Some of his biggest videos include his interpretations of Michael Jackson’s ‘Bad’, ‘Despacito’, and Elton John’s ‘Rocketman’ from Bence’s most recent album ‘Pianosphere’ released in 2023, which also contains Bence’s own notable and stunning compositions.

Though it’s not just a huge online following he’s acquired through this success, but a huge fanbase who attend his incredible live performances. Much more than a one-man-show, it is an arena-spectacular with a full light production, as well as Bence’s signature style which takes the piano to a whole new level, turning the instrument into a full orchestra.
