Gijs van Winkelhof - YouTube Spotlight - 06/25/2010
Gijs (Guys) van Winkelhof is one of my favorite YouTube pianists. He is from The Netherlands and graduated from Utrecht School of the Arts in 2007. He has written scores of music for musicals, television shows, and even wrote a score for a Dutch film. He owns his own production company.
I love the passion he places into the songs; it's as if he taps into the way the composer wanted the music to be played. His original compositions are very well done and I have posted one below. Add your feedback in the comments below!! You know you want to!
