Pentatonix's Kevin Olusola Talks Triptyq, Solo Projects & Group's Future: Interview
As a member of Pentatonix, Kevin Olusola helped push the a cappella group to win Season 3 of The Sing-Off, land two GRAMMYs and score a No. 1 album as the vocal quintet's resident beatboxer. But on the side, the Yale graduate and acclaimed "celloboxer" is exploring new musical territory, including with his first official side group, Triptyq.
Described by Olusola as "urban and classical fused," Triptyq (pronounced "trip-tick") is made up of himself, singer/Roots collaborator Antoniette Costa and pianist Tara Kamangar. Brought together by mutual friends in college, the trio initially bonded over a mutual love of classical music, but never thought their Bach-plus-beatboxin' sound could be parlayed into something more.
