Keep in mind that this whole one-man-production gig is KO’s *fifth* musical specialty. He started with saxophone and played on stage at Carnegie Hall as a teenager. Second is cello, at which he is obviously exceptional. He parleyed the cello into celloboxing, his hybrid beatboxing and cello performance (which is how the other PTX members found him), once he joined PTX, he started beatboxing full time and then they taught him how to sing - turns out he’s a great tenor! - and now, for music gig number five, he’s producing and performing music that would not be out of place in any internationally known club. Amazing. Ridiculous, but amazing. And he’s just thirty-one. I mean, good grief!

Kevin also participated in "celloboxing" competitions while he lived in Beijing for college, and his vocal beatboxing/cello mashup style even impressed Yo-Yo Ma! When he got back to the states he posted a youtube video of a celloboxing piece he arranged, and when it went viral Scott Hoying saw it and asked Kevin to be in the group literally THE DAY BEFORE the live audition on the Singoff! This is Kevin's famous video that led him to PTX

I wanted to ask/suggest the Swedish power metal band Sabaton for your listening pleasure. Pretty much anything by them absolutely rocks, but some standouts would be "Bismarck", "Great War", "Fields of Verdun", "Attack of the Dead Men", "To Hell & Back", "82nd All the Way", or "Primo Victoria".

I also have a second band recommendation. I heartily recommend you look into the Monsters of Finland themselves, better known as Lordi. Their singles "Blood Red Sandman" or "Hard Rock Hallelujah" are probably the best representation of just how awesome they are.
