YouTube Artist To Pay Attention To: Mike Tompkins, A Capella Cover of Coldplay Paradise

There are so many videos this guy has that are amazing, it’s difficult to just pick one. I chose this one simply because I can’t imagine the amount of time and effort it took to piece together every single part in ‘Paradise’. All sounds are produced by Mike’s voice. Check it out.

YouTube Artist to Pay Attention to: Charlie Puth & Emily Luther; Adele Someone Like You

Of the current posts I have made in regards to YouTube artists to watch, this video has to be the most popular already… and probably the first one I should’ve posted. Just like many others, Adele’s ‘Someone Like You’ song is one of my favorite songs. So much so, it’s the only song I can play on the piano and sing through. The YouTube profile name is: CharliesVlogs, hope you enjoy.

YouTube Artist to Pay Attention to: JoJoBear123

There’s a lot of “next-door” talent out in the world and you just have to look for it and be able to recognize it. JoJoBear123 has several piano covers of songs that aren’t even written for piano. He also has a few originals. It doesn’t take 1 million+ views or a viral video to recognize talent. Have a listen to an original song…

YouTube Artist to Pay Attention to: Linsey Pollak

Linsey Pollak is one of the most unique artists I have ever come across on YouTube. He makes all his instruments from hand out of various things like household appliances, to vegetables, to bicycles to condom bagpipes. Everything is hooked up to an amplifier to produce very unique and upbeat music. Have a look at his garden hose electric clarinet and his household duster recorder… also, it helps to have good speakers but it’s not necessary. From what I hear, Linsey is about finished with book as to how to make your very own household instruments.

YouTube Artist to Pay Attention to: Lindsey Stirling; Lord of the Rings

YouTube channel “lindseystomp” is where you can find all of Lindsey Stirling’s work. She is a very eccentric and happy violinist/dancer who covers many popular songs from Lady Gaga to Lord of the Rings to LMFAO to Zelda. She has played in settings like basketball games in New York to candid beach performances to orchesis performances. She is worth a listen.

The unique part, this is an Africanized version, must watch.
