The range of different producers and instrumentalists on TikTok is incredibly vast. Here are our 10 favorite instrumentalists on the platform.
TikTok is the perfect platform for producers. No app gives as much curated space for them to add visual elements to their process. Though the platform just made it possible for videos to go up to ten minutes in length, the short form (as it was originally intended for the algorithm) makes it so producers can present their craft as a compelling quick performance. The necessary zoom-in feel of the videos makes it so you’re able to get a more in-depth look at how sounds are made than even a live show.
Beyond fully-fledged composers, single instrumentalists also get to shine on the app. Guitarists, cellists, pianists, finger drummers, and more can utilize the duet feature to collaborate with as wide a range of other instrumentalists and vocalists as the app’s reach will allow. A space that initially seemed to cater to dance crazes and bts videos of literally anyone’s life or opinions has now become an avenue to expose true musical craftsmanship. The range of different producers and instrumentalists on TikTok is incredibly vast. That said, we’ve taken the time to highlight ten of the most compelling we’ve been able to find.
