Who needs the radio or Spotify when you’ve got a performer right in your backseat to serenade you?
At least, if you’re friends with the 11-year-old prodigy in this video, that is. Is it just us, or has their been an uptick in the amount of backseat musical covers on the internet lately?
The kid in the video is Feng E, and he has been playing the ukulele since he was five years old.
Most adults who play the uke cannot even play the way he does! In the clip, Feng E does a cover of Sia’s hit song “Chandelier.” Filmed in the backseat of a moving car, this kid finger plucks his ukulele along with the recognizable melody. Without a doubt, he has some top-notch skills.
Though he does the original justice, his version also adds in new features and a different arrangement that isn’t quite like the original.
This particular arrangement is not just any random tablature posted on the internet. As it turns out, he arranged the whole piece himself. Without omitting the most important features of the song, he turned it into something new that is both recognizable and entirely fresh.
Can you keep up with his little fingers?
The transitions between his notes are so smooth and he already plays like a pro.
This kid’s passion for performing is definitely admirable.
Since this video was first posted in March 2019, it has amassed some three million views and 262,000 likes on YouTube.
Even so, this isn’t the only video of his online that has gotten him some traction. Because he posts so regularly online, his internet fame seems to only grow and grow. This kid continuously uploads good stuff on YouTube that stuns his viewers with talent every single time. Given the fact that he’s still just a kid, there’s virtually no limit to where he might go in the future.
And as it turns out, other celebrities and media outlets have already taken notice of his talent as well.
For many of us, childhood probably consisted of us playing and running around the fields with mud on our faces.
Feng E, on the other hand, has been building his skills since he was five years old… and they’re already paying off.
Though he’s only 11, he has already performed on Asia’s Got Talent and blew the judges away. Shortly after stepping out, he got a Golden Buzzer from judge David Foster!
This amazing kid rose from spot to spot until he ended as a finalist on America’s Got Talent as well.
After that, he was also invited on Ellen to show off his talent in front of her audience as well. Even though he’s still so young, this Taiwanese ukulele genius is already making some serious waves out there in the world! If you liked this video, be sure to check out his YouTube channel for more performances. After all, he’s already grown it to nearly half a million subscribers. For a different flavor of song, check out his cover of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit”:
No matter what song you put in front of him, he knocks it out of the park—and we’re guessing we’re going to be seeing a lot more of him in the future.
