As one-fifth of three-time Grammy® Award-winning and multi-Platinum-selling a cappella phenomenon Pentatonix, the multi-faceted artist Kevin Olusola defies stereotypes by reimagining classical musicianship through a modern sonic and lyrical lens, all the while balancing his dynamic background of Nigerian and Grenadian heritage. As the pioneer of “celloboxing” — playing the cello and beatboxing at the same time — he’s performed on stages like Carnegie Hall and has garnered international acclaim and recognition from music industry leaders including Yo-Yo Ma, Quincy Jones, Pharrell, and countless others. With his debut solo album, DAWN OF A MISFIT, out now via Sony Music Masterworks, Olusola uses his love of classical music as the backdrop to tell his story as a first-generation person growing up in a Western country. He hopes his music unlocks entry points for those unfamiliar with the classical genre.
