Recently, this song found an unexpected performer who has captured the hearts of many.
A security guard has become a social media sensation over the past few days for his impressive piano rendition of this popular song. The video, posted by Umairah Bajrai on TikTok, showcases the guard playing the tune flawlessly at the Shah Alam public library.
Remarkably, he taught himself the song using YouTube tutorials.
Umairah shared a bit more about the guard’s background, revealing that he had recently finished school. His story of self-taught talent resonated with viewers, and the video quickly went viral.
The highlight of this viral moment came about a day later when JVKE, the artist behind the song, left a heartfelt comment on the video. He wrote, “So beautiful. Thank you for playing my song.” This acknowledgment from the artist himself added a special touch to the guard’s performance.
Netizens were quick to praise the guard’s talent. Many encouraged him to continue honing his skills. One user noted, “He already has the pitch right, just needs to work on the tempo. Good luck!”
Others were amazed by his ability to learn from YouTube. “He learnt from YouTube, and he’s this pro,” one commenter said. Another drew a parallel to the Malaysian novel "Konserto Terakhir," in which a character becomes a talented musician through sheer practice and passion, despite lacking formal training.
Being recognised by JVKE himself is an incredible achievement!
To the security guard: keep up the fantastic work with the piano! Your talent has inspired many, and who knows where your musical journey might take you next.
