Kevin is a world class cellist, composer, linguist, musician, beatboxer, etc. He is a Renaissance man.

Kevin doesn’t sing bass, he’s a tenor. When Matt/Avi sings lead, Scott covers the bass line.

When Matt was singing solo, Kevin was bowing bass notes on the cello. Usualy, it's Scott who backs up Matt on bass notes as his range is amazing.

Everyone is always so blown away by Kevin's cello playing that they miss the amazing beatboxing he does right after he sings "Baby". The guy is just unbelievable!

By the way, he also is a master sax player. There is a You Tube video of him playing at Carnegie hall when he was 17 years old.

One of the overlooked 'little things' that fans notice about PTX is how they pull for each other and promote the others in the Group. Watch closely as Kevin 'Hits' his note in the upper portion as Mitch 'hand signs' an emphatic 'Yep... He did that'.

Kevin has played in Carnegie Hall he has placed in international competition so HE CAN PLAY at a world class level. By the way he also plays saxophone and piano.

Scott fills in the bass usually when Matt sings, but in that specific part it was Kevin with the cello.

Kevin’s a damn genius: Yale pre-med, in high school he played saxophone and cello, going to Carnegie Hall in each, and cello competitions in Europe. Besides that there’s the perfect pitch. So Matt’s a bit younger than the rest, out of Berklee School of Music in popular performance and production before moving on to the SoCal vocal scene. Growing up singing in his father’s church, he’s got some of that gospel feel.

Oh! And the unmasked version of Creep! From the masked singer- or even the video with all their masked singer performances!

Kirstin has a minor lead starting around 8:08 , just before Kevin’s cello solo. Recommend their renew version of O Holy Night for some great Matt and Kirstin moments.

Thanks for the reaction. To see more of Matt singing and Kirstin belt incredibly, watch O Holy Night. Kevin can sing higher than Mitch and Kirstin

You need to check out Kevin's Fifth from their holiday tour! He will blow you away even further.

I hope and pray this gets them another Grammy. As you said, it’s EPIC. To get an even better taste of Kevin’s mind-blowing talent as a cello-boxer, you need to watch Kevin’s Fifth and then Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy Reimagined. Both are phenomenal! I’m loving your reactions to PTX. O Holy Night (official video) is also Grammy worthy, and you will get to hear Kirstie shine in that 😊.

When people ask Mitch and Kirstin which of them can sing higher, they look at each other, shrug, and say "Maybe Kevin?" Kevin is a true polymath - a genius in multiple areas. But even he has limits. He can't sing bass.

Kevin doesn't do the bass when Matt's sings. It's Scott who takes over just like he did when Avi was still in the group. And Kevin calls it Cello-Boxing. They're all incredible. Great reaction

It's an overload of talent explosion. Scott takes over bass when the bass is on lead. Kevin: Cello,Belt,Beatbox,

Great reaction!! Usually it's Scott taking on the bass when Matt (or Avi) take lead or a verse. I can see Scott singing in the background while Matt sings, so I'm pretty sure he's doing those bass notes. Scott has a great falsetto. You should hear him and Mitch doing Defying Gravity from the Broadway play Wicked! The two of them ran a side project called Superfruit for years starting in 2013 all the way to 2019. It began as simply a weekly chat vlog and morphed into an astounding collection of pieces by either them alone or with friends. They also created a great album...Future Friends 1&2. If you stay on this path of reacting to PTX, it's worth a detour into some Superfruit stuff. This was an amazing and wonderful piece they did. All the fans were astounded at it.... truly floored at what they did....and shocked by Kevin's "Baybeee..."

They are absolutely amazing. Can not get enough. Gifted for sure, everyone of them. Combined with their humbleness, love for their fans and that they absolutely enjoy themselves and you get MAGIC!! Greetings from South Africa

All of the evolution songs PTX do are medley, like 90's Dance and Daft Punk. They have an evolution of music that is so epic. The transitions are tight. They recorded it when they were babytonics. Early in their career. Thank you for your reaction. Scott is the king of riffs and runs. His voice is like either honey or butter.I haven't figured out which yet!

Scott normally covers bass when the bass singer solos, but at that moment I think maybe you were hearing the cello. I could be wrong, but I tried watching what Scott was doing and it didn’t look like bass. It wouldn’t be the first time. In a video released between Avi leaving and Matt joining, the trio and Kevin did a cover of Dancing on My Own, and Kevin covered the bass on his cello. Wonderful reaction! Thank you!

Love this sooo much! They all get to shine and it’s absolutely amazing! This video dropped a few hours before I was going to see them live! And no, I don’t think there is anything Kevin can’t do, except maybe sing bass 😂 Kirstie had a tiny part where she was more forward, but yes I wish she had more time, although it was perfection.

If you're into a brief diversion, I'd suggest that you check out Kevin's YT channel where he does KOvers. His cover of Down by Marian Hill is a good place to start. Kevin is a one-man-band, as he uses a loop machine to meld his singing, cello playing, beat boxing, and other talents. He's an incredibly talented man.

In live performances (which this is), Scott covers the bass line whenever the bass takes a solo. The lowest I've ever heard Kevin sing is in "Run To You," where he just barely dips into the very top of a baritone register. (BTW, "Run To You" has, IMO, the most beautiful harmonies Pentatonix has ever produced, which is saying a LOT. Highly recommended.) Matt was just 23 years old when he joined Pentatonix, and bass voices improve with age. From his earliest performances with Pentatonix, Matt's warm, vibrant voice has been such an asset, whether he was "just" backing Kevin up on rhythm or whether he was soloing. But lately Matt's range has been growing by leaps and bounds. His current lowest note appears to be A1, which is just barely basso profundo, though it can't blow out speakers the way Avi's lowest notes occasionally did. On his upper end, though, all I can say is "Wow!" 😯 I believe that Matt has the largest range of any member of Pentatonix, past or present. As for Scott's range, I recommend checking out his private channel, which you can find here: youtube.com/@scotthoying He frequently uses a looper and lays down five parts for a new song, all the way from bass through soprano, singing all five himself.

Great reaction to this beautiful Pentatonix live performance. Thank you.

If you want to hear Kevin take his cello boxing to the stratosphere you have to listen to Kevin's fifth. It's a long video but well worth it it is the Genesis of Kevin with Pentatonix and how his cello boxing has developed over the last 11 years with Pentatonix. Strap yourself into your chair

Oh, that was epic reaction! Kevin making Heavy metal with the cello, you so bewildered. Kevin pops off his "Baby" and you lost it! Well, although Kevin finished his Medical School, I am sure he would have to take several classes before being ready to be a doctor. (You asked)

Have you reacted to Say Something? Kevin plays his cello in that, also check out Kevin’s 5th at the Hollywood Bowl. Mind blown!!

Great reaction. Love how you're into the intricacies.

😊❤ Hi! 😅 I love each of them, they are amazing! They really do have 5 lead singers that are amazing in their own right. But Kevin, K.O., he is something else!! You could travel to China with him, he would be your interpreter(fluentin Mandrian Chinese), if you fell down and cut your knee he could stitch you up (The group recruied Kevinto join PTX when he was enrolled in Pre-Med at Yale), he could wake you up with his beat boxing and put you to sleep with his cello and soft tenor voice!! 😊❤❤

Kirsten took point just before Kevins solo.

For another 'Cello' song, which also has more Kirstin, please check out "Shallow."

Scott is the bass back up when Matt/Avi are singing lead.

No it is Scott who takes doing the bass when Avi and Matt do Solo's

Scott’s been known to go high and low over the years but he does it much more often as he’s gotten older. You should check out his latest song, Mad About You (the cinematic version). He goes real low and real high in that one. Plus the songs amazing.

Wait two weeks and Mitch will adopt a new look. 🤪 Matt is incredible. There are several interviews out there with Matt telling his history and how he came to be with PTX. Definitely an interesting journey. Scott usually picks up the bass when Matt sings. Scott can get down pretty low, when needed. We’ve been watching these talented artists for many years so we’re used to their abilities. Kevin is an exceptional musician and performer. The first night they appeared on TV in The Sing Off, Shawn Stockman (one of the judges) was blown away by Kevin’s talent. Those Sing Off performances really track the progress of PTX from the beginning. The first night they sang, I knew I was going to be a life long fan. They were innovative and so talented from the beginning.

Kirstie was a bit in the background, but ALL of the rest of the group had simply stellar individual performances. One of their very best overall.

scott does the bass when Matt is soloing

You should react to Scott's solo projects. I think he's pure art!!!

This is an extremely masculine song. I think that's probably why they let the guys take the wheel on this one and used Kirstie's beautiful soprano in the background to add smoothness, curvature and flow to the energy.

Ok... so I don't comment much, but when I notice someone that appreciates KO (Kevin) I have to suggest checking out "The Kevin Show: Kevin's 5th!!!" Christmas 2022 Tour... 13+ minutes... thumbnail will be Scott (to make sure you've got the right one) when I say you'll be mindblown🤯!!! Is an understatement!

5:12 - Scott’s range is ridiculous. He can briefly get as high as Mitch w/his falsetto (see Superfruit’s cover of Rise), and he covers the bass part when Matt/Avi solo. He also often has very complicated background harmonies that often don’t get enough credit. Scott’s a beast. 10:09 - two things…1. When Kevin joined PTX he hadn’t spent much time singing. If you go way back to the early days you can see some insecurity when he sings, so it’s pretty remarkable how far he’s come. 2. Kevin spent time training with Yo-Yo Ma-because of course he did. 😅

It's PTX all grown up!

Subbed for more PTX Also, for some creepy, deep Matt, watch Making Christmas

⚡⚡🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥⚡⚡

He's been doing it for years with Mitch in Sup3rfruit!

Is there anything Kevin can't do? No I don't think so. Med school, several languages, sing, plays instruments, beat box and I'm sure there is more.

#Pentatonix released "Bohemian Rhapsody" almost exactly seven years ago. Mitch has been sporting the mustache for the last year or two; he was wearing it at the Grammys in 2023. It has also been in the last year or two that he's finally come to terms with the bullying he received in high school (I know, that was a long time ago, but some scars run deep). This seems to be the first time in Mitch's adult life that he's felt comfortable in his own body; the mustache MAY be an expression of that.

Aren't they just all that!

Calm down, Kevin! No, he finished his pre med at Yale!

Awesome!!

She did...

Scott and Mitch had a side channel called SuperFruit, I have to explain all this so you understand, On there Scott talked Mitch into doing his favorite song from his favorite Broadway musical, the Play is called Wicked, the song is Defying Gravity. The play is the Wizard of Oz told from the perspective of the witches. In this song one witch Elphaba (strange name I know) is arguing with Glenda about learning how to be the first witch to fly on a broom. (the name Defying Gravity makes sense now). You kind of need to understand all of this to not only understand the song, but their "costumes". This song will give you an idea just how high Mitch can go, but I feel he can still go higher. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rMp-hsxhnLqZd4U.html

Avi picked out Matt for pentatonix before he left the group.

Kevin doesn't fill in as bass. He has a tenor voice. Scott fills in as bass when Matt solos. He did so far Avi as well.

For the love of God play the video.
