26 year old Kevin Olusola is a singer, producer, cellist, beatboxer, saxophonist and songwriter born to Nigerian American Oluwole Olusola, who is a psychiatrist and his mum Curline Paul a nurse.

He won a Grammy with his group "Pentatonix". Pentatonix is an Capella group and they won in the "Arrangement, Instrumental or A Capella category" for their remake of Daft Funk's hit single "Get lucky" featuring Pharell Williams.


The musician was chosen by influential American music producer, Quincy Jones to represent him in concert at the 2012 Montreux Jazz Festival.

Kelvin is not all about the music though, he is also book smart. He got offered admission into Ivy league universities Princeton University, Yale University, University of Pennsylvania, Brown University and Stanford University. He opted for Yale where he bagged a degree in East Asian studies.
