    Insane talent. But for me the most important thing is that his parents have their priorities straight. They’re not looking at their kid as a cash cow. I can’t wait to see and hear the albums this kid will come up with! ❤️

    • @stephanie-fh5qv
      @stephanie-fh5qv Před měsícem

      Yes, it’s a big difference. Also, perfect pitch is only seen in kids growing up with parents playing and listening to music. There is a profound connection there.

  • @KTLBT
    @KTLBT Před měsícem +3

    for those who still believe natural talent isn't a real thing, and that it's all just hard work

    • @stephanie-fh5qv
      @stephanie-fh5qv Před měsícem +1

      If he hadn’t had a good teacher and parents that supported his interest, it would all have gone lost. Natural talent is nothing if it doesn’t get fostered.
      Hard work creates great musicians and give the tools to let natural talent be on display and let creativity grow.
      He will for sure become a great songwriter, because they give him all the tools to maximize his natural talent.
      If he would watch tv all day, he would be able to do the things he can either.

    • @KTLBT
      @KTLBT Před měsícem

      i fully agree. i'm just saying there has to be some natural talent in there. it doesn't happen by training and hard work alone. not everyone can do this if they just work at it hard enough. natural talent is a real thing, contrary to the opinion of many

    He's very fortunate that his parents were able to afford many instruments, computer software, etc. Many children have potential that never is cultivated for economic reasons.

    • @ST5S5

      There’s plenty of cheaper alternatives for any instrument that are very inexpensive and also plenty of free softwares. Lots of kids without money around the world have been able to access instruments to play on. His perfect pitch and innate musical sense wouldn’t be recreated by 99% of kids with the same access he has
