I said to my gf yesterday that black people changed the courses ofmusic multiple times even when the possibilities seems exhausted..love and respect from China❤
I ain’t surprise D’elect emerged at the #1 amongst the 10. That guy’s choice of Chord is something else. He plays exactly the way my ears and mind want to hear it and even more mind blowing stuff. Kudos @Samy Key
Nice Content Samy Keyz. i just wanted to correct that your title should have been "TOP 10 POPULAR GOSPEL PIANISTS IN NIGERIA". From your line ups, all you have brilliantly stated are only musicians from the gospel genre. Traditionally, based on the historical respect for piano itself, Classical Pianists should be the first consideration, followed by Jazz, then Gospel (which is actually a blend of Classical and Jazz Musical Idioms). we have fantastic Classical Pianists in Nigeria like Sir. Ayo Bankole Jr., Tosin Ajayi, Korede Omopeloye, Eze Victor, Kasiemobi Udemadu, Etc.. For Jazz, we have people like Ini Dminstrel, Simon Ekpe Keys, Timothy Digba Ogunbiyi, Timilehin Iyiola, Mr. Amos (Nathaniel Bassey's Pianist), Matonic, Black Keys Adedeji, Jerry Jazz, Lucky (TPH, Dome), Joshua Ukwu etc For a more elite audience, your list could be considered wrong based on the title as "TOP 10 POPULAR PIANISTS IN NIGERIA". most of these people i mentioned are global, some even have PHD in Piano from the top Music Schools in the world and have done Global projects with Fortune 500 and Multi National Companies. they are also popular. Popular is relative. Who is popular to you might not be popular to someone else even in Nigeria, based on interest. however, the title should be based on Gospel Pianist not "Pianist" cos these guys are only big on gospel music and mainstream. Piano is beyond these : we have Afro Cuban style, Jazz, Pop, Jazz (over 20 sub genres), Classical, Neo Soul, Fusion, Rock, and thousands of Piano Styles (some are authority in just one genre, due to the vastness of that genre so they identify with a genre). i hope i was able to correct that. nice content still. More Blessings my brother, One Love
When you put D'elect in number 1 i just knew you will go far and you understand music. With over 35 years playing experience i am qualified to rank them. Nobody is as good as D' elect . Its just that he is not gifted in teaching. Hi is a specimen
They are all great honestly ...buh to rate for contemporary best piano players it should be SMJ,D'ELECT ,HILLS PLAY,DEJI AND the number 4 and Masterkraft ..yh
I am sorry to say that the person you ranked number 6 before SMJ is not actually correct. SMJ is way way faster and better. Except you upload a video that shows he is better. But I doubt he can even match SMJ. I was there live when SMJ played in that video.
Very poor research..You had one chance to make your channel amazing and you blew it... you talking about top pianists and you're involving pple good with arrangements.. that's a terrible mix up..Making arrangements via a computer and playing the piano are two different skills.. are you a musician at all?? Where is Lucky Benjamin? Do you know Lucky? What about DBF? Exactly why I said poor research.. And how do you put juzzypro among the least ...Are you joking? Chibuzor better than wole oni? On what grounds?? Bcos he played for Kim burrell? And next time you should say "In no particular order".. Bcos the list lacks merit and composure.. INEC list
Bro! I understand u perfectly well! But it’s a review I might be wrong in my listing, that’s why the comment section is open for your ideas bro! @teedee_k I know u
Bro you are doing a good job but you need some serious music education to be able to differienciate between people playing electronic synthesizer/ keyboard and genres. You didn't tell us any of them who are really concert pianists playing the master pieces from Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Handel, Hyden, Chopin and even our African legends like Fela Sowande, Akin Euba, Ayo Bankole Snr/ Jnr works etc. so please remember you are showing this to the whole world don't let it looks like Nigeria has no stuff in the conventional world class pianists. Someone like Ayo Bankole Jnr who has given concerts across the globe is not in your list? Kola Ganikale an exponential pianist based in the UK, at the Muson center in Lagos and host of piano scholars at our Nigerian Universities where Music is taught. Music is so wide and vast please do your home work as to what you want to showcase properly and professionally. Concert pianists do a lot of studies and research moreover are genious, profound and dignified and not just jazz chord expression, hip-hop, gospel and fusion funk music or solo improvisation. Good efforts no prejudice.
It all depends on the genre you are classifying. There are crazy guys I'd worked with in Rivers State who have won numerous trophies in Paris,Germany and south Africa. Chinwe Luciano Ebenezar, moris wilfred, Michael princewill Edem etc. When a king travels, he will meet another king.
Pls how is moris doing,I miss dat guy abeg,pls remind me of dat his church again abeg....dis guy is actually rating based on achievement,who is smj where Maurice is,na WA o
That number 9 os wow 😮 Him amd D'Elect are the best. Others ain't doing magic. And this my comment is according to the videos you used in this complition.
You sabi wetin you Dey do. Yes, D Elect is it. And Wole Oni at number 2? GMJ, my boy? You have the right list, man. The 4 to 6 people I know on the list of 10, are just the right guys.
U might want to work on ur sound editing, ur voice and the performances have wide variation in volume and that can be improved on. I'm on bed without a headpjone/earpiece with my two children sleeping and I hope u can guess what I'm experiencing watching this video and not wanting to wake the boys up at 10.20 pm
Video is titled "10 most popular" in your speech you said "10 best by skills"... You need to go out and know people even some of the guys wey you mention sef go just dey laugh 😂😂😂😂😂 Even the jazz maestros are not here Just looool 😂
Top 10 i saw ooo but this video says top 10 popular Pianist Did u do ur analysis well asin check their their social media? i didnt even see Billionaire on the list ........ i no gree with this list baba do another one
In the context of culture, non of them are best pianists. They are all playing the American way not Nigerian. And most of those you categorize here are gospel musicians meaning your classification is biased to church not music as a whole
They are very good pianists (I acknowledge that fact). But they are far from the best. By the way, all of these pianists you showcased in the video mostly play the contemporary gospel style; (most of them are actually keyboardists by the way). There are much more prestigious genres such as classical and jazz music.
That's why we have it titled in Nigeria. And they are not far from the best POC! Go and hear them well. What are you talking oga. Even the likes of Cory Henry, Kevin Bond, Aaron Lindsey and so on can attest to the experience and skills of these guys. Especially the likes of D' Elect, Wale Oni, Mastercrafts and even SMJ.
Also, there are genres that they may not be into. Like Classical music and the Mozart. But when it comes to CCM and Jazz and afro beats and other conventional music genres popular to this side of the world. These guys have it all. Come on now.
He did for real. He told me about it, i can't go into details but he is a very extraordinarily humble guy. I love his style and I follow him plus I'm subscribed to him too.
Great job. I know all of these guys and this arrangement is quite valid and I think you’d do the audiences good to get videos that actually show how great these guys are. That D’elects video is great but isn’t even in his top 30 😅 performances
Oga where u keep simon keys,where u keep tayo keys in good tidings church abuja,i checked ur ratings,its actually bassed on achievements and productions
4:37 @@Samykeyzsorry I didn't min to disrespect u o or to be rude but I just feel u should say dat those r ur choice cos u nid to hear Maurice in ph,before dat guy u mention in is it Kings assembly in ph
D’Elect is my personal tutor. I am definitely sure this is my last teacher. Strict and honest. He would refuse to do the next topic if you owe him an assignment 😂. I was ever so slow like a tortoise but when D’Elect came to my life I was a changed man once. Mind you I don’t even advertise him among my friends so I can have his entire attention to me. It’s not selfish when you know what’s right for you. Heart of gold and no pride for no reason like some of my former teachers. He is straight. Love him🔥
Next time when doing such review please remove the background music when u are playing a video for review so we can hear properly...Secondly MasterCraft is supposed to be in the position of SMJ on this rating SMJ is currently better than MasterCraft.
OGA if u no get anything to post , go Fyn were sit down..... Who knows de best keyboardist or abi u dey wyn me ni, wetin dem de play, OGA , U don't understand,
