You guys should read him up on his Wiki page before you start making ish comments---this guy is straight-up Naija. I love their group Pentatonix, have their Christmas album and I've been repping Kevin, check my posts (What music are you listening thread etc) I'm happy for him the guy has MAAAD skills. As of December 2014 he was the only member of his group to actually have a Wikipedia page. Yep, as of that time I checked.

How is he straight up naija?

souleymon:

The biggest annual music award, The Grammys in its 57th edition, went down on Sunday, February 9, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California and guess what a Nigerian went home with an award. Yes you heard right! A Nigerian won for the first time!

Nigerian, Kelvin Olusola, went home with the award for Best Arrangement, Instrumental Or Acapella.

Kelvin picked up an award alongside his acapella band, Pentatonix taking home the award in the ‘Arrangement, Instrumental or acappella’ category for their medley ‘Daft Punk’, a remake of Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky.



Here are few things you need to know about the record breaker, Kelvin Olusola:

He is a graduate of prestigious IVY League college, Yale University from where he graduated in 2011 with a degree in East Asian Studies.

He also speaks fluent Chinese & Spanish.

u have brought up tribal issue here now. in the thread of the 15yrd old nigerian girl that invented a generator with urine i know how pple finished the person that pointed out that she's Igbo saying we must not insist on her tribe, she's Nigerian nthat's what matters so i'm saying the same thing to you here.

Kelvin of Pentatonix! This guys transformed that boring "para pa pa pam" Christmas song and made me love it to pieces. Kai, they are good. Very nice blend.

Grammy not oscars ode!

There would have been another winner this year.......ode.

Grammy, Oscar, etc......a win is a win.

Nigeria claiming successful people since 18BC.

Continue deceiving yourself!

Egbagirl:


How is he straight up naija?

Meaning he has a Nigerian father. Yes he was born and raised there but unlike some people he maintained his full Naija name ie Kevin Olusola, never calling himself by some fake nickname to fit in. People coming on here acting like we can't claim he's a Nigerian because he was never born here is bull. Kim Kardashian is known to be Armenian even though she was born in America. Same difference.

I am still waiting for 9ice, for the grammy he promised to bring us

I'll take it you're joking. He had a nigerian father and that makes him a Nigerian? Is he a citizen of Nigeria? Was he born in Nigeria? Does he have a Nigerian passport? Has he ever lived in Nigeria? (Even if he has lived there, it's not enough to say he is Nigerian).
He used his full name "Kevin Olusola". Which name he suppose use? Your papa name?
Kim K is known to be Armenian? By who?
