he is, I would have to say his most amazing quality is that he is a wise, loyal, optimistic, encouraging, humble, and faithful human, husband, father, son, brother, friend, and bandmate, who feels that expressing joy through music and living an admirable life is his calling. He's an extraordinary human being. He probably would have been a great doctor, too, if he'd continued down that path, but in my opinion, he's touching more hearts and healing more lives this way. They are fallibly human, of course, but I really don't think there is a kinder, more humble, or more spectacularly talented group of humans making music together than Pentatonix. I do encourage you to enjoy more solo work from all of them: Superfruit (Mitch & Scott), Kirstin's solo album, Kevin's other musical offerings, and Messer, (Mitch's solo project). Avi's solo career is wonderful too, and though I haven't seen much, yet, no doubt Matt will provide some solo work in the future for us to enjoy.

    When I started to take cello lessons in my mid forties, I was told that it takes 10,000 hours to master an instrument. Also, Kevin is playing the cello, not the bass. I’ve seen other reactors make the same mistake. Cello definitely wasn’t a popular instrument when I was growing up. There were classically trained cellists but I think that 2Cellos and The Piano Guys brought it to the masses with their mainstream cover videos on UA-cam, and it gathered steam from there.
    I yeah, Kevin is music, I agree with you. I think that Scott is like that, too. His mom once shared that when Scott would visit, she thought he’d take a break because of the heavy work schedule. Instead, he would walk through the door and end up at the piano, playing and singing, before long. Dear God, I wish I a tenth of the energy that man has.
    Anyway, always enjoy your PTX reactions. Please react to:

    Kevin had soloed at Carnagie Hall TWICE before he ever hooked up with Pentatonix, once playing the cello and a second time playing the saxophone. He's also a graduated from Yale with a degree in premed. And he's fluent in Mandarin Chinese, because why wouldn't he be? He turned down his acceptances to medical schools in order to join PTX. Avi turned down an offer from the LA Opera Company to join the group, Scott and Kirstin both dropped out of college, and Mitch never went at all, diving directly into the group from high school. They all put themselves aside for the group and created something truly incredible by doing so.

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, and 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.
    Just wonder what he and Eddie Van Halen could have done together.

    This is a cover, so Kevin did not create this song. However, after watching a number of reactions to covers, especially by people knowledgeable about the dynamics of music, I've come to greatly appreciate the skill of arranging music. Pentatonix are masters at musical arrangement, two of their three Grammys are for just that. He's also using a loop machine to bring some complexity to his concept and performance of this song. So this man's skills are off the chart. Peter Bence does similar covers, looping music, absolutely top tier musical arrangement, and virtuoso instrument playing. If you liked this performance by Kevin, I think you'll also enjoy Peter Bence's performances. Check out his cover of Toto's "Africa"
