Recently I have been listening to a ton of music from YouTube musicians. These guys have such a passion for their work, and they definitely deserve to have the limelight. So, without further ado, here are some of my favorite YouTube musicians.
Chase Holfelder
This man has some serious talent, let me tell you. He takes all your favorite songs and transposes them from major to minor key. This may not seem impressive, but watch one of his videos and then come back to me. I promise the emotion put into each cover will have you be changed in some way.
Sam Robson
In the style of popular YouTube acapella greats Peter Hollens and Nick Pitera, Sam Robson takes one-man acapella to another level. Whether you like smooth music, hymns, or awesome Disney covers, this channel is for you!
Triforcefilms
If you’re a fan of video games and 90s TV shows, definitely check out Triforcefilms! As with Sam Robson, all of the covers are awesome acapella renditions of music classics. He’ll have you jamming out in nostalgia in no time!
The Musical Ghost
Do you like video games and electro swing music? Who wouldn’t! Check out The Musical Ghost to hear amazing electro swing covers of video game themes from the most popular games. His hits range from Undertale to Overwatch and anything in between!
The8BitDrummer
Don’t necessarily want a cover but want your music revamped? Watch Jerod’s streams! He plays his own drum solos over music requests, which means the style of music he plays is always a mystery! The only constant is the welcoming fan base and Jerod’s killer drum skills. Check him out live on Twitch too!
Smooth McGroove
More awesome video game one-man acapella! (I don’t have an obsession or anything…) Smooth McGroove covers so many awesome themes that it’s hard to keep track. He’s definitely a favorite of mine to put on in the background while studying. I would totally recommend!
331Erock
Do you listen to your playlists, bored with how mellow it all is? Have no fear, for this channel is here to save you! 331Erock covers all types of music and transposes them into metal music. Get ready to headbang!
Brock Baker
Looking for someone a bit more mellow? Go to Brock Baker’s channel. (This one is a bit hard to search for since there is another channel under the same name.) He does gorgeous covers of alternative music, with some wonderful original songs too. Some of you with discerning eyes may recognize him since he was backup in the Warblers on Glee!
Dave Wave
Are all these vocals getting tiring? Relax with some beautiful piano covers. Dave Wave knows how to play the most wonderful covers (and originals!) around, without overcomplicating things. They’re wonderfully soothing and simple.
