The Piano Guys

as a piano lovers, i have favorite pianist like solo pianist or a group. today, i write about one of my favorite musical group and that called "The Piano Guys"

ThePianoGuys are an American musical group consisting of Jon Schmidt, Steven Sharp Nelson, Tel Stewart, Paul Anderson and Al van der Beek. They became famous through YouTube, where they posted videos of renditions and mashups of popular songs accompanied by professional-looking video shot and edited by Paul Anderson and Tel Stewart. In December 2011, they released their first album. Their second album, The Piano Guys, reached number one on the Billboard New Age Albums chart in 2012.


Their History :

Paul Anderson owned a piano shop in St. George, Utah. He met musician Jon Schmidt as the latter walked in to ask if he could practice there for an upcoming concert. Months later, Paul Anderson and Tel Stewart (then just for fun) started making videos together of Jon Schmidt. It was not too long after that they did their first collaboration with Jon Schmidt, Steven Sharp Nelson, Joseph Sanns, and Al van der Beek as the studio and music technician. After the five of them started collaborating the group really started to take off, producing a music video each week and posting it to YouTube.
The team also includes Tel Stewart (videography and editing) and Al van der Beek (production and recording).

Success:
Several of the group's YouTube videos have over 12 million views, yet only one has over 25 million views (that of friend and non-piano guy Jarrod Radnich). As of 10 January 2013, The Piano Guys' YouTube channel has over 211 million total video views and over 1.2 million subscribers.
The most successful video ever on their channel was the video by Jarrod Radnich of his original arrangement "Pirates of the Caribbean" that he performs "virtually" each day to over 3,000 visitors to Disneyland's Dream Home of the Future exhibit. The Piano Guys elected to discontinue the listing of Radnich's videos on their channel, and Jarrod Radnich has created his own YouTube channel.This channel is one of the fastest growing channels on YouTube.
