@@cooltrades7469 Agree, but it probably take another musician to know. I mean he’s good, but a lot of it is repetitive riffing and chord phrasing, and banging.
Sound PERSON is DOPE!!! Even though it’s probably a Man, it’ll really be FANTASTIC when Women are more involved with the technical parts of the music, film & sound industries!!!
Man, woman, whoever the same person is they did a phenomenal job as well making him sound good. Then again, it's the Apollo, of course the sound is going to be fire. It's the apollo.
I know alot of musicians has alot to say about this but, haven watched his videos... I just love this young man and pray that the Lord grows him, and cause him to find purpose...
Know your Gifts. God blesses us All. Our existence alone is a Gift. This gentleman is refreshing. No machines. No synthesizer. Just an Instrument. Raw talent.
One of my favorite songs this is the most beautiful song I have heard in my life and I've heard a lot of songs muah!!! EPIC energy Kofi! God makes no mistakes 🙏 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember when Stephen Colbert Announce this brother on his show I watched him every night couldn't figure out his direction. You are extraordinary piano performer. Brilliant is the word. God-bless you brother on your grammys. And may you win many more.

The intro, the build up, the resolve, the sync with the drum's symbols. Legendary!

This Brother has Mad Skills. He definitely made that keyboard talk. We need to get that CD out right away!!
The MC expressed exactly how I felt... that his piano playing sang the song
Bro killed it!!!!!!! Major skills love his confidence in what he does he zeal and excitement!!
Dude absolutely killed it, got up and walked away like a BOSS! I usually don't comment on YT videos but this was simply amazing!
Reminds me of Brain cumbersome
From the first notes he played, I knew he was gonna kill it. Dude is super talented. He better than Alicia Keys
Simply Beautiful and So Very Very Much Talent Until the Piano Was Absolutely Made for HIM!
@@misterlynch8411 NOT IN THE SAME CATEGORY AT ALL!! HE MAKES HER LOOK LIKE SHE’S PRACTICING!
I agree!!!!!!,but he knew what he did when he did it 😆
Music is in his spirit, this is not put on; he transforms when he begin to play.
I recognize it! My father was a musician and a master piano tuner. When they are in the spirit it’s indescribable. This was just that…Extraordinary!!!
