Five year old Miles Bonham plays lead guitar, rhythm guitar (electric and acoustic), drums, electric piano (Fender Rhodes), bass, 3 retro synthesizers, hand claps, slide guitar – and he sings lead vocals, and 4-parts of harmony vocals.

This kid is unbelievable. Miles is pure talent and we can only guess what he’ll be like in fifteen years time.

Follow him on Instagram @milesmusickid and prepare to have your mind blown. He plays the classics too!

Check out his guitar skills here. Is the riff familiar?

I don’t even remember what I was doing at that age. Probably crashing my bike and trying to eat dirt.

Miles is on another level. No way could this kid have attended lessons. Learning to play all those instruments is difficult and takes years to master. Miles probably took two years at most.

To show the world that he’s the real deal, Miles decided to record that Beatles classic, “Come Together”. He played all the instruments naturally, and then sings the entire hit.

He’s not bad!

This is a five year old kid singing and performing a song from 1969 from arguably the biggest, coolest, selling band of all time.

Somebody please show this to Paul and Ringo. It would make them happy to know that even after all these years, a kid Miles’ age still appreciates their work.

Those instruments are too big for the kid but he still goes ahead and jams his heart out. This kid’s got that look on his face most artists know all too well. He means business!

Show Miles some love and hit like on his posts!

To prove how versatile and diverse Miles is, here’s another cover of another famous artist. Miles does James Taylor’s “Fire and Rain“, playing an acoustic guitar as he sings the infamous lyrics. Just like James!

The best part is that the man himself, James Taylor, loved it!

Now that’s high praise coming from a legend. Most aspiring musicians would only dream of having a famous musician comment on their post. Miles really did do James’ song justice!

Miles can sing them all. From The Beatles, to James Taylor, and even Bob Dylan.

The 1973 classic “Knockin’ on heaven’s door” has covers from Guns n Roses, Eric Clapton and many others. Add Miles Bonham to that list. This little guy keeps proving to everyone that he’s got what it takes to cover classics.

He even puts all his emotions behind his singing!

Not sure if he’s going for that Bob Dylan look though.

Are you impressed yet? What were you up to when you were four or five years old?

Miles has lots of content you might want to check out. He’s also got covers of Justin Bieber, Billie Eilish, and other younger musicians. The reason this kid plays is out of curiosity it seems.

Let’s all hope that Miles takes it to the next level when he’s older. He is a young star that’s only going to shine brighter in the future!
