Music is constantly evolving, but we should never forget the artists who came first.
To keep all the classic and vintage songs from dying, some talented people online still perform cover versions of them. There are classic songs that became popular in today’s generation only because people online covered them and showed them to a new audience.
This young man became quite popular on the internet with his renditions of the classics.
Adikara Fardy is considered a teenage jazz virtuoso because of his music, which mainly incorporates elements from jazz and R&B.
With his talent for reshaping jazz music into something that’s all his own, the people who know him often compare him to Michael Bublé, who is also well versed in the genre.
He started posting clips of himself online in 2016 doing song covers on Instagram and YouTube.
Still, before Adikara emerged into the online world, his passion for music still went all the way back to his childhood. Michael Bublé inspired him and singer-songwriter Melly Goeslaw also urged him to pursue jazz music. Eventually, he boosted his popularity by bringing his music to bigger stages.
In this clip, he does a great rendition to Bill Withers’ “Just the Two of Us.”
Adikara’s cover of Withers’ song became quite popular on YouTube.
He recorded his performance beforehand at High Ground Studios, though his music video was filmed in the alleys of Groningen, Netherlands.
He wrapped himself with his electric guitar and sat beside an amplifier and a bicycle.
He played his music on that peaceful corner. He sang with his fluid yet powerful voice that would tug anyone’s heartstrings. His gently plucked his guitar, giving it a soft tone perfect for his jazzy, simple vibe.
