Original Video:
• Renegade - Kevin Olusola
Today on the channel, we are looking at ‪@kolusola‬ with his incredible performance of "Renegade." This was my first time checking him out and he absolutely blew me away. The way he incorporates the cello with his beatboxing is so innovative and fresh! I cannot wait to check out more of his tunes. Hope you enjoy! #reaction #kevinolusola #pentatonix #pentatonixreaction #cello #beatboxing #musicreactions

[@bethphillips9693]

You should watch him in the Pentatonix video "Kiss From a Rose" - he shreds the cello.

[@setonhillstudios]

Sweet! Appreciate the suggestion!

[@graceito973]

Beatboxing while playing the cello = Celloboxing! A term that Kevin created!!

[@setonhillstudios]

Gotcha! It sure is EPIC that’s for sure! So much fun to watch!

[@graceito973]

@@setonhillstudios you should check his cover of Marian Hill's song Down

[@user-ee5qw4ii9l]

Kevin is a musical genius. Before he joined Pentatonix he was about to take his pre med admittance exam and then he was contacted by Pentatonix and the rest is history

[@setonhillstudios]

So glad the went the musical route!

[@karehelene]

Yes, Kevin is the beatboxer for Pentatonix. He also cello-boxes (what you saw here) for them as well and occasionally sings and/or contributes to the harmonies. You should check out Kevin's Fifth.

[@setonhillstudios]

Appreciate the suggestion and you hanging out! Such an incredible talent!

[@debrawalkermeyer9109]

Kevin is the most musically talented member of Pentatonix. And yes, he can sing ( and rap) and when not beatboxing he fills in and he handles his part like a beast in 5 part harmonies with no beatboxing like their original Run To You I second Down and Kiss From A Rose In their original Sing he raps “ I’m a Human 808” which refers to the Roland TR 808, one of the first electronic percussion tools His ability to sound like all the various drums in Pentatonix cover of Bohemian Rhapsody is impressive. Great reaction

[@setonhillstudios]

That’s awesome! Glad you enjoyed the video

[@lindaosmon5224]

You should also check out Kevin's rendition of Marion Hill's "Down". Kevin is a classically trained Cellist. He also holds a Pre-Med degree from Yale. And he speaks fluent Mandarin from his studies in China.

[@setonhillstudios]

Oh wow! Thats awesome! Thanks for the info and the recommendation! 😁

[@rfiliagaful]

He also plays the piano (from age 4 or 5) and saxophone, which he played at Carnegie Hall as a teenager.

[@setonhillstudios]

@@rfiliagaful Wow! Thats amazing! Thanks for sharing! 😁

[@vidsorama2]

I'm late but thank you for reacting to Kevin's original song, "Renegade" and video for it. Kevin is amazingly talented and he's also an amazing human. I look forward to more of your Kevin and Pentatonix reactions.

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

Great stuff! Thanks so much for this fantastic reaction! 😀

[@setonhillstudios]

Thanks so much Linda! Glad you enjoyed it! 😀

[@lindaosmon5224]

Kevin is the beat boxer for Pentatonix

[@NanacatiraV]

Since you’re a drummer, the one to check is “dance of the sugar plum fairy reimagined“ is like a battle between Kevin and Matt(Pentatonix bassist)

[@setonhillstudios]

Sweet, thanks for the heads up!

[@ShinyElfriend]

Kevin is remarkable in talent and also a very admirable human in every way. I love seeing people react to what he can do! I enjoyed this very much!

[@setonhillstudios]

Glad you enjoyed the video, he’s incredible!

[@carolscott1686]

You should check Kevin out on the Vevo live performance of Kiss From a Rose. He is so talented!🥰

[@setonhillstudios]

Oh sweet! A few others have suggested that one! Thanks so much! 😁

[@Gwennedd]

@@setonhillstudios , it's well worth it. Kevin doesn't always get a chance to really sing formally or lead in PTX, but he's always a backing vocal when he's not actively beatboxing. You really should do a few PTX pieces just to see their performances, yes, but to see and hear Kevin beatboxing with the group. Daft Punk Medley, Love Again and Coffee In Bed show off his versatility in beatboxing. Shallow, Radioactive and Say Something show off his skills at doing both playing and beatboxing simultaneously.

[@kbbeers4274]

Please moooooore KO!!! Great reaction.

[@setonhillstudios]

Thanks so much! We are hooked now so we don’t have any other choice! 🤣 Amazing!

[@rfiliagaful]

You start watching Kevin's work it's going to lead you right into Pentatonix! You've no idea what a rabbit hole you've just dipped your toe into! This will lead you to Pentatonix, Superfruit, Avi Kaplan, Scott Hoying, Messer, Kirsti Maldonado, Home Free, Voiceplay, and on and on. A word to the wise though, PTX can get reactors frustrated because their videos almost always get blocked. If you're patient though, you can get them up. Just make sure you pause regularly during the video and put some kind of filter over it to somewhat mask the video. Taking this journey will increase your subscriptions amazingly as well, so jump in with both feet and prepare yourself for the ride of your musical life!

[@setonhillstudios]

Thanks for the info! We have actually covered a few of those artists on the channel and the other half of Seton Hill Studios (Corey) has done one reaction to the Pentatonix so far. You can find Home Free, VoicePlay, and a few others on our homepage under the playlist ‘Bands • Groups.’ Thanks for taking the time to hang out and have a great one!

[@IFRfun]

Agreed! Great stuff right there! Thanks

[@setonhillstudios]

Thanks for watching Milton! Hope all is well! 😁

[@angiegardner-tk1ot]

YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT KEVIN'S FIFTH...THE KEVIN SHOW

[@setonhillstudios]

Awesome thanks for the heads up!

[@larryross9492]

To get the full range of his insane talents watch his cover of Down.

[@setonhillstudios]

Cool, thanks for the heads up!

Somewhere there may be a better beatboxer than Kevin Olusola (pronounced Oh-loosh"-oh-luh', primary emphasis on the second syllable, secondary emphasis on the fourth syllable), but if so I've never encountered him or her. In the original Pentatonix song "Sing," Kevin actually refers to himself as "the human 808," a reference to the Roland TR-808, one of the first drum machines to allow users to program their own rhythms (see en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_TR-808 ). Kevin is generally too busy being the entire percussion section to sing, but when he does sing he has a lovely tenor voice that occasionally dips into the uppermost reaches of baritone, and he's known for the beauty of his falsetto. He's also a pretty good rapper. Kevin has perfect pitch. He began piano lessons at age 4, cello at age 6, and alto saxophone at age 10. He beatboxes while playing the cello, a technique he calls "celloboxing." He performed at Carnegie Hall twice when he was a teenager, once on cello and once on saxophone. He graduated from Yale in 2011 with a pre-med major and had been accepted to Yale Medical School before he decided to become a professional beatboxer instead of a brilliant surgeon. He speaks five languages fluently: English, French, Spanish, German, and Mandarin Chinese. He's one of the kindest people in the world, and when he laughs he makes the whole planet seem like a brighter place. You can find Kevin's personal channel here: youtube.com/@kolusola I recommend Kevin's KOver of Marian Hill's version of "Down": kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3jNmGRvaM1nhc0 Also, you'll like "The Kevin Show/Kevin's Fifth." This is a live feed from a concert Pentatonix gave in Owensboro, Kentucky, Kevin's home town: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epOmkqasmLOrbZo and this is the very special performance of "Kevin's Fifth" (without "The Kevin Show") from Kevin's birthday in 2022: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ6TmGquic18jdUsi=99F7iG5qkdgPCm43 You may or may not know that Pentatonix puts out a LOT of Christmas albums, so many that in 2023 they were having trouble finding Christmas songs they hadn't already covered. So their 2023 Christmas album is named "The Greatest Christmas Hits," and is primarily a re-release of songs from their earlier holiday albums. They did add one original, written by Kirstin Maldonado (the only woman in Pentatonix) and Kevin: "Please, Santa, Please," and they re-recorded "O Holy Night" with a better arrangement than their 2012 release of it. Also, they added a gorgeous mashup of "Pure Imagination" with "Christmas Time Is Here." But then they added a non-Christmas song (on the grounds that it mentions snow): "Kiss From A Rose." Kevin is spectacular in it. He celloboxes and he sings. The best version we've found on KZbin is the live Vevo recording: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2SxdnmLhLGnrtUsi=saKEoKwzSClNF7Dk I think we may see three of these songs ("O Holy Night," "Pure Imagination / Christmas Time Is Here," and "Kiss From A Rose") in next year's Grammy nominations.

[@kristipierce4735]

As others have said, Kiss From a Rose (PTX live Vevo), Kevin’s Fifth, Radioactive (w/PTX), Down (solo KO) all feature him with his cello-boxing. 🔥🤯

[@setonhillstudios]

Sweet!

[@simsweechuah9753]

Just saw your video. I am a fan of Kevin and also Pentatonic. If u want to see his fantastic beatboxing skills , watch Fact Punk and Love Again by Pentatonix. U can watch him cello boxing in Kissed by A Rose and Kevin's 5th, a live stage performance. Kevin seldom sings as he is too busy keeping the beat for the group and beatboxing. He has 2 cellos. The one here is named Beyonce. His electric cello is named Jay Zee or Me. Carter

[@setonhillstudios]

Such a beast! Can’t wait to hear more from him! Thanks for watching!

[@dejns6945]

Check out... Kevin's 5th😊
