Mozart was performing publicly at age 5. This kid has him beat by a couple of years:
Lyonya Shilovskya has been playing the drums ever since he can remember. The funny part is, since he’s only three years old, that time frame isn’t exactly the longest. Raised in Russia’s third most populous city, Novosibrisk, the young drummer first gained recognition on the Russian talent show “Minute of Fame,” which is similar to “America’s Got Talent”. Since then, he has become a bit of a sensation and his fame has skyrocketed.
Lyonya has occasionally taken the time to participate in various performances across Russia. On one such occasion, he was recorded playing “Orpheus in the Underworld” by Jacques Offenbach, better knows as “Can Can,” accompanied by an orchestra. His skill level is sure to amaze you.
