The piano keys begin to play and everyone looks up because they recognize the tune. 16 year old Raffi Arto plays the piano and sings to Elvis Presley's famous hit song "Can't Help Falling In Love". Raffi's voice is not the typical teen boys voice and flows softly throughout the theater. It's eerie how he summons the same power behind his performance that Elvis did back in the day.

As he starts really getting into hit, it's clear that he is the one to beat. I don't think anyone was expecting such an emotional performance from someone so young in age. I mean, this boy isn't even old enough to drive a car alone but carries on like an accomplished, star performer.

Raffi has always been into music. He lived his life around it. As a toddler, he always sang, and it didn't matter where he was at. He started playing the piano at the young age of only six. Most all of his memories are based around music.

This included playing music, practicing music, and just being creative musically. He always looked for things in the music field to keep him busy and couldn't seem to find enough.

He was recently interviewed and asked how much he practices on a daily basis. He laughed and told them that he doesn't keep count. He goes on to tell them that when he first started playing the piano, he usually spent two to three hours a day and that on this particular day, he had spent an hour.

He tells them that he is interested in other things too, like boxing and football. He admits that he put sports in second place to practice and participate in The Voice. He knows that it'll only be a short part of his life and he wants to make the most of this adventure.

He recalls when music used to be easy for him but now it's taken a little bit of a turn. Singing in front of so many people does make it a little more challenging. He goes on to explain how it's not easy to perform every week in front of millions of people, that's including those viewing on their televisions at home.

He even admits that he deals with quite a bit of stage fright before he walks onto the stage. Whatever is happening on the inside of this young man, certainly doesn't show on the outside. He plays it cool and holds the audience in his hands. You can't tell he is one bit nervous in this performance.

He performs this song flawlessly, from the highest of notes to his perfect vibrato. And, not only is his performance technically good, but he also knows how to get the audience into it. You can tell this guy knows exactly how to please a crowd. He's definitely a natural!

As the song ends, everyone in the crowd is standing to their feet, cheering and applauding. It's certain that his rendition "Can't Help Falling In Love" is one that everyone is falling in love with. Raffi is sure to make the big time if he keeps up these kinds of performances. Check out his video below.
