that's not a child, that's a 60 year old jazz legend that squeezed himself into a small boy-sized costume. I'm an instant fan of this kid, he's incredible!
This is an old time, reincarnated 1930s jazz piano player who came back to punk everyone. Listen to him talk. His polite expressions and that LAUGH is the giveaway - he comes from another age! This is an old soul having a go of it! 😅😅😅🎹
I almost non jokingly got that feeling of woah this is wild made me think of stories ive seen of children having vivid memories of events and people that could be fact checked and things like that around the whole reincarnation thing. More likely than not he's just got some incredible mental gifts. Still the older I get the more I wonder about things less scientific.
@@thefiftyyearoldfourtwentyg7377agree. Prince started playing at 3 and mj was in diapers when he started showing musical ability. It's amazing. It's not just with music. Some people are just born to do certain things. Michael jordan is the only person in his family that is tall. He's 6'6 and everyone else is 6ft or under. He was born to play basketball.
Jon Batiste has followed Jude"Keyz" socials since Kelly Clarkson introduced him to the world on her show awhile ago! Jude was mentored by Kelly's musical director and Google concerts he's played with celebrities, like Cissy Houston RIP😢
What a gift for his parents. To struggle for so many years in and out of hospitals, not knowing what would become of your child. To find out that he not only will live, but will undoubtely live an extradorinary life.
I am pianist. The first time I heard him he blows my mind. Its a joke that a kid 3 o 4 years younger than now could feel jazz tensions like that. It is magic becouse the brain needs to grow for process that type of information. Its high level harmony. Sorry for my english. I am fron spain. He will be a legend for sure.
Not necessarily. He certainly has the ABILITY to be a legend. But although the stuff he is playing is virtuoso level it is nothing ground breaking. As it stands he is playing in the style of Oscar Peterson. Will he break new ground or will he just fall within a bracket? What passes for brilliance at 12 becomes pretty ordinary at 24. Not to mention a higher risk probability of being burnout at covering so much ground at such a young age.
Wow. He’s not only a great pianist but also exudes confidence, speaks with a maturity beyond his years, and possesses better interpersonal skills than most adults I know.
Big shout-out to those doctors and nurses. Because if this child didn't survive we will have lost such a great talent. And a big respect to his dad for always been there for him❤❤❤ much love.
@@rogerroger4816not necessarily, if you’ve ever met a player with perfect pitch? They don’t necessarily need to listen to crazy amounts, their understanding of sound is nearly otherworldly, he just got gifted his first proper piano about a year just over or so ago, I don’t even think his Dad is particularly musical, he was just figuring stuff out off the cuff

Your understanding of the human mind is fundamentally flawed. We dont create from nothing. Thats impossible. Just because you can't see the origin doesnt mean it doesnt exist. @@Sir_P
This has all the hallmarks of someone who has listened extensively to all the jazz greats. He didn't magically know the chords from the bass line, he just recognized what any remotely experienced pianist would recognize -- a standard blues progression. That doesn't diminish his ability or how impressive he is, but it's impossible to listen to him and not hear his influences.
His improvise playing is littered with 'expensive' chords and notes, that fit together perfectly... I just don't understand how he can do that at 12 with just 4 years playing. It is beyond incredible
its wild how when people dedicate themselves to something how good they can become in a relatively short amount of time. I wish more people found a passion and pursued it as relentlessly as this boy does.
@@jeremyrising Ehh, this is more of a supernatural gift, even practicing four hours a day for three years straight, and I couldn't even attempt to play a percent of that by ear alone without ever having heard the song before at that stage.
When he said nobody taught him how to play and he just sat at the keys… and you know! That made me so emotional. His talent is amazing and he’s such a great young man.
You guys don’t understand….the kind of experience you need to have to be this quick and sharp to even know what to play with this song is nothing compared to Jude’s years of experience…Man this is pure talent right here..he’s gifted ❤
It's not "experience." Many autistic prodigies are self taught or begin showing an extraordinary aptitude for learning as toddlers. No toddler has "experience." Many autistic people have an infinite ability for pattern recognition. This is why they're able to replicate sounds nearly 'perfectly' as well as other areas of study like math patterns, etc.
no, he worked at ut and practiced, its not aguift its just practice, hes been playing for 8 hours a day or more for 8 years now. c since he was 4. thats 28k hours of playing time. mosty oro musicians dont get that much time in ten years.
Notice when they do something cool. People point out exactly where the kid is from. But they say Black Americans 🇺🇸 are creating division because we claim we’re different from all other so called blacks 😂😂🤷🏾♂️
I've played keyboards for about 40 years (I'm 49). I'm a fairly advanced keyboardist... This kid is better than me at 12, having only played for 4 years. Beautiful, exceptional, outstanding talent!!!
That's incredible. I don't know how to play keys but I'm sure it's humbling seeing this 12yo absolutely kill it. It happens in my line of music too. I play the snare drum in a pipe band and the kids nowadays know everything and show us (27yo) old timers up. The future is bright.
Yeah I've been playing for years, practically every single day and just am nowhere near that level nor do I think I ever will be. He is gifted with something special.
This kid was born old, honestly he was fighting his age in that young body, he needed to adjust for those 8 years, he then remembered who he was and decided to continue where he left off...amazingly gifted.
Way to disregard the kid & replace him with your favourite mythological trope, real humanising. This is why cognitive development is such a neglected field of study, people are more willing to believe in reincarnation than have to learn about real, living people.
@@christofthedead Uh, no, he's more right than what you give him credit for, because in neurophysiology, the development it would take to build the muscle memory to play like that is at the very least, a decade's worth of knowledge. It is scientifically impossible to achieve that level of skill in just four years due to the way the brain works in collating information and building kinetic responses to it through muscle development.
I am a father to a 5 year old boy. He is the joy of my life. Seeing your father witness you thrive and enjoy life makes me feel so good. We fathers live for these moments. I am so proud of you.
The amount of self assurance this kid projects is off the charts. And it's not ego. He's really quite carfree, like he was YOUNGER than his 12 years, even while communicating like someone much, much older. Maybe this is what being a Bach or a Mozart looks like...
This is beyond incredible, He is a gift from the music God, and his mission is to make people happy and joy. He was struggled in the beginning because he is sent from somewhere else, and now he’s on his way to become one of the greatest in this world. I am very lucky to live and see this. ❤❤
I first saw this young man featured on, Steve Hartman, On The Road. His story is AMAZING! His dad had an old keyboard in his basement, one day he heard Jude playing the old keyboard. His dad was so shocked at how good he was, that he went out and purchased a newer keyboard. His story gets better, a neighbor heard him constantly playing, came to their house, and introduced himself. The neighbor, gifted the young man, a piano he had in his home, used his inheritance to fine tune the piano, and promised to keep the piano serviced, as long as he’s alive. Jude’s parents were so grateful. Jude is autistic, and is a little genius in the making.
I’ve taught music, I’ve told people there not any natural musical gifts just hard work and fun…. I’m wrong. I feel inadequate to a 12 year old. Yet love his laugh and joy in his music.
I think this charming, fun boy is a an old soul genius Jazz player, wow! After all his suffering from illness he's as bright as the sun living his best and special life. Thank you. ❤❤❤❤ xxx
He seems like a truly rare talent. Often people that have that kind of natural ability have other mental sacrifices but he is just feeling and loving every minute. Forget about his piano ability, his ability to enjoy the moment is even more impresssive, his personality seems to be the extra component that lifts his playing and his whole persona. I’d worry that being so talented he might feel the need to grow up quickly but I can imagine him as a 50yr old with that same joyous, childlike enjoyment…. basically I’m just trying to say he’s very cool and I’m glad he exists.
@@jacobpaint Jude is autistic, as well as having suffered from heart trouble in infancy. I suspect Noel may have been suggesting that Jude's talent does in fact come with other mental sacrifices.
@@tedpreston4155 autism is of course a spectrum and to say that someone is autistic is just a choice by doctors to define someone as further to one end of that spectrum to a degree that it causes them issues in their life. I know enough people who are autistic and it’s more of a difference in their thinking than a limitation. I don’t know if Jude is autistic or not and if he is I don’t know to what degree and in what ways so I can only take him as I find him. Autism can also unlock other benefits for some people, as far as I can see in this video any benefits of his personality seem to outweigh the negatives, autism or not… but maybe these videos are edited to show him in a positive light, I could only guess at such things so I will just take it at face value.

I hope Mr. Baptiste hears this. This kid is absolutely amazing. My son was also a premie (born at 24weeks) and had surgery. This youngman's story hits so close to home, and his laugh is infectious. Thank you for exposing us to him and his joy, @pianote
Imma ask God to protect this child. It's obvious he's been here before and given all the comments from ppl who say that they play piano or have worked with pianists before, this is *not an easy feat for someone his age*, this is really amazing! He shines brightly and a lot of the ppl in the comments do as well whether you all believe it or not. You have to keep that light safe because a beacon is seen by all, not just those with good intentions. Keep using your gift(s) ❤
What a sweet and special kid! I smiled the whole time he played, and at the end when he laughed, I laughed. (His laughter is contagious.) He is a miracle child, but I think he helped it along. ❤🥰
WOW WOW WOW... You are right Jude is a prodigy. AND a genius!!!! I loved his playing. He also seems like a fantastic person. Bless him and his Dad and Mom.
Jude was born for this. He was probably rehearsing before he was born His mother may not have been able to sit. What a big laugh he ushers out of his mouth. So joyful. Great piano player.
Pure unadulterated joy from thata young man is such a pleasure to see. God has blessed him 10 fold from what his early life was. Keep on making great music young man!
Before he even starts properly playing through - what a deep voice. At 12. This kid will grow up to be an awesome bass singer, if he starts singing along his playing we're sooooo in for a treat!
Myth of 10000 hours and "working hard" broken again. Natural born talent always wins, it simply shines through and haters that don't have it must supress it with all the myths of struggle and hard work and blah blah. We'll see more and more kids like this one in all areas of life, and they will shine bright to remind us all of our true power and beauty inside. Thank you Jude and I wish you all the best!
A gifted child!! God bless and protect him forever!!! 🔝🙏 there must be other ones like him in other arts that are not having appropriate opportunities.
Prodigy is definitely the most accurate description of this kid…. He’s touched by God health wise and talent wise. Much love and success to him! Love that dad has faded into the background and let lil man shine! His laugh…just puts a smile on my face😊
Not to diminish his skill by any means, just to put it into perspective: This is a third of his entire life. Children’s brains are playful spongues for knowledge, and they have so much more time than adults to spend on pursuits like this.
@@germansnowman the perspective is...he's only been playing for 4 years and is better than a massive amount of people who have been playing for longer. That's all that matters. Aaaaand...he's self taught primarily. Give credit where it's due
@@MegaShinobi2011it may seem almost condescending, but he is simply affirming that if youre already an adult, say youre 21 and have been playing for 4 years. you have 17 years to the 4 you were playing which is a lot more than 8 years to 4. But yeah, the comment could have at least still said the kid is amazing because he IS

He's pretty good. But not nearly as good as a professional. It's basic blues, and his playing is stilted and immature. But good for his age.

I hope Mr. Baptiste hears this. This kid is absolutely amazing. My son was also a premie (born at 24weeks) and had surgery. This youngman's story hits so close to home, and his laugh is infectious. Thank you for exposing us to him and his joy, @pianote
Human beings are the MOST EXTRAORDINARY LIFE FORMS EVER, and people like this young man PROVE IT!
Seems like a happy and well balanced child with a warm and supportive dad. And a piano habit :) May all children be so well supported!!!
That was beyond incredible! It is hard to top Jon Babtiste, I would love to hear them together. Thanks Jude Keyz!!
This boy exudes the same joyfulness that Jon Batiste does, along with the phenomenal talent!👏🏽🙏🏽♥️
God's glory is shown in many ways and Jude "Keyz" Kofie is one of those ways. Amazing!!! Keep playing sir.
I'm the biggest fan of this kid! His talent genuinely blows my mind...
The Joy in Jude reminds me so much of how Jon exudes pure joy.
This kid's a prodogy. 4 years already playing like this!? Im just baffled, hes going to become a great one
A skill learned in a previous life so treasured it found its way into a current life.
Exactly.
Man he is set. To know what you love this early and to actually be doing it for a living, at a professional, level at 12?? I'm so happy for him!!!
Heart warming and breaking; Around eight minutes of beatiful music, followed by one minute of sharing the love - thank you Jude.
Imma ask God to protect this child. It's obvious he's been here before and given all the comments from ppl who say that they play piano or have worked with pianists before, this is *not an easy feat for someone his age*, this is really amazing!
He shines brightly and a lot of the ppl in the comments do as well whether you all believe it or not. You have to keep that light safe because a beacon is seen by all, not just those with good intentions. Keep using your gift(s) ❤
Talk about reincarnation
What an incredible brain this child has. I wish him every success in his private and professional life.
Thats an old soul thats been around for awhile. This kid is phenomenal!
Holy cow. I was raised by two jazz musicians, my mom taught us how to sing from a young age, ive seen everyone play live, this guy is amazing.
What a sweet and special kid! I smiled the whole time he played, and at the end when he laughed, I laughed. (His laughter is contagious.) He is a miracle child, but I think he helped it along. ❤🥰
A TRUE prodigy! One of a kind with a true God given gift! Amazing and awesome playing!
WOW WOW WOW... You are right Jude is a prodigy. AND a genius!!!! I loved his playing. He also seems like a fantastic person. Bless him and his Dad and Mom.
Jude was born for this. He was probably rehearsing before he was born His mother may not have been able to sit. What a big laugh he ushers out of his mouth. So joyful. Great piano player.
i absolutely LOVE this kid 😭 I wish Jude nothing but success and joy!
❤❤❤
Wow, what a trip for that family. Looking forward to sticking around as long as possible to listen to this young man's future
My mind is blown! His improvisation is so genuine and fun. I'm wishing him a long career.
I'd love to hear Jon and Jude play together ❤
He's self-taught. When he said it was a miracle, I was touched . God Bless these people who have beautiful heart 🙏.
Music is his joy and he freely expresses it so effortlessly! Hope he always maintains his smile!
Pure unadulterated joy from thata young man is such a pleasure to see. God has blessed him 10 fold from what his early life was. Keep on making great music young man!
I would love to see Jon Batiste watch this young man play!
Before he even starts properly playing through - what a deep voice. At 12. This kid will grow up to be an awesome bass singer, if he starts singing along his playing we're sooooo in for a treat!
Myth of 10000 hours and "working hard" broken again.
Natural born talent always wins, it simply shines through and haters that don't have it must supress it with all the myths of struggle and hard work and blah blah.
We'll see more and more kids like this one in all areas of life, and they will shine bright to remind us all of our true power and beauty inside.
Thank you Jude and I wish you all the best!
A gifted child!! God bless and protect him forever!!! 🔝🙏 there must be other ones like him in other arts that are not having appropriate opportunities.
Prodigy is definitely the most accurate description of this kid…. He’s touched by God health wise and talent wise. Much love and success to him! Love that dad has faded into the background and let lil man shine! His laugh…just puts a smile on my face😊
This kid is incredible! I hope Batiste sees this and does a collab!
I love how children like this keep coming along.
I’ve been watching this kid for the last couple years! It shows pure talent and enthusiasm for being a true musician.🎉
From the first time he touched the keys, I was shooketh!!!!!😮😮😮 0:48
Am I happy now? Pretty much, yeah.
Thank you Jude. Thank you Pianote.
How can you not love this kid? He has a great character and his skills are just insane. I wish him all the best in the world!
I've perhaps never seen a Dad more proud than this one.
Having gone through what he and his wife went through for the first 8 years of his son's life, Jude is a constant reminder that God is real.
He has an infectious smile and laughter. And of course , talent!
He's only played for four years☠️☠️☠️Dudeeeeeee☠️☠️pretty amazing
Not to diminish his skill by any means, just to put it into perspective: This is a third of his entire life. Children’s brains are playful spongues for knowledge, and they have so much more time than adults to spend on pursuits like this.
🔥
@@germansnowman no
@@germansnowman the perspective is...he's only been playing for 4 years and is better than a massive amount of people who have been playing for longer. That's all that matters. Aaaaand...he's self taught primarily. Give credit where it's due
@@MegaShinobi2011it may seem almost condescending, but he is simply affirming that if youre already an adult, say youre 21 and have been playing for 4 years. you have 17 years to the 4 you were playing which is a lot more than 8 years to 4. But yeah, the comment could have at least still said the kid is amazing because he IS
So lucky to have him. Thank goodness for modern medicine Incredible young gentleman!🥰
Barely started the video and this kid just oozes cool. He will have an amazing career.
Nevermind career, he'll have an amazing life
When he starts to feel the music and move his whole body, he reminds me of Ray Charles!
I would LOVE to see him in the same room with Jon...what magic they would create!
