The Chainsmokers will storm their “Memories Do Not Open” tour in the United States with a talented and lucky fan to play music with them.
In an Instagram post on Tuesday, the New-York based DJ tandem reposted a piano rendition of their hit “Paris” by Tony Ann, a Canadian pianist and student at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts.
“Yo, how talented is this guy Tony Ann,” they captioned their post. “What an amazing cover of Paris! We found Tony online from an older cover he did of our music! It was so good we decided to bring him on our [Memories Do Not Open Tour] this spring!”
“Just shows you never know what’s gonna happen,” they concluded.
Because of his magical piano covers, Ann is revered as a social media prodigy with more than 9,000 subscribers on his YouTube page.
Dineson Cañeda, a Filipino pen drummer whose cover of “Don’t Let Me Down” went viral last year, also caught the attention of The Chainsmokers last month.
After a streak of record-breaking tracks, the pair, consisting of Alex Pall and Chris Martin, finally announced the release of their debut album this year. Gianna Francesca Catolico
