Drummers, Prodigies

Jaxon Smith

Leave a comment

Jaxon Smith is a self taught, prodigy, Canadian Drummer. He was born on May of 2005, 3 and a half months pre-maturely but that is not why he is considered a prodigy. Jaxon is a prodigy because by the age of six and without any family musical history and without receiving any drumming lessons, he was brilliant enough to listen to songs, capture the beat in his mind and then play it afterwards, with any spoon, chopstick or drum-stick he could lay his hands on.

Note: This page is about Anna Christine, the 12 years old prodigy singer from Henderson Nevada and not about Anna Christine Speckhart, the 24 years old Model from Illinois, USA.

Anna Christine

Anna Christine has been singing since the age of five. Her first live performance was on June 4th of 2013 while auditioning for the 8th season of America Got Talent. She sang “House of the Rising Sun” and demonstrated the beauty, depth and soul of her voice. At the time Anna was only 10 years old and no one could believe that a 10 years old could have such a mature and beautiful voice.

The first video I saw for Krisia is her cover song for “Simply the best” for Tina Turner. It is just amazing how well she has performed the song. I simply can’t believe that a 9 years old could sing this well. Even after watching all her videos, this video is still by far her best in my opinion.

Kirsia Todarova is a Bulgarian child prodigy. She was born in Varna on 1 June 2004.

Who is Malachi Samedy?

Malachi Samedy is an American musical prodigy of Haitian Descent. He learned how to play drums at an incredibly young age. His parents had noticed his musical interest early on and bought him his first drum-set while he was still 18 months old.

Prodigies, are they Reincarnated geniuses?

Prodigies! Wunderkinds! who are they?

Our dear old Wikipedia defines a prodigy as:

A child prodigy or Wunderkind is a person who, at an early age, develops one or more skills at a level far beyond the norm for their age

This boring definition isn’t really what intrigues me. Scientific definitions are very informative but far from being interesting. On the other hand, conventional and traditional stories about prodigies and how they come to be are far more interesting. Continue reading Prodigies, are they Reincarnated geniuses? →

Kelvin Doe – Dj Focus

Do you think your life is tough?

 

Name: Kelvin Doe

Nick Name: Dj Focus

Age: 18 and half years, born on October 26, 1996

Location: Freetown, Sierra Leone

Occupation: Inventor

Kelvin Doe was born in October 26, 1996 and he was raised by his mother alone… but let us go back a while. Before Kelvin was born, his mom, Ajua Daniel, traveled with her husband and four children to Liberia to work . However, the Liberian war broke out and all of them had to escape. Ajua and her children made it back to Siera Leane but her husband didn’t make it. Ajua, then met Kelvin’s dad and lived with him until she got pregnant. Kelvin’s dad asked her for abortion and once she refused, he abandoned her.

So again, Kelvin was raised by a his mom along with his 4 other siblings in one of the poorest countries in the world, Seirra Leone. I don’t know if you think your life is tough, but I think we can safely agree that Kelvin’s life as an infant and a teenager wasn’t easy at all.

So Who is Kelvin Doe? Continue reading Kelvin Doe – Dj Focus →
