Lovely artist

A master of keyboard-vocal performance who sings and plays. An artist drawing attention from band projects to solo work.

In rock bands, guitar-and-vocal or bass-and-vocal roles aren’t uncommon, but keyboard-and-vocal is less familiar, isn’t it?

In recent years, groups like King Gnu and Official HIGE DANDism come to mind, but beyond them, there might not be many examples, right?

In this article, we’ll introduce a wide range of artists—both bands and solo acts—who sing while playing keyboard or piano.

If you’re looking for songs you can perform as a keyboard-vocal, whether for solo renditions or cover bands, be sure to use this as a reference.

And of course, if you’re simply searching for wonderful keyboard-vocal artists, please have a look as well.
