Top 10 Popular Nigerian Pianists Updated 2024🔥🔥

[@shepherdboy6492]

I minimized listening to D'elect in order to have my sanity intact. That guy would get you confused and frustrated. 😳😳😳

[@Samykeyz]

D'elect

[@michaelfestus5338]

The moment I sight Chris Jones from benin in ur list .......I then know u must be a good musician.

[@Samykeyz]

Yes sir! Thank you 🙏

[@Jzh733]

I said to my gf yesterday that black people changed the courses ofmusic multiple times even when the possibilities seems exhausted..love and respect from China❤

[@Samykeyz]

Yesss

[@Jzh733]

Big thanks to the contribution these amazing musicians give to the world. ❤ From China.

[@Samykeyz]

Yea brother! You’re correct

[@fantaziaclothing7742]

When you put D'elect in number 1 i just knew you will go far and you understand music. With over 35 years playing experience i am qualified to rank them. Nobody is as good as D' elect . Its just that he is not gifted in teaching. Hi is a specimen

[@Samykeyz]

Kaiiiiiiiiii honestly!

[@GraceApppiah-fs8ui]

What about Ghana Kwame yeboah

[@leekraft4779]

D'Elect is the best pianist for this era

[@DeboliAdeyemi]

@@fantaziaclothing7742 l think he's rating is on Nigeria only not Africa for now ie no one would tear down the Internet o😄

[@emediongotton]

Aswear that guy is just çràzy. The way he plays simple songs is something else

[@shimri1st]

That number 9 os wow 😮 Him amd D'Elect are the best. Others ain't doing magic. And this my comment is according to the videos you used in this complition.

[@Samykeyz]

Alright! I appreciate 🙏

Then you should go and take time to watch their other works, especially SMJ, that guy just hosted his own music concert and it was out of this world

[@shepherdboy6492]

Learn to know when to hold yourself back from commenting. Control the urge to comment all the time. In the cases where you have minimal knowledge, only be a spectator. There's every tendency for you to make mistake in judging people you don't know. You even indicated that you don't know them, but yet you went ahead to judge.

[@elechijonah1024]

It all depends on the genre you are classifying. There are crazy guys I'd worked with in Rivers State who have won numerous trophies in Paris,Germany and south Africa. Chinwe Luciano Ebenezar, moris wilfred, Michael princewill Edem etc. When a king travels, he will meet another king.

[@Samykeyz]

Yea! I agree with you

Pls how is moris doing,I miss dat guy abeg,pls remind me of dat his church again abeg....dis guy is actually rating based on achievement,who is smj where Maurice is,na WA o

Well done Sammy... though Wole is my number one.... i think you have a thing there on D'Elect... D'Elect is good...

[@Samykeyz]

Yes Sir!

[@mpilines]

D’Elect is my personal tutor. I am definitely sure this is my last teacher. Strict and honest. He would refuse to do the next topic if you owe him an assignment 😂. I was ever so slow like a tortoise but when D’Elect came to my life I was a changed man once. Mind you I don’t even advertise him among my friends so I can have his entire attention to me. It’s not selfish when you know what’s right for you. Heart of gold and no pride for no reason like some of my former teachers. He is straight. Love him🔥

[@Samykeyz]

Wel said! That’s true

[@nsanwikevin2563]

I love Smj vibes

[@Samykeyz]

Exactly

[@nanachordson1982]

I ain’t surprise D’elect emerged at the #1 amongst the 10. That guy’s choice of Chord is something else. He plays exactly the way my ears and mind want to hear it and even more mind blowing stuff. Kudos @Samy Key

Nice Content Samy Keyz. i just wanted to correct that your title should have been "TOP 10 POPULAR GOSPEL PIANISTS IN NIGERIA". From your line ups, all you have brilliantly stated are only musicians from the gospel genre. Traditionally, based on the historical respect for piano itself, Classical Pianists should be the first consideration, followed by Jazz, then Gospel (which is actually a blend of Classical and Jazz Musical Idioms). we have fantastic Classical Pianists in Nigeria like Sir. Ayo Bankole Jr., Tosin Ajayi, Korede Omopeloye, Eze Victor, Kasiemobi Udemadu, Etc.. For Jazz, we have people like Ini Dminstrel, Simon Ekpe Keys, Timothy Digba Ogunbiyi, Timilehin Iyiola, Mr. Amos (Nathaniel Bassey's Pianist), Matonic, Black Keys Adedeji, Jerry Jazz, Lucky (TPH, Dome), Joshua Ukwu etc For a more elite audience, your list could be considered wrong based on the title as "TOP 10 POPULAR PIANISTS IN NIGERIA". most of these people i mentioned are global, some even have PHD in Piano from the top Music Schools in the world and have done Global projects with Fortune 500 and Multi National Companies. they are also popular. Popular is relative. Who is popular to you might not be popular to someone else even in Nigeria, based on interest. however, the title should be based on Gospel Pianist not "Pianist" cos these guys are only big on gospel music and mainstream. Piano is beyond these : we have Afro Cuban style, Jazz, Pop, Jazz (over 20 sub genres), Classical, Neo Soul, Fusion, Rock, and thousands of Piano Styles (some are authority in just one genre, due to the vastness of that genre so they identify with a genre). i hope i was able to correct that. nice content still. More Blessings my brother, One Love

[@DeboliAdeyemi]

Bro you are doing a good job but you need some serious music education to be able to differienciate between people playing electronic synthesizer/ keyboard and genres. You didn't tell us any of them who are really concert pianists playing the master pieces from Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Handel, Hyden, Chopin and even our African legends like Fela Sowande, Akin Euba, Ayo Bankole Snr/ Jnr works etc. so please remember you are showing this to the whole world don't let it looks like Nigeria has no stuff in the conventional world class pianists. Someone like Ayo Bankole Jnr who has given concerts across the globe is not in your list? Kola Ganikale an exponential pianist based in the UK, at the Muson center in Lagos and host of piano scholars at our Nigerian Universities where Music is taught. Music is so wide and vast please do your home work as to what you want to showcase properly and professionally. Concert pianists do a lot of studies and research moreover are genious, profound and dignified and not just jazz chord expression, hip-hop, gospel and fusion funk music or solo improvisation. Good efforts no prejudice.

Thank you so much for this eye opener! I appreciate 🙏

[@isaacessi9254]

Why is DBF not among the list

[@Samykeyz]

True! He’s supposed to be here

[@mark_hezekiah]

They are very good pianists (I acknowledge that fact). But they are far from the best. By the way, all of these pianists you showcased in the video mostly play the contemporary gospel style; (most of them are actually keyboardists by the way). There are much more prestigious genres such as classical and jazz music.

[@Samykeyz]

I agree with you! It’s just a review I can’t be 100percent accurate

[@ikediashiemmanuel.n7168]

That's why we have it titled in Nigeria. And they are not far from the best POC! Go and hear them well. What are you talking oga. Even the likes of Cory Henry, Kevin Bond, Aaron Lindsey and so on can attest to the experience and skills of these guys. Especially the likes of D' Elect, Wale Oni, Mastercrafts and even SMJ.

[@ikediashiemmanuel.n7168]

Also, there are genres that they may not be into. Like Classical music and the Mozart. But when it comes to CCM and Jazz and afro beats and other conventional music genres popular to this side of the world. These guys have it all. Come on now.
