What Kevin does here is called "celloboxing." PTX's life is very fast-paced. When they're on tour, they perform almost every night, BUT they devote the entire afternoon to fans who've bought VIP passes: soundcheck, Q&A, meet & greet with autographs, posed photos with each of some 100 fans, private performance with 10-12 fans--and all this before they dress and warm up for the show. They often meet fans at the tour bus afterwards, too. Then they compose, arrange, & shoot videos during tour as well, and appear on TV and radio shows in every city. When they sightsee in Europe, they stop and talk to fans. They post constantly on all social media. They put out an album a year and usually a Christmas one as well; if not, they record a couple of new Christmas songs for a deluxe edition. They're on tour most of the year, and do scattered concerts when they're not on tour. They go to the US, Canada, Europe, Japan, and Australia nearly every year, and occasionally other countries as well. THEY WORK SO HARD! In addition, each of the five has put out at least one solo EP (Scott & Mitch together as Superfruit). It's no wonder it's too much for Avi. And yes, he is a nature boy! Check out his music (4 videos and 2 other songs) as Avriel and the Sequoias. And Kirstin's new EP, "Love."
Yes, well said
Kevin Olusola not only plays the cello, that dude can speak fluent mandarin! Smart af. Check him out!
Yup he can speak Spanish and french and can play the saxophone and piano
Don't forget he was pre-med at Yale lol, Kevin's an amazing guy all around.
Jeffery Miller I believe Kevin can speak 5 languages, play the Cello, piano, & a brass instrument. He also has a pre-med degree from Yale college. He can both beat-box while playing the Cello, and sing very well.. he's really a talented musician.
Not a brass instrument ... he plays the saxophone very well
Avi could've stayed with them but it would have been really bad for his mental health. And while it is heartbreaking that he's leaving, more than ANYTHING, the fans want and the rest of the group wants him to be happy and healthy. The thing you have to know about the other 4 is that they are all VERY into working and making music and don't have as much trouble with that kind of pace that Avi does. And Avi knows that and would never ask them to slow down their pace and risk them missing out on opportunities because of him. He has always been EXTREMELY family oriented and being away from his family (especially his mom and dad) for such a long time consistently over the past 6 years has probably been really hard for him. But on the bright side it has given them time to work on all of their solo projects and all of them are incredible!
Yes, this
I was scrolling down to see if anyone else was thinking about the other solo projects. Kirstin is doing her own thing, and the Scott and Mitch have Superfruit. PLUS, they just released a tweet not too long ago that stated "NEW MUSIC. NEW VOICE. NEW VIDEOS. NEW TOUR. #SOON." Home Free had a similar situation where one of the founders left and they got a new person. Now it wasn't their bass, but with only 5 people in a group, it's pretty damn obvious when one gets changed out with someone else. Home Free definitely did a good job with adding Adam, but it still is noticeable. (Not in a bad way mind you, but still noticeable.)
Three years later.
Avi's mother was having a second scare of cancer.
He was wanting to be able to be with her and his dad.
He was talking this week abut his mental health.
His favorite place is his cabin in the forests of Tennessee.
He walks through those forests everyday he can.
He is gardening, has made 3 EP's and generally drops a from home video each week.
You mentioned Kevin's chello sounding like Avi's voice.
His first album, Avriel and the Sequoias, has a song titled Fields and Pier that has Avi's
voice with Kevin matching his notes on the chello.
While Avi is probably not doing "your kind of music", this short combo is beautiful.
Kevin had a celloboxing vid go viral, and that's how Scott found him for the SingOff! in 2011. He's...amazing. I mean, they all are, but Kevin is just that much more of an overachiever.
I don't know if PTX meant this to be "about" Avi leaving - but yeah, I read that into it as well, even down to the "sad, but not in a bad way, just in an 'it's over and I wish it weren't but I really want you to be happy" way.
I have a huge amount of respect for PTX. I can't think of another group where, when someone left, the whole group was together for them when they announced the decision. They have all given a lot of themselves to us, and let us be...part of their, um, tribe? clan? family? I don't know. But all of us Pentaholics have this "I feel like they're my friends and I really want to hang out with them" vibe, I think. And, like true friends do, when someone needs something to stay who they are, or want/need to be, everything I've seen from the rest of the group and from Pentaholics in general has been "thank you for everything you've done for us, Avi, and we can't wait to see what's ahead for you and for PTX, we love you and love you being true to yourself!"
PTX has helped me get through a not-so-hot couple of years; I can only wish them, all of them, the very best, together or apart.
R Etset Same 💯
Avi has made it a very big point in the past that his family is incredibly important to him. In their documentary, a vast majority of his screentime was him talking about his family and how much he loved them and how hard it was to be away from them - Pentatonix's original song, "Standing By," which he sings, is even about that exact subject. I won't say that him announcing his departure from the group wasn't surprising, because it definitely was, but his reasons for doing so were definitely not unexpected. It's incredibly sad, especially for us die-hard fans, but I'm happy to say that he's been getting support all across the board. PTX is on a kind of hiatus for the next year while they work on solo stuff and attempt to find a new bass, according to a few interviews they've done.
In addition, Avi has said that his biggest fear is not finding the love of his life. And, also, that he's been ready to have kids for 'a long time now'. His life has been so work-focused that he hasn't had time to nurture other important parts of his life.
Also, both Avi and Mitch struggle with anxiety and depression. Mitch has an anchor with him wherever he goes in Scott. He's openly said that Scott is the one that helps him cope with his anxiety and panic attacks. Probably one of the reasons that Avi's sister Esther has travelled with them is to support Avi (as well as to manage the tour itself).
But I think he just needs to get off the merry-go-round. Kevin and Scott are both beasts when it comes to relentless effort and pursuit of excellence. Unending effort is what has enabled PTX to swim upstream and make an A cappella band a mainstream success. Mitch and Kirstin are happy to work alongside them. But for Avi, there's got to be several times where he's looked around and thought 'is this what I really want'? Too much of a good thing is still simply that. Too much.
Margaret Kime . Does his sister still manages the tour?
Glad you reacted to the announcement video as well. I felt it was beautifully done with the other members sitting by his side, because to me, personally as a fan, it was comforting to know that they are not separating on bad terms and that the others support him with his decision, as hard as it is to digest. Avi has always been a family guy & nature boy.. In all their interviews and tour backstage clips, he's always mentioning how much he misses his family and talks about how being away from them is hard..
And I do feel the song was appropriately picked kind of as an ode to Avi can I say? The cello solo...Scott's "I just came to say goodbye"..The lyrics in general actually.. Not with any negativity though, that's not them.. They all are still very much friends and deeply love and care for each other
React to Say Something! Kevin plays the cello in it too
"Say Something" is amazing.
yes yes one of the BEST covers they've done
yes I agree you should definatley react to it, Kevins cello is awesome, Kirstin goes off, avi has a moment.
yessss
Great reaction. Avi's leaving - he's since done interviews in support of his solo EP where he's elaborated that he's had major anxiety since childhood and that the fast pace (7 eps in 6 years/constant touring/promotion usually 11 months out of the years) only increased the anxiety. I loved the new song and we're, I think, all waiting to see who they get as the new bass.
I'm unbelievably happy that y'all did another PTX reaction. I have missed them sincerely. I know that you react to A LOT of content on this channel, but Pentatonix has some amazing stuff out there that I would love for y'all to watch. Please consider doing more of their videos.
Also Avi has an EP out now. It's called Sage and Stone. He just released a video of a cover of Hey Ya with his new group. It's really great. You should check it out when you get a chance. It shows how happy he is now ☺️
My read that Avi's mother had been battling cancer for some time and, in addition to their mad pace of touring, recording, and making music, Avi was often flying to spend some time with his mother and the rest of his family whenever he could. It must have exhausted him in several ways. He also grew up next to the Sequoia National Park in California and loved to spend time in the park.
I will say people are built differently! Mitch and Scott (and they said so) they are the kind of people to always be working! And on the contrary, Avi is not like this. He was able to do this for six years but of course over time if you have not been accustomed to that fast pace, these factors wane on mental and physical health. And because many artists are not willing, or find it hard to give up the success for their benefit, they turn to drugs to cope. I prefer Avi to leave and keep his sanity and still having him do music (solo) and possibly guest appearances with the group, than to hear otherwise (in a negative light) for the sake of the current success trajectory. That's my take on it!
AMEN!!!
Kevin has had two EPs out with him playing cello and beat boxing. One is a solo work called Renegade, and the other is a side group called Triptyq with two women, one a singer and the other a violinist/pianist. Both did pretty well on the classical charts.
Thanks for the thoughtful reaction. You can imagine how hard watching each of these videos was for longtime fans. Like Roman, I wondered why couldn't they just slow down as a group, doing solo projects off and on. But maybe there is more to it. In the "Dancing On My Own" video - I think they seemed sad, but it was good to hear a new song. Someone said that it was classy for them to wait until the end of their last tour with Avi in Sept. to bring in a new bass, and I agree. If you want to see another video with Kevin cello-boxing, check out "PTX Radioactive ft. Lindsey Sterling".
Since avi decided to focus on what he wants, he released a solo ep, and a cover of hey ya. His group is avriel and the sequoias, you should check em out.
One of the things that isn’t mentioned was that during all of this touring his mom was struggling with cancer. And with the touring he couldn’t be there for her when she needed him.
Avi is still singing with the tour this year!! It will be great to hear him sing since I'm going to the Indy show!!
If you haven't yet, watch the documentary and watch the vlogs. You'll get a much better sense of who they are and how close they all are to each other. I spent time watching old interviews and podcasts and they help you feel the bond they've developed with each other. You'll also get a better sense of their personalities...I can't accurately describe how much more it made me love and appreciate them.
Kevin plays the cello in radioactive, say something, and Papaoutai
i love the concept of three person do the disscussion and the comments which all compliments each other. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Kevin plays cello in several songs. Say Something, Papaouti, Radioactive. And as much as I LOVE the cello, Avi was such a huge part of this group, it's crazy how different their sound is.
Also, will you please watch Kevin's latest cover of Down? The title of the video is *Down (Marian Hill KOver) - Kevin "K.O." Olusola* IT IS INSANE!! 😍❤
I miss Avi😪 but I'm happy he's chasing his dreams Much Love to him that cello does sound like Avi and Kevin played it beautifully like always did y'all know that he also plays piano and saxophone too he has his on youtube channel y'all should check it out youtube channel is Kevin Ollusola this dude is multitask he can also speak Chinese, Spanish and I think French
Kevin has played at Carnegie Hall, and they found him on CZcams playing the cello and beat boxing years ago, and asked him to be their beat box on The Sing Off.
Who knew that Kelsey Grammer, John Gosselin & Molly Ringwald had a You Tube channel together. Awesome....thanks for sharing.
React to Pentatonix La la latch! 💕
Forgot something VERY IMPORTANT! You said Avi sounds like a cello. It's true. Watch Avriel & the Sequoias, "Fields and Pier." At one point--well, actually two points--Kevin plays cello (you can't see him) and Avi doubles it. It's hard to tell the human voice from the cello.
He has played the cello and the saxophone at Carnegie Hall and csme in 2nd at YoYo Ma's Cello competition doing cello boxing.
There was a video of him beatboxing and playing the cello on youtube and that is how the guys found him to help them when they wanted to to appear on the sing-off
The first time I didn't cry while watching Dancing on my Own and y'all played his announcement. The tears are falling.
Thanks for reacting... My new favorite song... it's kind of bitter sweet.
Avis mother was also in a wreck a while back I feel as though (dont know for sure) he wants to be in music but in a way where no regrets if something were to happen. He is a big family man. The others grasped the life of Cali and i think when that happened he it hit home for him. thank you for this reaction
Please react to their performance on the Sing Off "Dog Days Are Over"! It's beautiful and fetus PTX is adorable!
Damn. I can't watch that announcement video without crying. Avi is such a pure soul and I understand his decision completely.
If you really liked Kevin's celloboxing, you should check out his cover of Demi Lovato's Heart Attack will completely blow you away
on second thought forget Heart Attack. His new cover of down is one of the best videos of the year you seriously need to react to this one
You should react to Kevin's cover of 'Down' by Marian Hill ! There's no word to describe how amazing and talented this guy is
You guys should definitely check out their solo albums and music videos.
A good song to react to, would be Rather Be by Pentatonix (Clean Bandit Cover). It's a great song.
If y'all like PTX and Superfruit, you oughta look at another a capella group that came from "The Sing Off". Home Free is another 5 top group that does something even more complex than just a capella. They do country a capella. It's extremely unique compared to other a capella groups, and it's GOOD!
Wow I didn’t think you guys would go to the vid with Avi leaving so you now have me in tears😭😔✌🏻
You should react to Avi's Quarter past four.. Feel like this highlight a lot of what he was/is feeling.
the cello sounds like avi voice😭
If you want to see Kevin really work his magic you should check out his looping cover of Sam Smith's Stay With Me. It's awesome!!!
You should react to Kevin's new Down cover! Amazing reaction.
You guys HAVE to check out "Loïc Nottet Elastic Heart" he's literally the male Sia, his vocals are awesome!!
Kevin also plays the saxophone.
PTX is competing against the biggest in the music industry. If they slow down even a little, they'll be overtaken and destroyed. Avi understands this. He just can't keep up with it. I wouldn't be able to either. You should watch Fields And Pier from his new EP Avriel and The Sequoias. He's doing what music he truly loves now and you can feel it through his songs. He truly is putting his whole heart into his music, gifting us who understand and still follow him with the beauty of his music.
as always, love your reactions
Great reactions. Please react to more Pentatonix. Also Superfruit! They're releasing music videos every Friday and I have a feeling you guys will like them.
Omg y'all should totally react to Champagne Taste (On A Beer Budget) by Home Free, it's such a fun song, and they're an acapella group too!!
You guys should react to Avi's solo stuff. Avriel and the Sequoias. Hey Ya and a couple are my favorite. I think you'd like them.
6:36 Noooooo!!!! (starts crying again)
Please react to Avi' s solo music: Avriel and the Sequoias
Avi released an EP and all of the songs are awesome and you need to check them out.
Just want to say upfront that I am a fan of your reactions and I feel that you're all pretty knowledge which is what leads me to my one minor pet peeve...its seems to me that reacting to music played through the horrible quality speakers of a laptop is akin to judging the merits of a 3D picture with one eye closed. I would REALLY love to see how much more dynamic your take on music would be with better fidelity speakers or the best option, headphones. Again, still enjoy your vids regardless, just a thought. Keep up the great work all!
Kevin released his own EP with his cello. It's great you need to react to his videos.
If you like Kevin!!!! You need to react to Down (Marian Hill cover) - Kevin "K.O." Olusola!!! A true triple threat!!!
please react to some of avis solo stuff since he left.sweet adeline is so good and he sounds great and looks so very happy
I wonder if there is pressure from the label to keep the schedule.
Please react to Avril and the Sequoias' cover of Hey Ya!
You guys should check put kevins newest video. It only came out yesterday. It involves him playing cello beatboxing, singing and playing guitar with an electric cello. He is amazing
I really really love your reactions, especially to PTX and SF. Have you seen any of SF's original music videos yet? They just released an EP and are doing a MV for each song.
I don't know who much is true, but I think his mother was also sick during the last time, hope someone could said if this is true or not? I saw in other video but I never hear this too much to know if is true.
And also, the rhythm they followed until before the pandemic was wild, and they were in constant movement, recording material, many videos on CZcams, (because it is their main means of exposure) tours, promotions, I think that was too much and not everyone can handle that rhythm of life, without losing themselves,
And even if I love Avi, he is doing music and we could hear him there and Matt has gain a lo of fans, because he is good at singing and is a nice guy
Kirstin was so pissed at avi
With RCA running the group at this point, I'm sure they have certaun demands that have to be met too.
Please react to Major Lazer - Sua cara (ft. Anitta & Pabllo Vittar)
PLEASE react to Kevin Olusola "Down" cover from his own CZcams channel. He is so talented

It's also because Avis mother is ill. And he needs to be with her.
Are they looking for a new bassist or will they just use Kevin's cello from now on? And if they do, can they still be classed as acapella at the Grammys?
