Artistry[edit]
He has described his piano style as "slightly playful", because of the enjoyment he has as he plays and listens to music, hoping to share the same with his audience. In 2014, he said because he covers many vocal songs, he tries to use his violin to bring out the same human feel and tones, listening to the song for a few days and playing by ear as he practices for the final recording. Rather than creating a "perfect" music, he finds it important to include his personal feelings and emotions to create a story with the music, that his audience identifies as his own.[26] He described his YouTube work as building a portfolio, with his passion for film portrayed in his piano playing, and with each video having a cinematic quality.
