Top 10 YouTube Musicians

Lindsey Stirling Violinist

An incredible person, the amount and magnitude of things she has done is absolutely awe-inspiring, even more so when you consider her relatively young age of 26. The music she makes and the way she delivers it show her audience how in love with her music she is.
As a person, her personality's worth is compounded to unimaginable levels. It is almost unreal to see the way she can improve the day of any passing stranger with her outgoing personality.
It's impossible to describe her and her music in just a single comment, but I encourage you to at least visit her channel and her website, particularly her early blogs, to truly get an idea of the kind of person she is. All this is written into her music and dance. Please check her out.

Christina Grimmie

Christina Victoria Grimmie (March 12, 1994 - June 10, 2016), known on YouTube as zeldaxlove64, was an American singer-songwriter. She rose to prominence by posting covers of popular songs and gained wider recognition as a finalist on season 6 of The Voice in 2014.... read more

Christina Grimmie passed on June 10th this year, and her death was a tragic one that affected many. She was a huge inspiration and touched the hearts of many. She was caring, treated her fans like her friends, and greeted everyone with a smile. She loved everyone and anyone.
She forever lives on in my heart, and I hope her voice will never be forgotten.

Christina Grimmie is so inspiring to me because of her amazing vocals. She has not only made Team Grimmie proud of her accomplishments but also made us feel accepted in this world.
I love her so much for that!

Pentatonix

Pentatonix is an American a cappella group from Arlington, Texas, consisting of vocalists Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi, Kirstin Maldonado, Kevin Olusola, and Matt Sallee. The group gained fame after winning the third season of NBC's The Sing-Off in 2011. They are known for their covers of popular songs... read more

Pentatonix is the best. Why are they NOT #1? Love them all, from Mitch to Scott to Avi to Kirstie to Kevin. They hold it all together, not just as musicians, but as friends too!
They sound amazing. Love them so much. They deserve to be way higher than 20. And I don't care if I get made fun of. I love Pentatonix.

Pentatonix is changing the way we listen to music. The bass and percussion are by far the best of any a cappella group ever, and the lead singers can more than just carry a tune.
Watch just one of their videos, and you will soon find yourself scouring the internet for every clip you can find.

Jackie Evancho

Jacqueline Marie "Jackie" Evancho is an American classical crossover singer who gained wide recognition at an early age. Since 2009, she has issued an EP and eight albums, including a platinum and gold album, and three Billboard 200 top 10 debuts. Evancho's latest album, The Debut, was her eighth consecutive... read more

Jackie was born on YouTube and only made it onto America's Got Talent because of it, having been rejected twice by their producers. The positive effect she had on the audience and the judges was immediate and grew with every appearance.
She finished second, but did she? She's releasing her third full studio album, "Awakening," on the Portrait Records label of Sony Masterworks in late September, which will be introduced in her third PBS Great Performances concert special late this summer.

The PBS concert was recorded on August 21st in the Open Air Theater at Longwood Gardens, Kennett Square, PA. It will be broadcast in December.
It is not to be missed!

Jared Dines

Jared Dines (born October 6, 1989) is an American musician and YouTuber from Seattle, Washington. He is best known for his videos focused on heavy metal music, including covers, parodies, and original compositions. As of 2025, his YouTube channel has nearly 3 million subscribers.... read more

Currently the most subscribed Heavy Metal YouTuber (or at least from what I've seen). Although his newest material is Deathcore (which I'm not a fan of), his comedy antics (usually based on music) and metal covers of popular songs make him likable.
In addition, he's also a pretty nice and honest guy in person, so that's a plus.

Rob Scallon

He can play anything with strings like a total pro!

ThePianoGuys

I listen to TPG every single day, and they never get old! They inspire me to practice my violin even more (even though I practice a lot anyway)!
The videos are absolutely stunning, and I dream of singing in one. I can sing very well in the soprano range!

They combine classical music and contemporary hot trends. On top of that, every video is shot amazingly with attention to intricate details.
A simple delight to watch. Cheers from Canada!

Those guys are amazingly creative and a blast to listen to. Their ability to weave themes from classical music into their covers of popular songs adds more depth to music.

Ten Second Songs

Anthony Vincent is a YouTuber best known for his Ten Second Songs videos, where he covers a song in various vocal styles. His videos frequently receive millions of views. He has also collaborated with other musicians and voice artists.

KurtHugoSchneider

Kurt Hugo Schneider (born September 7, 1988) is an American musician, singer, and producer best known for his YouTube music videos and collaborations with other artists. He gained popularity through his work with Sam Tsui and has produced numerous viral covers and original songs. Schneider is known for... read more

Amazing musician hosting other musicians with great skills and nice quality videos. His songs are covers of famous songs, recorded with really nice audio equipment. The videos are also professional and a lot of fun.

Why the hell is Kurt so far down on the list? He is one of the best musicians I have seen on YouTube. His music has the power to raise goosebumps, and the collaborations he does with other talented YouTube artists are amazing.
To top it all, he is an incredible singer himself! Talk about being multitalented!

Kina Grannis

She's plain perfect. She should be in the top ten! She's so amazing and talented, and her voice has so much quality. She makes the most creative music videos, like "In Your Arms."

Beautiful music and lyrics all the time.

The Living Tombstone

Yoav has come a long way throughout his YouTube career.
He now makes extremely high-quality music with tons of talented artists!

Way talented, with over 1 million subscribers. He deserves more attention than he gets.

Why is he ranked so low? Help me push this up!

NateWantsToBattle

His songs and covers offer a certain charisma that leaves the listener wanting more! Truly great work!

Nate is my favorite musician. He has an amazing voice, and he is incredible at playing music.

His rock songs are totally awesome, especially the Five Nights at Freddy's songs.

Sungha Jung

Andrew Huang

I don't even have the words to explain the level this guy is on. He is a music-making machine who bounces from genre to genre with incredible ease. He puts out content twice a week and always manages to make me either laugh, cry, think critically, or all of the above.
He deserves way more subscribers!

He should be #1. Have you seen his videos?

Stevie T

I just love his videos. They bring me so much joy. Plus, he's one of the most technical guitarists.

Great singer. I love all his covers and everything he creates. I'm very excited about the next album that is going to be released. The names of the songs sound awesome. Can't wait to hear them all.
Love you, Sam!

Awesome music. The last time I heard his song was at a wrestling show in my town, and I just had to have it. From that time, I searched Google for End of the Road and finally found out it was his song.
I am amazed at how beautifully it is created.

Thank you for posting. I like this man's song "Winter Days." He's awesome. I just love the music he makes.
I think everyone should listen to him.

Amazing guitar player who can make anything sound good when it's metal.
