The musician was chosen by influential American music producer, Quincy Jones to represent him in concert at the 2012 Montreux Jazz Festival. Kelvin is not all about the music though, he is also book smart.

He got offered admission into Ivy league universities Princeton University, Yale University, University of Pennsylvania, Brown University and Stanford University. He opted for Yale where he bagged a degree in East Asian studies. East Asian Studies wasn't his first course of study at Yale though as he initially wanted to study medicine and even finished all his pre-med requirements but changed his mind after he was introduced to China through a 10-day Chinese government sponsored trip for 100 Yalies.

In school, Olusola was the Director of Communications for a Rhodes Scholar-led non- profit called College Outreach and also worked as a book monitor in the Yale Law School library.
