Avett Ray Maness, a six-year-old Ohio child prodigy, has been able to play the piano since the age of one. The youngster, on the other hand, was born almost blind.
“When he was able to get to the piano on his own, he played ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,'” Avette’s mother, Sarah Moore, explains. He was just 11 months old at the time.
Since then, the boy has started taking piano lessons, where he is learning new skills and classical melodies with the help of his teacher.
Moore adds, “The music is in him.” – He is rehearsing his performance. He has incredible talent. People ask him to play.”
Avett is about to participate in a charity benefit. He also talked with educators and employees at a nearby school. 900 persons attended the gathering.
A video of Avett pleading with his mother to deliver his music to Adele has gone viral. She was his favorite performer at the moment. This video was even broadcast on the news.
Avett was so taken with the Oscar-nominated picture “Bohemian Rhapsody” that he created his own cover version of the music.
This is the young pianist’s final video.
Avett Ray was also motivated by attempting to rap against his mother’s fiancé. Moore described his musical interests as “constantly shifting.”
What makes this individual unique? He was born with fibroplasia of the optic nerve. One of the boy’s eyes does not work, while the other sees extremely dimly.
“He has terrible vision.” Moore continues, “He walks with a cane and reads in Braille.”
The mother wants to show others how people with unique needs live their lives. Avett’s physical traits were revealed to his peers by her. Cotton Candy Clouds is the title of a book she authored about the topic.
“He is the main character in the novel. I wrote the book to let Avett see the clouds in the sky because he couldn’t see them. I educate individuals how to converse with the visually impaired and the blind.”
Avett Ray is a young man with an ancient spirit. This is what his mother claims. Why? Because God, although taking the boy’s sight, gifted him with tremendous musical skill.
