Uma das secções da Nord que mais gostei, parabéns.

[@relaminx_9629]

One thing that stands out in his play is that his melodies are “Memorable”

[@chizonwazuo]

exactly. not something you can say for most other musicians. This is somewhat common with guitar soloists but not pianists/keyboardists.

[@Djnexxy]

True

[@lovelymusicnow4404]

All is here is Black American Music Good job - we’re proud of you guys

Hillsplay is one of the very few Brilliant Nigerian Pianists and producers with a unique sound and style of playing. Btw, no one does the keyboard run like he does😊 Big ups Godwin Hillary ❤❤❤

[@musicmankeyz]

If you think "no one" does runs like him then your vocabulary of pianists or keyboardists are very limited...and this is in no way trying to put him down. He for sure is gifted

[@har_moniee]
