I really hope you enjoy my first every official video! It was such a fun process fusing classical instruments with a pop song. "Classical Pop", if you will :) Listen with headphones :)
Special thanks to all the string players, Ben Bram for helping me arrange (www.thebenbram.com), Speakeasy Sound for letting us use their space (www.speakeasysound.com), Endless Noise for production and mixing (www.endlessnoise.com), and DuNo Tran for shooting the video (www.dunotran.com).

[@Nonamegirl1]

I love Pentatonix....but why in the world does he individually not have fame, millions of views and interviews. This man alone is amazing, he seriously gives me shivers when he performs.

[@theocarme]

+Margaret Foster You can be famous without having millions of views. He stills very talented !

[@jesusnavas6256]

+Margaret Foster i think the seim but this sing is vey beatlifuly!!!

[@AssetInvesting]

+Margaret Foster G R E A T Question Margaret! A total head scratcher.

[@astrogildobarbosa5308]

A mais pura verdade. Ele é sensacional. Se doa à música.

[@nabilahatiqah6114]

he's seriously the heart beat for pentatonix he needs to be appreciated more

[@kirstenpioquinto7867]

I agree...its like Avi and Kevin are the least respected the least favorite memebers from PTX...

[@jessesl2430]

Xx-Kaylee Grassi-Hoying-xX that's not true! There are no "least favorite" pentatonix members. All of them are amazing :)

[@LeskeyC001]

Nabilah Atiqah I actually think he is. You should hear how highly Scott speaks of him and there are many of us who have no individual PTX member but appreciate most what they make when they come together. That, for me, is what is truly beyond extraordinary.

[@sk0801108]

This man should have his own Grammy. Seriously.

[@matheusrosa1367]

9 years since this comment and this is still the greatest truth i've ever read.

[@saltypotate]

Why does it sound like that Kevin’s cello have her own soul, and having a duet with Kevin… Crazy…

[@janaabrams7617]

Because it's literally Beyoncé

[@DannoCrutch]

I think that Kevin would be grateful for your comment. I've gotten the impression that he really does try to make his instrument have a voice, a "soul" of its own, if you will. Very astute observation!

[@FlyinSparky]

He's said in interviews that he set out to play cello with the same degree of emotional expression that Stevie Wonder has in singing, so he'd definitely consider it a compliment!

[@amoghbaburaj2947]

Kevin you are amazing!!!!! For Violinists and Cellists, their goal is to mimic the human voice and its vibrato. Not only does he mimic the human voice, he also adds his own emotions and soul to it. And for beatboxing, he is the lord and master! Great job Kevin!!!!!

[@memedreams8558]

He is like the new Yo Yo Ma I swear

[@jadebatarseh7127]

sooooo trueee 😍😍

[@faithjacobson6830]

Preach!!

[@briannajanebryson5675]

The way Kevin lets it run through him....so raw.

[@alyssalim9984]

Why does he only have 200,000+ subscribers?! IT SHOULD BE MILLIONS ALREADY! He's fucking talented!

[@jerrybee566]

the PASSION in his eyes.This guy is a musical genius!!!

[@tanyaelias7683]

He doesn't just "play the cello", he makes it sing! I could seriously listen to it all day

[@nadia5512]

Every time I listen to this it brings me to tears. Not only the music is emotional, but the passion that he shares with people is shown in his facial expressions and OBVIOUSLY his work. I'm teen in high school been singing since I was 3 playing piano for 9 years and playing violin for 8... this man is my inspiration...and one day I hope to meet him just to shake his hand and tell him that.

[@NanaBabe96]

Kevin makes the cello SING! The mark of a wonderful musician :))))

[@bryandemond1]

You can see the music move through his body. It's so chilling to watch. Chills...

[@stevenfeil7079]

Piano Guys are still NUMBER ONE. They created the genre and are the masters.

[@christianpayumo]

So far ThePianoGuys is the best KZbinr for piano I've ever seen on KZbin. While LindseyStirling for the violin. Pentatonix for only using their mouths. And Sungha Jung for guitar.

[@stevenfeil7079]

SLYMusic I liked Lindsey the first time I saw her. Was amused the second. Not sure I even want to see her again. It always looks like the same schtick.

[@jeanelfejoydelfinado6054]

of course..piano guys are awesome..but they don't post vids a lot now...but in my opinion, kevin is good also...this is MUSIC... if you are a musician, you shouldn't be bias.. they did great and i felt there passion to it...the music, effort and art..

[@koffieboon20]

Um, well did you ever see Steven cellobox? Kevin is also unique. Ah whatever just stop trying to compare everything. These guys are all equally awesome for doing what they do.

[@glibsonoran]

Lol what "genre" is that? Playing popular music with a classical group? Really you think Piano Guys invented that? You've gotta be kidding!

[@FatimaYTB]

he's one of the most talented persons I've ever seen.

[@MegaDiva1999]

I cannot stop playing this song. I am officially a fan, a believer and totally inspired by this young man's sublime gifting. May he be more, reach more and achieve all that he was clearly destined for.

[@hannahsenior9372]

It is so obvious he has such a rare natural talent for music. This is absolutely amazing. So much passion

[@Leo619858]

Notice how everyone starts smiling once ko drops the beat haha, that's talent when you can make a professional Orchestra feel the beat like that.

[@RB-tz5kc]

I saw that as well. He is impactful.

[@maureenbentum9081]

When I hear he's music playing, my heart stops beating.

[@Ozu]

Love watching him play because of his expressions (esp when his eyes are closed), it's like he's singing through the cello and it's so beautiful. Such talent and he deserves way more views!

[@brooke5721]

He and Lindsey Stirling have been such an inspiration to me to strive to get better on the violin... I've been playing for three years and I've progressed from 2nd violinist to 1st chair 1st in our orchestra... Kevin definitely deserves more recognition than he gets.

[@emilyperez3176]

I play the cello now i learned to love it from Kevin, and when my cousin taught me how to play it, i fell in love with it even more. I just got my own yesterday and i can already play 3 full songs. I hope that one day, i can be as amazing and kind as he is!

[@brooke5721]

Muffin Girl If you practice and you love what you do you'll go far! Best wishes!

[@emilyperez3176]

Angela Canady I do indeed love what i do! And thank you! i will try! :3

[@emilyperez3176]

Angela Canady I know that you are amazing at the violin and if you keep doing it, you will be even better! Keep it up!

[@brooke5721]

Muffin Girl :3 Happy Halloween!

[@kmjc1213]

I got to see Pentatonix on tour this past year, and as amazing as they were, Kevin's cello solo had to be one of my favorite parts. It was just him and his cello onstage, and it was absolutely beautiful.

[@MilkSongTF2]

kevin olusola is my favorite black guy that beat boxes and plays cello... in the entire world

[@morganjones1028]

K.O., you don't know how much I love this arrangement! I'm a dancer and I really want to use this as the music to my senior choreography piece. I've never been more inspired.

[@tctflower]

I love it when musicians enjoy the music they are playing and can really feel it. I always see that with Kevin. It always makes me so happy!

[@lareanaherrera3101]

Even 4 years later it's still gives me chills every time!

[@julezpond4377]

He brought the beautiful classic sound back to the music industry.

[@ThePromDestroyer12]

This is passion! You can totally tell he loves what he does with a burning passion! Makes me want to play again! Whoever dislikes this obviously has no taste in music. Props to everyone else too! I'm in tears! :")

[@chrissyting]

It's people like Kevin who make me want to take up cello as an instrument. Absolutely amazing!

[@naturlent2336]

KEEP ON GOING!!!!

[@nanananonj]

Kevin's face is the best haha and this is song deserves more likes and views

[@ArinkaLinders]

Now I love this even more!!! Thank you Kevin for being such a perfect musician.

[@siaarvinger3000]

I LOVE Kevin ♡

[@xMissAnne]

I love your facial expressions! You put so much emotion in your music, you really play with your heart and soul. Keep going! You're so talented and I love your music!! ❤

[@kevindanielturcios4465]

this guy...this guy...he,s magic

[@thekelsonmartins]

Damm.. This is too sick man. A real example of what art is really about, an expression with intention. Congrats K-O... This is AWESOME!!!!

[@julianneyazzie4712]

The other violinists have no facial expressions and here is KO giving everything emotion! lol I love him!

[@ChocolatTherapy]

kevin kevin kevin kevin. that's all. i have no words. i love you. thank you for sharing your talents with the world

[@shanebeaulieu9492]

Kevin...what an amazingly, out-of-this-world (out-of-this-universe), talent you have. I really enjoy listening to what you and Avi put together in all the songs. And now we get to see your classical background...stellar. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world.

[@fatestaydreamer]

You definitely should do something the the Piano Guys! You are amazing.

[@ElisabethElaineS]

oh, wow! Amazing! I've heard all of your work in pentatnoix but i have yet to see any of your own things! Oh. My. Word. You are so crazily talented . Gave me chills

[@ChocolatTherapy]

please don't take this wrong, as i love pentatonix and they're actually the reason i know about kevin, but he looks so much more passionate and enjoying himself when he's with his beyonce! haha. i really wish there'd be more chances for him to play cello with ptx!!

[@ЭгоистичныйСоциофоб]

Кевин,пожалуй, единственный контрабасист , которым я действительно восхиящаюсь. Это просто невероятно. Он произвёл огромнейший фурор. Я в восторге!

[@Dustrick]

I don't understand, Kevin, why you gotta be so cool?

[@rainbow13warrior16]

Cuz it just how the world works... Kevin is cool

[@JassmineBreeanna]

Cause he's talented like that.

[@lendahandful]

Dustrick don't you know i'm human, too? lol

[@gigadude2012]

HE CAN BEATBOX AND PLAY CELLO AT THTE SAME TIME?!?!

[@enoswong8678]

Probably he has finger memorization as a cello player in middle school our teacher makes us do a memorized solo for an assessment. He then just beatboxes as he regularly does.

[@sallenvan]

gigadude2012 I hope in the month since you posted this question that you have discovered more about this amazingly talented and all-around delightful person we know as Kevin "KO" Olusola. Kevin is a rising international music star most popularly known as the beatboxer (as well as the wearer of many other indispensable "hats") for Pentatonix, but he's also a highly respected and sought-after solo cellist (and celloboxer) in classical, jazz, and "classical pop" genres. He's a Yale grad (in pre-med) who speaks several languages. He started combining his cello with his beatboxing "hobby" during college, went viral on YT, joined Pentatonix (where he now sings occasionally too). Along with Ben Bram (who plays piano and helped arrange the music in this video) and the other members of PTX, he is nominated for a Grammy award for their medley "Daft Punk". (See he and PTX perform and hopefully accept on The Grammy Awards show to be televised in early Feb. 2015.)

[@rogerj412]

Kevin has been beatboxing and playing cello together for years. It's actually how the other members of PTX discovered him.

[@memedreams8558]

Are you a newborn

[@enoswong8678]

maybe..... maybe

[@Wasabifold]

SEE THIS IS WHY I TELL YOU PEOPLE THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IS A JOKE. This is what it's been missing for near 2 decades now. Pure, raw, undeniable musical talent, unrestricted and allowed to truly express itself without being forced to pander to demographics and appeal to specific audiences solely to maximize profitability. MUSIC!! This is why music is an artform. The mainstream music industry has ruined this amazing artform, by making it a business. I'm 20 going on 21 and even I can say my generation is losing out big time on quality music.

[@joshuapeacock3644]

I agree

[@bojaiden5175]

Wasabifold you sure you're 21?! cause you sound 80 right here

[@geoviv4511]

Wasabifold I am 19 and I totally agree Really few songs of our generation can be saved

[@alexandralos8051]

Agreed, we should focus on talent and musical expression and not just money. This just gives me shivers

[@personal8630]

exactly its like listening to different versions of the same track with the new pop songs...similar rhythm similar progressions and similar themes! its really sad all this real talent gets overshadowed by all the noise :(

[@katemethu3338]

I am blown away by Kevin's talent! It's ridiculous how good he is.

[@DannoCrutch]

What was cool is I think that there was a definite change in the other musicians when Kevin started beat boxing. They all started smiling. Pretty cool.

[@jeanapark2252]

One thing that I specifically love about Kevin's covers are the emotions that he puts into his music and you can see it on his face ☆

[@carrieb1781]

I've never felt passion like this in a song without vocals. Beautiful ❤

[@KarleneE]

All I can say is that my man is making that cello SING! This is beautiful and moving! Just WOW!

[@lesbianfordemi6559]

I love Demi to death and it kills me to say this... But I think I like this version of Heart Attack more than the original one..😳 This is seriously AMAZING! I've been listening to this like non stop for the past hour. I would love to hear your cover of Nightingale! I think that would be pure perfection.

[@AlexsiaL85]

LesbianforDEMI Same! Cannot stop listening to it!!

[@gunawanputera6443]

I think because the original version kinda too much happend so kinda cover demi emotion in the song, but in this is more simple so the emotion in song is more stronger

[@DjeuStMamalOu]

This guy is absolutely amazing ! As a Pentatonix member, but wow, when he's on his own, we can really see how talented he is. Honestly, with this version of "Heart Attack" I had chills.. That's absolutely beautiful.

[@fentyji4640]

just found out about this channel. Crying right now 😢 Sooo proud of u Kevin😭😍

[@jcs1025]

Just discovering this in 2021. Amazing. It took COVID and boredom for me to discover Pentatonix and all of their solo projects. So glad that I did.

[@gamer_spbr]

Hello Kevin. Us Brazilians really admire his work. Only sound that you take the cello is from the soul. Congratulations. :)

[@alvinoalegria3631]

Everytime i see him play, i realize i haven't done anything that really fulfills my life the way music does his. Keep em coming brother, we'll be waiting.

[@keslaaa]

You are my inspiration to pick up my cello and play for an hour every day, it might seems like a dorky instrument to my friends, but the way you play is legendary.

[@YoungBreezzy66]

I don't know how you can't appreciate music at it's finest!!!

[@gamezoneqwe]

Forever a Kevin fangirl

[@mmatketeku2170]

3:30 PHAT JUICY VIBRATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THis guy is too talented

[@kaosslayeryin]

its rare when you find that music that makes you close your eyes and listen to it while the chills run down your neck with a smile on your face while you listen this is one of those times thank you for this you are truly amazing

[@annefu4165]

I love how he enjoy his performance Like it gets me more into the song and I can feel that joy he got😍😍 THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY

[@MakennaDeters]

KO, thank you for being such a brilliant musician and restoring my faith in our generation.

[@ninnyy6260]

I'm literally crying. He's a geniuuuuus!

[@abbybasile936]

I love you in the Pentatonix, but I'm so happy you're not afraid to also release your own stuff too. Thanks for sharing! It's beautiful

[@TheWorldlycitizen]

I am so grateful my grandfather shared this to me on Facebook today. I can't thank you enough for what your music does to my soul. I played cello from 6th through senior year and haven't hardly touched it since then. I've been singing and beatboxing forever but I haven't been regularly playing music for a few years until the beginning of this year. How you play and feel the music man makes me remember how filling and uplifting music and performing is. Thank you thank you thank you. You are by far my new favorite artist. You're living the dream my friend.

[@solomon9853]

Try cello boxing make it more popular.

[@3B4JOY]

This is soo beautiful!!! love the combination of classical music & pop :) We are so tempted to sing this song with your music!! might surprise ya lol great job! :)

[@haneswhitetshirts]

This has nothing to do with classical music. Modern orchestral is not the same thing as classical

[@richardsanchez2894]

3B4JOY I couldn't say it any better love your comment.

[@tamarareid2879]

Talk about eargasms.. That was actually so beautiful , absolutely slayed.

[@sofiarashid6211]

This song had me in tears, so talented

[@Anoxiel]

to do this along with PTX stuff and still make it an absolute eargasm of music! GENIUS!!!

[@chrisparreno9375]

Pentatonix are seriously lucky to have you, Kevin Olusola . My parents are mad keen on Pentatonix (possibly more than me) and every single time they watch one of you guys' videos they're always like "omg the beatboxer is amazing they wouldn't be half so good without him!"

[@omarholder9170]

Okay, that's it. I'm calling it. This is hands down the best musical thing period to come out of last year. Who agrees with me? I dare someone to show me something better

[@Taylor-di1rv]

THIS MADE ME SOB FROM TOP TO BOTTOM SO BEAUTIFUL

[@ElsaKawatu]

I love how he does music sincerely from the heart.

[@MyRocker42]

Help Kevin get a million views on this one! this is my very first time watching one of your covers, and I got teary eyed: I got so emotional :3

[@christaog]

Man, I never thought that combining pop song, beatbox, and classical instruments turns up to be unexpectedly beautiful. And it definitely needs twice or thrice the concentration to maintain the beat, to maintain the handwork, and to remember what you have arranged at the same time...you are simply amazing. Keep being awesome :D

[@borndolllover]

IM BRUNING UP INSIDE BY WATHING THIS AGAIN FOR THE LIKE 917487346827462868 TIME I LOVE U BRUHHHHH + WHOS WATCHING 2016?

[@justmisscamille3008]

Can't stop listening to this, unbelievable talent !

[@rororourboat01]

this song was already great, but Kevin, you just completely blew it out of the water with this cover.... Please marry me.

[@red-bv8xt]

I always come back here, listening to this masterpiece

[@archistrage]

Kevin, you and Avi need to do a Cello/Bass Cover of The Misty Mountains Cold.

[@lukecraig4984]

I love how the world just seems to fade away when I listen to this, I just let the music surround me. Beautiful.

[@ConstanceStanley-B]

I am binge watching all of your KZbin videos........ needless to say I look like I am having a stroke from pure awsomeness! U r so amaaaazzziinnnnggg!

[@cecilesonko6823]

I totally second that right now!!

[@rosskarmen7397]

It is always amazing to see how passionate and happy people are when they play an instrument. It is one of my favorite parts of watching musicians.

[@MingaLing7]

Hi Kevin! My friend told me about PTX recently and I am now coming to one of your shows in Vancouver in 2014! Super excited to meet you! You've truly been blessed with a gift from God musically but also in faith. The way you place Christ first in your life encourages me to excel in the path God has for me, yet strive to give God the glory. jia you! (...I believe you understand Chinese?)

[@brutalnemo]

This was very inspiring Kevin. Thank you for posting!
