Talented musicians strutting their stuff online

I’ve previously spotlighted several websites featuring talented musicians. They include Postmodern Jukebox, Eclectic Method, Tronicbox and CDZA.
What follows are a few more super-talented music artists promoting themselves on social media.

There I Ruined It

There I Ruined It does fun genre mashups of popular music on YouTube. The site’s description says, “I lovingly destroy your favorite songs.”
Examples include Coolio’s “Gangsta Paradise” redone as a traditional Bavarian oompah march for Oktoberfest and Beck’s “Loser” set to a traditional square dance song.

Good Future

Manchester musician Nathan Shepherd of Good Future Music performs popular songs in the style of other artists.
For instance, he performed Drake’s “Hotline Bling” in the style of David Byrne and Talking Heads. He did “Save Your Tears’ by the Weeknd in the style of David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance.” He also performed “Welcome to the Jungle” by Guns N’ Roses in the style of the Smiths.
He posts his videos on YouTube and TikTok.

Too Many Zooz

New York City brasshouse trio Too Many Zooz posts great music videos on YouTube. Check out their cover of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal.”

MiMo

Content creator MiMo posts “TikTok chain” musical collaborations that are quite entertaining. Two of my favorites started with viral videos of cats meowing that turned into complicated musical arrangements. They are the Num Num Cat TikTok Chain and the Luga Luga Cat TikTok Chain.

Sophie Lloyd

Sophie Lloyd is an amazing rock and metal guitarist. The U.K.-based musician posts a variety of content on her YouTube page including originals, shreds and covers. Her recent cover of the Guns N’ Roses classic “Welcome to the Jungle” is terrific. It doesn’t hurt that she’s drop-dead gorgeous.

Gamazda

Speaking of beautiful and talented musicians, check out Russian pianist Alexandra Kuznetsova, aka Gamazda. She does piano covers of hard rock and heavy metal songs. (See articles by Laughing Squid and Louder.)
