Recently I have been listening to a ton of music from YouTube musicians. These guys have such a passion for their work, and they definitely deserve to have the limelight. So, without further ado, here are some of my favorite YouTube musicians.

Chase Holfelder

This man has some serious talent, let me tell you. He takes all your favorite songs and transposes them from major to minor key. This may not seem impressive, but watch one of his videos and then come back to me. I promise the emotion put into each cover will have you be changed in some way.

Sam Robson

In the style of popular YouTube acapella greats Peter Hollens and Nick Pitera, Sam Robson takes one-man acapella to another level. Whether you like smooth music, hymns, or awesome Disney covers, this channel is for you!

Triforcefilms

If you’re a fan of video games and 90s TV shows, definitely check out Triforcefilms! As with Sam Robson, all of the covers are awesome acapella renditions of music classics. He’ll have you jamming out in nostalgia in no time!

The Musical Ghost

Do you like video games and electro swing music? Who wouldn’t! Check out The Musical Ghost to hear amazing electro swing covers of video game themes from the most popular games. His hits range from Undertale to Overwatch and anything in between!

The8BitDrummer

Don’t necessarily want a cover but want your music revamped? Watch Jerod’s streams! He plays his own drum solos over music requests, which means the style of music he plays is always a mystery! The only constant is the welcoming fan base and Jerod’s killer drum skills. Check him out live on Twitch too!

Smooth McGroove

More awesome video game one-man acapella! (I don’t have an obsession or anything…) Smooth McGroove covers so many awesome themes that it’s hard to keep track. He’s definitely a favorite of mine to put on in the background while studying. I would totally recommend!

331Erock

Do you listen to your playlists, bored with how mellow it all is? Have no fear, for this channel is here to save you! 331Erock covers all types of music and transposes them into metal music. Get ready to headbang!

Brock Baker

Looking for someone a bit more mellow? Go to Brock Baker’s channel. (This one is a bit hard to search for since there is another channel under the same name.) He does gorgeous covers of alternative music, with some wonderful original songs too. Some of you with discerning eyes may recognize him since he was backup in the Warblers on Glee!

Dave Wave

Are all these vocals getting tiring? Relax with some beautiful piano covers. Dave Wave knows how to play the most wonderful covers (and originals!) around, without overcomplicating things. They’re wonderfully soothing and simple.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
