On this channel I pride myself with the best piano covers and arrangements of pop culture on the entire internet, whether through artistic arranging, skilled technique or sound quality. If it's uploaded, it's one of the best!
A little about me, I started arranging hymns while serving a 2-year mission for my church years ago, and that's what started my love of arranging music. It translated into other genres I enjoy, and now I want to share them with the world. My dream one day would be to just focus on music rather than adding the necessity of working a 9-5.
*If you are interested in a sponsorship I'd be willing to leave a shoutout and link in the description. I am no longer doing video reviews since I am so limited on time.

I was supposed to release another video today, one I've been wanting to share with you all for awhile, but I ran into hours of technical difficulties with my digital audio workstation and editing software. So stay tuned for next week as I upload one of my most virtuosically challenging arrangements!
Last round of the Semifinals Round 3. Which of the following soundtracks would you like to see me cover the most? 🎹 (I included Banjo-Kazooie which is the runner-up from the other semifinal round to keep and balance the number of contestants on an even playing field).

I recorded a duet to release for this weekend, but I discovered the frames in the recordings didn't align to stack on each other during the editing phase! So I had to record it again today 🥲

I wasn't expecting Kirby to win the last poll! 👀 Kirby will move on to the next round. I've started working on Spooktober covers earlier than normal this year, so I may not be uploading as much during the summer but hopefully October will be jam-packed with weekly uploads!
Which of the following soundtracks would you want me to cover on piano the most? (note the random number generator went hard with the Mario games this round) 😆

Poll time! I instead thought I was going to be able to get my next Zelda vid out this weekend, but I ran out of time. I was able to record a good take however, so stay tuned for next week! Which of the following soundtracks would you like me to cover on piano?

My first video to hit 1,000,000 views! 🎉 What a journey it’s been on YouTube. Countless hours, many late nights, and it’s surreal to finally hit this milestone. Thank you all who have supported me these last 5 years, especially my Patreons. Here’s to hopefully many more 1M videos!

Time for Round 3! Which of the following game soundtracks would you prefer for me to cover on piano? These fun little polls help me understand my audience better, and I usually post these during weeks I don't have any video uploads prepared. I omit the Legend of Zelda because I know that franchise would automatically win and that wouldn't help serve the purpose of these polls. The games are selected with a Random Number Generator. Also I'm going to start looking into movie scores more, particularly Star Wars and Harry Potter!

After 2 weeks of watching a tight race I'm finally calling it: Super Mario World is our winner! The race was always so close! Super Mario World beat Hollow Knight by a number you could count on one hand. It's been that close all last week. I like the OSTs of both games, and I currently have some Super Mario World in the works!
So far our contest winners are:
1. Super Mario 64
2. Super Mario World
I've been slacking on the Super Mario 64 and I plan to do some more slacking in the meantime, but I'll get more up eventually! Thanks for voting and giving me an idea what non-Zelda OSTs you'd be interested in me arranging and uploading most!

I was planning on releasing my next Zelda upload today, but I still have more video editing to do so I'll save it for next week. Stay tuned :)
Alright, on now to the Finals of Round 2! I'm happy with both contestants considering I'm already working on covers from both of them. I'm super curious: which of the following soundtracks from these two finalists would you prefer me to cover on piano? 🎹 👀
