    Stan is from New Zealand. He has taken Kanye West and Chance the Rapper’s song and made it freaking timeless. This song brings tears to my eyes!!

    Stan is 100% self taught. He is however a very religious person. I am not sure how much time he spent singing in churches but he is Maori, and we tend to spend a lot of time singing on the marae and amongst all our cousins. Most maoris (like all pacific islanders) can sing to some extent and I think that stems from all the waiatas (songs) we learn as kids growing up. Mainly maori songs played on the guitar.

    Maori boy from Aotearoa New Zealand. Natural talent that chased his dream to be a successful artist in NZ. Stan is a humble character who comes from a family that battles cancer. He himself has a survival story battling cancer. He is a beautiful man with a phenomenal voice ❤

    This was originally written by Kanye West, then Stan rearranged and resung by Stan. Power house annointed. His musician and backup singer are on another level.

    The man Stan Walker! Aotearoa’s finest! Highly recommend checking out the Crowded House cover Stan and The Levites did at that same session! Kia Ora from Aotearoa New Zealand

    Stan not only takes you to church (Amazing Grace), he'll take you to the studio (Inside Out), concert stage (The Christchurch Symphony Orchestra - Don't Dream It's Over Live), the Club (The One You Want), Maori Culture (He Kakano Ahau), at home with the whanau (family/cousins aka How Great Thou Art) or just chillin like most Kiwi's (Take It Easy).

    Hey Mr Boyd you might a,so be interested to know Stan sings without a stomach after an operation due to stomach cancer. He is an amazing survivor who just lets the spirit flow through him when he sings. A blessing to us all ❤❤❤❤❤

    OMG I loved your reaction SO MUCH! Right?! I have been totally obsessed with this since I saw it about a year ago and we need to share so everybody sees this flawless performance. His version of Amazing Grace will make you cry. Wanna see something else special? Please check out our unofficial Aussie National Treasure John Farnham covering the Beatles' Help with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. You'll wonder how you survived without it. Subscribing in anticipation ❤

    Stan’s a national treasure in Aotearoa, NZ. But his personality makes you feel like he’s one of the cuzzys (cousins) he’s so humble, down to earth & funny! I attended a church service once where he was a special guest and he kindly asked everyone, please don’t take photos of me I’m happy to do that after church but for now we’re in the house of God so let’s keep our focus on him… like who does that? No one! He’s been one my most fav artists ever since ❤ And what you hear is exactly how he sounds in live performances too

    OMG I loved your reactions since yours to EZMilz but as a Hawaiian i’m so glad you finally made your way to some Polynesian artist! Stan is a LEGEND. If you like this you gotta listen to his Valentines Medley with Vince Harder and his Tennessey Whiskey cover and his How Great Thou Art cover they go CRAZY!

    Stan Walker is a Maori from Aotearoa New Zealand ...He is the best of our contemporary Maori Singers ..... Most Maori and other Polynesians are awesome singers and we are natural at harmonies, B.V.'s and Choir Choral singing ... After we were visited and welcomed Bob Marley back in 1979 ... Bob Left a huge imprint on our music and messages - kaupapa (issues) music and the legacy he left with us on our music spawned borning of original awesome reggae music with kaupapa messages genre , into Aotearoa - NZ, to the point when other original Reggae Leaders/bands visiting Aotearoa - NZ these days are all impressed by the songs of our reggae bands compositions, performance of those songs musically and especially our harmonic vocals we get these gifts through our culture and our ancestors with several polynesian and western - English languages. Hip Hop Rap is a current addition by our artists especially in all our languages ... !! Mean az!! Our Reo Māoori is currently booming throughout NZ as our culture was based upon Haka and Chanting .. an oral tradition. !! The B.V.'s that are impressive to us backing Stans Lead Vocal enhances the total harmonic, the Wairua - SOUL , the power and beauty of his cover version of Kanye West's Song UltralLight Beam!

    Loved your reaction too! I was blown away the first time I heard him too👍

  • @haze4451
    @haze4451 Před 10 měsíci +3

    Speaking as a Maori, in our Maori culture we have a deep love, respect and spiritual connection to God, our family and our land (again in a spiritual capacity first before physical). Song is very much embedded into our culture (like many) which tells stories, bonds family to each other and many other purposes. Rhythm and song like African Americans, is very much in us, not taught, is a natural part of our being. Of course some are more blessed and talented than others, like Stan Walker, the backup vocalists and musicians witnessed here, who are outstanding! Gospel beliefs are very much paralleled to our culture, hence the spiritual depth he/they manifest through their beautiful performances and selves. They are connecting naturally through accomplished singing etc, but it is more an intense positive feeling/emotion you experience before you can analyse the physical performance itself, that is gospel, spiritual experiences that connect with your soul that are truely uplifting through the medium of song and the blessed talent.

    You are right. Yes he did sing in the church. But go watch his Australian Idol audition. Hes born in New Zealand, but lived in Australia, and moved home to New Zealand. Go watch the audition, and you will know his talent is all him. Self taught.

    I joined your patron with the intention of requesting this. I'm rapt that you've reacted to it. There is no doubt it is special and very affecting ❤
    He's a fellow kiwi (New Zealander....not the fruit😊) Amazing Grace/I surrender should be next on your list. Gospel is only one side of his music. There is more...try "Bigger" for example. He has an amazing back story...from a difficult abusive childhood to stomach cancer and surrender to God...an absolutely talented inspiration ❤

Who won Australian Idol back a few years ago. Welcome to hearing just one of our home grown artists. Unfortunately the algorithms in CZcams you will not stumble across this on your own.
