    This Kevin person graduated PRE-MED FROM YALE, can speak FLUENT MANDARIN, can play the CELLO and SIMULTANEOUSLY BEAT-BOX and is now a prominent member of Pentatonix - okay, I wouldn't even know what to do with HALF the talent he has.

      +Fun.chuck They had the number 2 selling album on iTunes last year and they have been touring almost non-stop since the sing-off. I would say yes... definitely millionaires.

      As someone who specifically came on to RUclips to find this today, off a faint memory of "incredible cello beat boxer", from over a decade ago... This comment resonates with me.

    I showed this video to my wife on the night we met and it was one of the reasons she fell in love with me. Thank you we've been married for 5 years now and your wonderful expression of the diversity of the human soul through music still keeps us coming back to watch again and again. Thank you

    It's hard work finding a video of Kevin singing. He sang the end of "Say Something", and melted me.

    • @SuchiththaW
      @SuchiththaW 10 лет назад +1

      He sings a bit of The Little Drummer Boy. Two or 3 lines I believe.

    • @riparianlife97701
      @riparianlife97701 10 лет назад +1

      Suchiththa Wickremesooriya He does! Beautiful voice. I find it to be a better contribution than beatboxing.

    • @SuchiththaW
      @SuchiththaW 10 лет назад +2

      Docktor Jim I wouldn't go that far. He's devised the art of Cello-boxing. In fact the basis of beatboxing is Rhythm which is one of the most important aspects of music. So taking that to another level of technical and artistic skill is as important as using your voice to sing. I'd go as far to say that if he remained just a nice singer and became an even more amazing beatboxer, I'd be totally happy :)

    • @SanchoPandaVTW
      @SanchoPandaVTW 10 лет назад +3

      If you are looking for more, he sings an entire verse at the end of the Pentatonix Counts (& sings) to 5" Sesame Street vid :) My daughter watches it every night before bath time!

    I actually just spoke to Kevin`s father, which is a doctor and a very kind soul. He said he teaches master cello playing in Germany, and has never had a lesson. He is indeed a true gift to the world, and to my opinion a natural master at his game...

    I swear, I have listened to this song about 50 times, and it never fails to amaze me. Kevin Olusola is the greatest cellist I have ever heard, and believe me, I have heard some amazing cellists. K.O., if you are reading this, this topped Edvard Grieg's "Allegro Agitato" (Op. 36). Please continue to inspire cellists like myself with your wonderful music.

Keep doing what you love and don’t let anything hold you back from doing incredible things.😄😄😄

    @Jmac1493 13 лет назад +1

    This guy is an excellent, well accomplished music. I've heard some pretty good interpretations of beat boxing, but I've never heard someone play an instrument like the cello while beat boxing. Beyond that I've never heard someone do either of these things individually as good as he does. What I love most about him apart from that he's an incredible musician, is that it's so seamless and yet very expressive at the same time. I was digging it 100%. I love that pause he did too at the end.
