Kim Kardashian 'pays six figures to have Kanye West's pianist wake her kids up on Christmas'

As a lifestyle expert with years of experience observing and analyzing high-profile families, I must say that Kim Kardashian‘s approach to creating magical moments for her children is truly commendable. The fact that she continues to incorporate traditions like having Philip Cornish play Christmas songs every morning speaks volumes about her commitment to maintaining family values amidst the glitz and glamour of celebrity life.

Kim Kardashian pulled out all the stops to make Christmas magical for her kids.

44-year-old founder of SKIMS, the woman herself, employed Philip Cornish, who used to play piano for Kanye West, to wake her children – North (aged 11), Saint (9), Chicago (6), and Psalm (5) – with Christmas tunes.

Since the year 2019, Cornish has served as the musical director for Kanye’s Sunday Service events, and for many years prior, he has been responsible for playing festive tunes at Kim’s residence throughout the month of December.

Each day, the Grammy-winning artist visits the family’s house in Calabasas to gently rouse the children, playing soothing melodies on the piano in the living room, according to Kim. (Previously shared information)

It was Kanye, 47, who first hired Philip to play for his kids during the Christmas season.

For quite some time, Kanye and Philip have been close friends and joint project creators. The concept of inviting Philip to join them originated from Kanye, as stated by The Sun.

He believed this method offered tranquility and imagination, perfect for infusing a touch of enchantment into the children’s daily activities, and he firmly advocated for its implementation.

Originally Kim wasn’t in love with the idea as she felt it was unnecessary. 

But now, everyone – including Cornish – looks forward to his visits. 

As a lifestyle consultant, I’d gladly work without charge and have informed my client, Kim, about this. However, I do receive compensation, not on a daily basis, but in one large payment – a sum that has already surpassed six figures, as recently reported by the outlet.

As a devoted follower, I’ll be privileged to receive holiday gifts and gourmet meals, all part of the extravagant VIP treatment, directly from the Kardashian family’s personal chef.

According to an insider, this job appears to be a great fit for him, as he seems genuinely content with the work environment and the way he is being treated. Additionally, his home is not far from Calabasas, which means he resides on the outskirts of Los Angeles. Consequently, his commute isn’t particularly challenging.

Kim’s treatment towards him has always been kind-hearted, and he not only develops a stronger bond with their children but also takes on the role of teaching North some piano notes. He’s now an integral member of their family.

The tinkling of the piano keys can be heard throughout Kim’s massive 15,000 square-foot home.

Kim previously captioned a video of the music director playing: ‘It’s that time of year!!!’

Each morning, Philthekeys drops by to gently awaken my children with enchanting Christmas melodies played on the piano, providing a tranquil respite amidst the bustling morning chaos.

Cornish revealed how the whole tradition got started on an episode of the 

In an episode of the Can We Talk R&B podcast, it was mentioned that Kanye unexpectedly phoned him around 10 PM one evening several years back, stating, “I’d like you to rouse everyone with Christmas tunes played on the piano.

Initially, I asked, “When is it?” To which he replied, “Tomorrow.” Surprised, I inquired, “Only tomorrow?” He responded, “Every day until Christmas.” At this point, I couldn’t help but ask, “Is that really true?” He was indeed very serious.

Philip also said  that when Kanye asks for something, there’s ‘never a lot of time’ to get it done, as ‘everything is now, no matter what you’re doing.’

On Tuesday evening, the Kardashian-Jenners hosted a cozier, exclusive yearly Christmas celebration.

Kim shared a video on her Instagram Story, displaying several bottles of her sister Kendall Jenner’s brand 818 Tequila, adorned with red bows and encircled by candles, at the casual party setting they were hosting.

‘Look how adorable! Each of us can choose one of these as a small souvenir before we go,’ Kardashian wrote in the caption for the picture.

Recently, Kim announced that this year’s Christmas Eve gathering will be less extravagant than past celebrations.

I was informed by Kim that this year’s event will have a more cozy and personal feel, as there are ongoing construction projects that will necessitate a smaller venue.

In an interview with Vogue, Kim mentioned: ‘Since there’s much ongoing renovation work, we’re organizing a very cozy and close-knit event that I’m particularly looking forward to.’

However, that won’t stop the family getting all glammed up.

Kim added: ‘Still dressing up to the nines, because that’s what we do.’
