Meet Walk Off The Earth, The Band That Performs In The Most Unorthodox Settings Ever
The band Walk Off The Earth, hailing from Canada, has gained widespread acclaim for their innovative music videos that are truly out of this world (no pun intended). Among their memorable renditions is a refreshing take on Tina Turner’s iconic hit “What’s Love Got To Do With It,” which they infused with a reggae twist, complemented by an intriguing music video with some notably distinctive trousers!
Just look at how visibly passionate and interactive they are while performing. You can hardly find such an enthusiastic musical display elsewhere!
Established in 2006, Walk Off The Earth specializes in both covers and original compositions, leveraging social media to share their musical journeys. As of now, they’ve amassed over 6,68 million followers on YouTube, a testament to their appeal and creativity.
Comprising Gianni “Luminati” Nicassio, Joel Cassady, Sarah Blackwood, Adam Michael, and David “Tokyo” Speirs, along with past members Pete Kirkwood, Mike “Beard Guy” Taylor, and Ryan Marshall, each contributes to the band’s unique sound and success.

Their YouTube channel boasts a variety of hits, but their version of Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know” truly stands out. This video, showing all five members playing a single guitar to create a rich, harmonic masterpiece, highlights their musical synergy and a touch of humor has captured the hearts of millions of viewers. Their total watch time on YouTube has amassed over 189 million views, an incredible number for an indie band.
One of their out-of-the-box performances took flight with WestJet’s 12 Flights of Christmas, where their rendition of “Deck The Halls” got passengers grooving at high altitudes. This festive spectacle showcases just how they can turn any setting into a vibrant concert venue, one of the group’s highlighted trademarks that fans love.
Originating from Burlington, Ontario, the band’s repertoire spans across pop genres, featuring an array of instruments from ukuleles to theremins, all showcased through their dynamic and viral videos. The band owes much of its polished sound and visual appeal to Gianni “Luminati” Nicassio, the multi-talented member responsible for recording and producing their music and videos.
Their talent caught the eye of the Ellen Show in the USA, leading to a mesmerizing performance that left the audience in awe, further solidifying their partnership with Columbia Records in 2012.
