We're a microcosm of America and are blessed to live in a country that's so diverse. While it's great for people to see that we can love and respect each other and work together, despite our differences, at the end of the day, we just want to make great music.

I'm not perfect, I would never say that, I just believe that if I try my hardest to be consistent, show what I believe, and live it, most importantly, then that will hopefully shine through more.

Kevin Olusola

I actually love the challenge of being in a new place where I'm so obviously the foreigner.

Kevin Olusola

Work extremely hard, but as you continue to rise up the ladder, never forget your roots or where you came from or the people that helped you along the way. Humility takes people the farthest.

Kevin Olusola

I am a singer, first and foremost, but the medium happens to be the cello.

We can watch videos of our whole journey - from old tours to doing the AMAs (American Music Awards) in 2013 and through the 'Star Wars' medley or when we sang with Stevie Wonder on the Grammys. I just sit back and say, 'I can't believe we did all this!'

Kevin Olusola

With an arena, it sounds so big and full sometimes it can obstruct the way we sing because we're hearing so much slapback and things like that.

Kevin Olusola

I will say, all the Barden Bellas are hot.

I studied a month in Costa Rica and loved it. I'm not scared to go abroad. I feel like I can figure things out and I know what to do.

Kevin Olusola

Kids bring their mothers and grandmothers to our concerts. You don't see that with a lot of artists today.

Kevin Olusola

Well, my parents live in Cambridge, Maryland.

It's quite difficult to figure out a common thread among us all as we're five very different people who love different types of music.

Kevin Olusola

I loved the idea of playing cello whilst beatboxing, and I ran with it. I didn't realize that it would put me in front of people like Quincy Jones or Chinese Vice Premier Wang Yang, or even lead me to my current job, being the beatboxer of Pentatonix.

Kevin Olusola

My parents always wanted me to do music because they thought it was such a great extracurricular activity but we never thought it was going to be something that would be my career.

Kevin Olusola

From my situation as an African American person in the U.S., people may look at me and think a certain thing without getting to know me. I'm of Nigerian and Caribbean heritage. I went to Yale. What you see is not what you think you're getting.

Kevin Olusola

I would have never thought to put cello and beatboxing together. But I did, and it was extremely hard work to make it cohesive and musical, but it worked.

Kevin Olusola

To be able to wake up and know I get to do music every single day - arrange music, compose music, write music and to be with my four best friends in the world, and just to go and do performances and to tour, it's honestly a dream come true.

Kevin Olusola

I never thought that I would pursue a cappella music. I went to Yale College and I was going to go into the medical field.

Kevin Olusola

When you think about choir music, that's a cappella. You have church choir that you would sing without any instrument. I think the popular form that we have now is barbershop in the 20th century, and the collegiate movement.

Kevin Olusola

Of the members of the band, I'm the biggest Michael Jackson fan.

Kevin Olusola

I was actually going to go to a conservatory after I graduated college, now I'm thankful that Pentatonix happened because I'm working with singers in this realm of mainstream music, and to learn about how all that comes together has really helped my cello playing.
