His piano playing is hypnotic. Voice reminds me of James Taylor sometimes. He deserves monster success.

[Mrkaz]

This is actually insane. Maybe the best musician in the country.

Rai's voice has such a crisp sound and a heartfelt clarity that rocks my ears and soul and that's before even mentioning the keys skills. Truly Outstanding. Proof Australian musicians don't get the recognition they deserve. WTF is wrong with the rest of the Are you not hearing this????Rai and Thirsty Merc are amazing by anyone's standards. Aussie rock is the on rocking guys...

[shredx]

Elite musicianship on display here. Take a bow Rai.

[chicagospots]

Rai plays the piano like the percussion instrument that it is. Outstanding!

[johnventura]

Rai is such an incredible talent. He deserves to much more widely recognized.

[nickcollins]

[danozdirect]

Possibly one of australia finest musicians of all time
Well hes in my top 5

[brucephoenix]

This dude can play!! Found him thru Knower🎶 just noticed he uses no pedal🎹

[TheListeningParty_TLP]

Kenny Loggins vibes in his voice ! Great playing and songwriting ✌🏽❤️

[sengle]

This is shockingly good. Got his name as he has the gig with the Eddie Van Halen tribute best of all worlds, the naturalness with which he plays is amazing.

[endeuinable]

Rai is an absolute top musician with incredible talent. He also seems to be a great guy. The audience here was quite cold but I know that every single one of them was quietly loving the groove throughout the whole song.

[kstoeb]

So great. Never heard of him. Now I will search him on YT :-)

[TheJakeMarl]

Clean, every part is just so clean. it's actually ridiculous how tight he is, brains in his fingers

[radomirkobryn-coletti]

holy crap, this guy is the BEST jazz pianist i have seen recently. Enough of this modern, overly weird stuff, a piece like that reminds me of Oscar Peterson with the thrilling complexity of Chick Corea.

[BenJogan]

Playing the piano in a percussive way... I don't think there would be a better depiction than this. That's rad!

[gustavotozzo]

whatever I hear coming out of your hands is next to insane!
What a gobsmacking talent... I will buy your records... no hesitation.
You had me at Skylark. Boundless capacity to produce genius time after time.
Rai? you have a bloody massive fan in Japan!
Outstanding! (and I believe I am being stingy with the compliments!)

[drums]

That progression especially those left hand chords from 2:27 to 2:47 simply outstanding.🙌🏽👏🏾🤛🏾👌🏾

[das]
