Over the past decade, the Grammy-winning a cappella group Pentatonix has progressed significantly. Since winning the third season of NBC’s “The Sing-Off” in 2011, the group has released multiple EPs and full-length albums, performed tributes on multiple award shows, and gone viral after their collaboration with Dolly Parton on “Jolene” was featured on “The Voice.” This collaboration also earned Pentatonix their third Grammy.
Kevin Olusola, the beatboxer for Pentatonix, wed his longtime girlfriend Leigh Weissman in a two-day ceremony just over a year ago. Since then, the devout Christian — who was born in Pasadena to Nigerian immigrants but grew up in Kentucky — has purchased a $2.8 million home in Westlake Village, a family-friendly suburb an hour north of Downtown Los Angeles.
Built in 1979 but extensively renovated in 2018, Olusola’s new residence is perched atop a peaceful ridgeline cul-de-sac with panoramic views of the surrounding hills and hiking trails. A brick walkway leads past the attached three-car garage to the double front doors, which swing open to reveal cream-colored parquet floors in the foyer. Just beyond the adjoining great room, LaCantina foldaway doors allow for seamless indoor/outdoor living and offer breathtaking views of the undulating hills.

Back inside, the expansive great room includes a family/living space with a linear fireplace and built-in cabinetry. The attached kitchen is described in the listing as a “gourmet chef’s fantasy kitchen” and features an expensive Ann Sacks tile backsplash, premium SubZero and Wolf appliances, and Caesarstone countertops. A butler’s pantry is connected to the formal dining room, which has a sassy contemporary design with an icicle chandelier, fabric walls, and a white stone fireplace. In addition to a living room with a contemporary bar, the main floor features a guest bedroom suite, mud room, and laundry room.
There are four additional bedrooms on the second floor, including a large master suite with its own fireplace and seating area, as well as a bathroom with dual vanities and a glass steam shower. A large terrace just off the main landing offers expansive views of the sunset over the undisturbed surrounding hills.
A small patch of grass and a brick-and-concrete patio surround the irregularly-shaped, hexadecagonal pool and Jacuzzi in the backyard. Other residential features include epoxy garage flooring, a Sonos audiovisual system, motorized window coverings from Lutron, and recessed LED lighting throughout.
Olusola, age 32, still retains his Los Angeles bachelor pad, a three-bedroom townhouse in a posh gated complex in the rapidly gentrifying neighborhood of Hawthorne. According to the listing, this property, which was purchased for approximately $850,000 in 2016, is currently on the market with an asking price of $999,000 and is already in escrow and seeking fallback offers.
