It’s that time of the year again!!! Christmas is just around the corner SL Fabz, and I’m sure we are in the mood for some fun this year.
What better way to get you in the Christmas spirit than with some music?
If you’re a regular visitor of this blog, you’d know how much I love this group – Pentatonix. Whenever I’m in the mood for some Christmas Carols, I often think of them.
So, let’s spread some Christmas cheer with these songs as we count down to the big day!
Mary, Did You Know?
Little Drummer Boy
I also fell in love with this one too: Kelly Clarkson, Pentatonix – I’ll Be Home For Christmas
Ever since I heard some songs from this group ‘Pentatonix‘, I fell in love with them. So imagine my excitement when I heard that the cute African American guy in the group is actually a Nigerian!
His name is Kevin Olusola and not only does he have an amazing voice, he can make some interesting sounds with his mouth and throat that blends so well with other members of the group.
At the recent Grammy Awards, Kevin picked up an award alongside his acapella band, Pentatonix taking home the award in the ‘Arrangement, Instrumental or Acappella’ category for their medley ‘Daft Punk’, a remake of Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky”.
Even though he won it not as a Solo Artist but in a group, this is still a great feat. Congratulations! I am so proud of you.
Here are few interesting facts about Kevin:
Born in the United States to Nigerian father and Grenadian mother, Kelvin is a 26 year old beatboxer. He is a graduate of prestigious IVY League college, Yale University from where he graduated in 2011 with a degree in East Asian Studies. Kelvin is not just a musician, he’s super smart too. He also plays the cello, piano and saxophone. He also speaks fluent Chinese & Spanish.
I recall sharing a video of one of their Christmas songs last year. Check it out HERE. However, below is the song that won them the Grammy:
I was chatting with a friend yesterday about Christmas and you can imagine my surprise when she said she didn’t feel the Christmas fever like I did.
Of course, all of the shops are full of Christmas presents and buildings are decorated with Christmas lights and trees but she still didn’t feel the Christmas vibe. So, do you know what I did? I played this song for her and we spent the next hour listening to other great Christmas songs from Pentatonix and you bet, she started feeling the vibes.
This is an amazing group and most of their songs just leave goosebumps on my skin.
So guys, its two weeks to Christmas and as we count down to this awesome day, I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas in advance.
Are you in the mood for Christmas like me? Or do you need something to cheer you up? This song surely will:
