If you’re like most people, you have fond memories of learning a hobby or craft. Playing a musical instrument is one such pursuit that ranks high in personal satisfaction. The following 11-year-old boy’s ukulele playing is already just as satisfying to listeners as it is to himself.

Feng E, the talented instrumentalist who has taken YouTube by storm, first played the ukulele in early childhood. According to Kottke.org, at five years of age, he first began learning the chords and strums that have made him a sensation. Although he initially approached the ukulele as many children do, his playing soon bore the fruit of relentless practice.

Throughout his rendition of "Chandelier," Feng’s fingers fly over the fingerboard as if he were a professional player even though he’s a child playing from the backseat of his parent’s car. Novel techniques such as striking the strings for a more percussive sound blend with full harmonies to create a symphony. Who knew such a little instrument could wield such powerful sounds and such a young player could compose such stunning arrangements?

The YouTube community is not the only group to benefit from Feng E’s talents. Although he’s only 11 years old, he’s already won the coveted Golden Buzzer on "Asia's Got Talent." This rising star has also appeared on "America's Got Talent" and "The Ellen Show," reports A Plus.
