Relaxing piano music or more specifically, solo piano is where it all started for me. This is a song I wrote when I was 16. I was sitting in a music classroom in college (I was not a music student so I would go in there between classes and yes I started college at 15) and outside the window was the most beautiful fresh snow covered trees. I had been been in America (from Cameroon) at the time for just 1 year and I was really missing home. The snow in Pittsburgh (where I went to college) did not help either. As I sat there, I was not thinking I want to write a relaxing piano music piece, or solo piano or even new age music. Music labels did not matter because I was consumed by a burst of sudden burst of inspiration as I thought about the home I had left behind. At this point, the song essentially wrote itself and to me it was sort of magical because up until that point, I played only very basic beginner stuff on the piano. I had been playing for only 2 years so from what I remember, that was the first time I ever played like that.
Back then I was fascinated with instruments and being an arranger/producer. I barely knew how to play the piano so arranging for other instruments was a long shot. Eventually when I got a little keyboard with all the fake instrument sounds, I tried to force a drum beat into the song, but I couldn't because the song is too free flowing and really has no constant time signature. At the time, relaxing piano music or solo piano wasn't cool enough, not to mention new age music. Over time, I left the song alone and started to appreciate it more for it's emotional heartwarming qualities. the sound of the piano is so beautiful that solo piano was the only way. I know I have not changed the notes since I wrote it but I am sure I play it today with more feeling and musical maturity, at least I hope so, it has been 20 years.
I will be posting this and many other songs on my You Tube Channel so please share if you enjoyed watching the video and reading my story

Here is probably the first real song I ever wrote over 20 years ago when I was 16 like many of you watching this video :o) anyway if you like it, please please share because that's really the only way others will get to watch it. Thank you all very much
Will do! And thank you! Music is the international language and great people like you keep it that way ;)
Please see this. I recommend you to do the Count on Me song from Bruno Mars. Please! I am not forcing you but it would just be nice.

You play with a true passion and precision. It can be seen in your hands. Excellent.
I really think you deserve a lot more subscribers, you're absolutely incredible. This piece reminds me a lot of the composer Einaudi, but more complex. In my opinion, this is a masterpiece

Thank you Jaci and best wishes to you too
I love your original compositions! Make more, please?
😢😢😢😢😢so gooooddd
Good music, is an everyday item ever since man has made the advantages of our tech savvy world,
but great pieces, such as this, are in a class of their own, ... Greatness is usually inspired by the things/sounds/& sights of our ever changing lives, now is here, the past is gone, & the future is yet to be, ... The melody needs to be paired with the words, looking @ our pasts, so that we can be inspired for our tomorrow's, ...
Thanks for your kind words
You are amazing.You deserve more.

I first heard one of your songs this morning on SiriusXM, I believe on their "Spa" station...I wish I could remember the name of that song, but I am absolutely so glad that I am on this page, listening to "Missing Home." A beautiful composition, beautifully played...thank you so much! I have liked your Facebook page and will share your music any chance I get!
Thank you much. Currently working on releasing a an album of all original piano songs including the one you hears on Sirius (Probably "Finding Hope").
Yes, "Finding Hope" was the title and thank you for reminding me of it! Very beautiful and I cannot wait to hear your next album. In the meantime, I plan to catch up and get to know more of your work. Thank you again.
You have so much talent, i wish I could play and compose half as well as you do. Is there sheet music for this?
The time signature of this piece is all over the place so I have been putting off doing the sheet music but I will

Why in the world are there 4 dislikes?
***** True
I understand why you might say that but I don't think people see color in music. it either touches your heart or it doesn't. The heart is more powerful the the mind which is where racesm lives
I would love to put a poem with this
Go ahead, don't forget to share it with me
I won't forget I always give credit. Do you have an email address I can send it to when it is complete?
love u mate btw is your music copyrighted? or am i allowed to use it?
Yes it is copyrighted but you can use it under the creative commons license which requires that you post the origin of the music - Mbandi.com
Hey Mbandi - which college in Pittsburgh did you go to? I live there and will be graduating soon, and everything abouy your online online presence, the music (obviously) but also your interactions online and your personal story are all kind of inspiring. I'd just like to know, that's all. :)
Also - I've been playing Piano since I was 7, but still feel kind of feel like I'm not as experienced as I should be, and I've been thinking about learning to play other instruments Any tips or pointers would be pretty swell. Thanks Mbandi!
I started off at a community college in Pittsburgh (CCAC) then transferred to Indian Univ. of PA where I graduated from. Lucky you, you started playing at 7, I started at 14 but I guess it is never too late. Before deciding weather to learn new instruments, think of where you want to be in 10, 20 yrs etc and decide if you want to focus on mastering an instrument, composing, arranging or all of the above. Where do your passions lie, that's a good place to start. I always wanted to compose. I play bass and drums (barely..lol) now just to save maney, hiring musicians is not cheap...lol - Good luck
+Mbandi - Music Beyond Borders Thanks Mbandi!
I hear a little bit of Bowie's tune from the labyrinth
Really? I never heard of that song before. I have to look it up
Do you make concerts (real life, not videos) ?
(I'm from Austria.(this is not Australia))
yes but I havent done any in Austria yet
For a moment I thought I was listening to Mozart. :O
come on do I look that old? lol
keep up the amazing work :D
