    this is why Pentatonix is perfect
    Avi- my favorite bass singer
    Kevin- super-talented dude
    Scott- awesome vocal range
    Mitch- my favorite falsetto
    Kirstie-her style is just magnificent

      Russel Tawaran Mitch and Kirstie are almost tied for first but I know more of Mitch's personality from superfruit so kirstie is definetly 2nd and avi Scott and Kev are all tied for third 😂

I've been crying since Saturday night and I can only imagine what you are feeling.. I want to share with you my favorite canon/poem which you may have already read but I want to give you a gift to hopefully help ease the pain.. #WEAREGAVI #FOREVERGAVI #RIPGAVI
    In the Next Room
    Death is nothing at all:
    I have only slipped away into the next room.
    I am I and you are you;
    Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
    Call me by my old familiar name.
    Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
    Put no difference in your tone:
    Wear no forced air or solemnity or sorrow.
    Laugh as we always laughed at the
    little jokes we enjoyed together.
    Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
    Why should I be out of mind
    because I am out of sight?
    I am but waiting for you, for an interval,
    somewhere very near,
    Just around the corner. All is well.

    So, I have known about PTX for over a year now. I love a lot of their covers but there is a hidden talent behind it all that is the root and foundation. It's this guy. His vocal and musical capabilities is purely amazing. Heavenly if you wish. Great job and I'm glad I discovered your channel here. Keep on doing your thing man. Your creativity is astonishing.

    I feel like it may just be me who thinks this but kevin is really under rated
    like there are so many dupe accounts for all the others and then kevin has maybe 5
    like he's so talented and amazing like he has a beautiful voice he is super good at cello and beatboxing
    yet he barely gets the credit he deserves :(
    and if there's a slight chance you'll see this kevin, you're amazing and so incredibly talented and I love yo so much, he is one of the reasons I am still waking up in the morning because he is just so inspiring

    This is amazing! I fell asleep while listening to Pentatonix Radio on Pandora. I was kind of in that state when you hear music in your sleep and it affects your dreams. Well this song came on. I had just recently lost both of my grandparents to cancer (they passed only a few months from each other). For some reason this song made me dream about them, and how I so badly missed them and wanted them to stay with me. I woke up with a wet pillow and damp cheeks. This song made me cry in my sleep. It's beautiful.

    I don't believe that the other members of PTX knew what they were doing when they just used him for beat boxing. Kevin, you are living proof that people can do anything that they put their mind to. I'm sure that in the beginning, it wasn't easy. I'm sure that there were a lot of sleepless nights, but you've made it. Your doing what you want to do. Keep it up.
    With love,

      They have featured his cello playing in some videos and have promoted his ventures with the cello. It's how they learned of him in the first place. They are an aceppla group which means that they dont use his cello playing much because its not a part of the genre.
