He was born a beast, I guess.

From what I hear the only thing he wasn't great at (meaning at professional level) by the time he joined PTX was singing. He could rap, beatbox, play sax & cello, beatbox while doing cello, speak a very difficult foreign language fluently, was an all around great student, all achieved by an amazing work ethic & near inhuman level of multitasking. The thing he had spent the least time on was actual singing, but as such an overachiever of course he didn't stop there. So after joining PTX he got lessons (from Avi mostly) until he was confident on his singing too, & that's when they started having him sing sometimes also. His role as beatboxer in the group doesn't leave much room for that, but he's doing it more & a lot in his solo work now.

Yes, a prodigy. Kevin played Carnegie Hall twice as a teen. Once with his sax and once with his cello. He also has perfect pitch.

So there's a video that's just his performance, then? I'm so glad to have seen the opening! I wish I could watch the other performances, too. Kevin appears to have bonded with that tiny pianist.

I would love that too!

PTX JUNKIE Does he? I haven’t managed to find any other videos of him on the sax. Please point me in the right direction.

@@LeskeyC001 he has on his Instagram and during 1 of his music jam Instagram lives he played an alto sax.

PTX JUNKIE Thanks. I’ll look him up.Isn’t it interesting that with all his ability on so many instruments, he found game as a beat boxer? At least initially.

He bought a new saxophone not that long ago...keeping my fingers crossed that he may play in a PTX song/vid sometime!

Auntie Angie certainly something to look out for!

Janet Triyarn hey! Thank you for commenting! Good to see you too!

He did graduate pre-med from Yale.

@@vidsorama2 His degree was in East Asian Studies, but he did complete all pre-med requirements. There really is no "Pre-med" degree, you just have to complete certain classes to be considered for med school. Most pre-meds major in biology or chemistry or similiar, but he fell in love with the Chinese language and changed his major from music to East Asian Studies. He is awesome-smart, talented, and a good person.

I thought that too hey ? I think KO is going to be one of those lucky people who just look the same forever and never age !

That's what I was thinking! If I hadn't seen videos of him as a child, I would say he was born about 26 and will stay there the rest of his life.

@@janetranslates my daughter is kind of the same way. When she hit about 16, she seemed to slow down in aging. She is 36 now and people still ask her what college is she in. She is carded a little less often than she used to be. :o)

That's not the case. He had just graduated from Yale and was preparing to go to med school. When he told his parents he was deferring med school to give PTX a shot, I think they were indeed a little bit worried, but as you say, it all worked out.

@@susanb4213 I meant to write he was entering in his first year of Pre Med - thank you for the correction.

@@JoSedunary But that's still not correct. First year of pre-med is freshman year of college. He had already graduated from college (Yale) when PTX formed. So no, he had completed all of the pre-med requirements while getting his college degree in East Asian Studies. Regardless, I think we can all agree that it was a fortunate event that he decided not to go to med school and chose to be a professional musician instead!
