5-year-old drummer has serious skills
A 5-year-old boy is wowing millions with his talent for drumming.
Justin "LJ" Wilson has played drums since he was 18 months old. The recent kindergarten graduate even makes his own music with dad on the piano, and mom on the mic.
"It started pretty early -- he had an uncanny sense of rhythm," dad Justin Wilson II of Los Angeles, California, told "Good Morning America."
Over 14 million have viewed LJ playing percussion live in a video widely shared on Twitter. He's even performed on television and at a Golden State Warriors game at TD Gardens in Boston.
"People love him because he always has a smile on his face," said WIlson, who is also father to 1-year-old Shia. "He clearly loves what he does."
LJ has his own album titled, "LJ's World" and has a new online project with his dad called, Drum Hub for Kids, where LJ will help other kids learn to play drums.
"In his 5-year-old way, he's teaching drum lessons and how to have fun," Wilson said. "I go over how to inspire young kids and the methods we use [as parents] to nurture [LJ's] gift."
When he's not drumming LJ enjoys drawing and reading books about animals, dinosaurs and space.
