Unfortunately we live in a world where people don't want to see others go far. So they hate and pass negative vibes unto others and hope to put them down. This boy is 11 playing an instrument beautifully and expressing his what's within his soul. Then there goes someone disliking what he does. Search another song and send your negative vibes else where. God bless this boy and bless him richly

bon chana Well, that came out of left field. Asians certainly do not have a corner on mastery of instruments. If you call "mastery" technical proficiency, yes, a lot of Asian kids are tiger parented to a high level of a certain sterile technical proficiency. But they're not musicians. No reason an Asian kid can't be a great musician, of course, but the diligent drill of mechanics doesn't make you one.

Sorry, David. There is no such thing as "Naturals" or "born to play music(ians)." That kid is good because he had a great family that supported him. He's good because he put in hours of practice.

Jon Visser I never said that he didn't put a lot of time and effort in, he most definitely has!But I disagree with you. To be that good at that young of an age, you have to have some natural ability to play music! You can't just pick an instrument up and expect to be that good! It doesn't matter how many hours you poor into it, some people just have it, and the majority of musicians don't. That's what separates the virtuoso's from the mediocre.

David You can't pick up ANY instrument and hit it right away. BUT you CAN work at it. I do some keys, voice and drums. I'm told drums is my most natural instrument by a guy playing drums 50 years. But I've STILL had to play 10 years, tho! Didn't just wake up and be halfway decent, lol. I'm not bad at keyboards. They're still percussive instruments to my mind, tho. And I like whacking on things.

Man all you nay sayers are full of crap. He is 11 yo, of course he is going to incorporate licks of his idols and influences into his current plying. He is still learning; not how to play the bass because he can do that, but how to learn to be him. That takes years. Including the styles of his idols and then figuring out what he likes and what he feels, intertwining that with what he has learnt will help him develop his own signature. So shut the hell up, enjoy the music and celebrate that an 11yo can play so good with passion and feel, and then follow his career and watch him become the Tony Royster Jnr of the bass.

You know….the kid is obviously brilliant but the other members of the band are pretty darn good especially the dude on keys. All of cats are really talented!

Wow ! That kind of finesse and scat to boot ! Bravo !!! Great band. Super tight towards the end ! Loved it...

My son is interested in playing the bass, so he asked me to check this out. I played the bass for a while and had some fun. Never to this 11 year old's level. Like other comments it is hard to describe this kid's level and what he'll be some day. He may never make it big due to the politics in everything, but he'll enjoys coming home from a hard day, and playing his bass. To take the world off his shoulders for a moment. God Bless him. I'd buy his CD right now.
