Dr. Krish Kandiah is joined by Kevin Olusola, a member of the chart topping acapella group Pentatonix, to hear his story of life, music, and faith intersecting. Known for his “cello boxing” (playing the cello while beatboxing), he rose to fame as Pentatonix won the TV show The Sing Off and later became known for viral YouTube covers and fresh remakes of Christmas classics.

Kevin openly shares about what it is like to be a Christian in the music industry. What encourages him is the opportunity to be a light in dark places, which both the music industry and living in LA can feel like as a Christian. This mission is what helped inspire him to start Imagine LA, a community focused on bringing justice to cycles of family poverty and homelessness.

If you want to be inspired and encouraged to embrace God’s mission with whatever opportunities He lays before you, check out this conversation with Kevin Olusola!
