- In 2007, when a 2-year-old boy from Chennai played a perfect drumbeat on his bedroom floor, it became obvious that young Lydian Nadhaswaram was destined for greatness. It began with him accompanying his father and sister on stage for gigs and watching his sister practice the piano at home. It was then that Lydian developed a fascination with the instrument. He would practice alongside his sister, playing Beethoven and Chopin without any sheet music, relying upon on-ear and intuition only.
This now 14-year old has skill unlike any other and is proficient in a variety of instruments, amongst which piano, drums, sitar, and bass guitar are notable. With just 6 years of practice, Lydian’s fingers fly over piano keys effortlessly, playing classical melodies at breathtaking speeds.
He has since participated in a variety of national-level competitions, before participating in, and subsequently winning CBS’s World’s Best in 2019, playing two pianos simultaneously for his winning finale. He is now a student at KM Music Conservatory, an institution by the A.R Rahman Foundation, and receives international level training in both Western as well as Indian classical.
With appearances on popular American television shows such as Ellen and Good Morning America, paired with unparalleled determination, persistence, and a hunger for learning this young prodigy is well on his way to success.

THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR KIND WORDS AND PURE LOVE ...WE AS FAMILY SO GRATEFUL TO EVERYONE HONESTLY 🙏 ❤ 🎼😇
You are just amazing Lydian. It is so easy call you a prodigy and discount all the hard work. God Bless you. Lot of the drive comes from the original inspiration and passion. Hats -off to your Parents and Gurus. God bless you Lydian and Amirthavarshini.
Nice da Lydian.
Your welcome
Talent only word define you
Your moonlight sonta Drums Solo Performance in World talent , i converted that as a Ringtone on my iPhone 📱, Very few of the musicians only can convert the feelings into audience, That’s your very Big Plus, pls keep it that feelings always in your music 🎼.
Lydian's message:
Be passionate and dedicated
Be honest and work hard
Be yourself
Be healthy with healthy food habits
Always be a learner
Lydian's public speaking has become so good. I saw him on World's Best a couple of years ago and have been following his TH-cam for a while now. Multi-instrumentalist and is now also singing - so impressive for someone of his age. I especially love his mastery of soundtracks.
The fact is he was home schooled proves education can be thought without schools that charge huge money
I don't want to offend him but does anyone else feel he's lacking the feel, like the vibe of the piece?
I'm not saying he's playing bad, if you check my channel, you'll say "dude you can't even play fast like him" but I think in the faster tempos and interesting double symphonies, he misses to convey the feel of the song.
Edit : I also mean that he should be famous for the correct things. He has great control over rhythm, dynamics and techniques. He's getting famous for..... Being fast, that isn't correct. He deserves more recognition than just knowing polyrhytms or faster tempos
His intention was to show how fast he can play it
yes. Fast fingers but no emotion or musicality. This piece isn't that hard. I would prefer to hear it slower but with musicality.
Yes I agree.
uhhhh. There is no CORRECT thing to be famous for. What makes you think some aspects of music are correct, and some aren't. If people like the speed, let them like it.
His story is completely different. His father is a musician and decided to teach him piano. So he didn't send him even school all he did was teaching music..
No wonder he was named Lydian...
Lol
True fact
What does Lydian mean?

Lydian you're the young Beethoven of India. As sir A. R. Rahman is the Mozart of India you are the Beethovan of India. It is the same story when Beethoven met Mozart and Mozart was amazed of his piano performance. Same as Rahman sir and whole world is amazed of you Lydian you bring new stories.

Extraordinary talented musician 😀👌👍
Hi Lydian ......I m fan of u ....And I m from andhra pradesh .........Love u my bro
His speaking skills is far better than many public speakers
Why would someone play a piece faster than its meant to be played? Where is the emotion in his playing?
I’ve been seeing that nord stage 3 everywhere.
The first piece he played on the piano was Rondo Alla Turka, and this is why he’s a prodigy!
God gifted person
Impresionante 👏👏👏👏
Barroz Music Director ❤️❤️❤️
Super Talented. God Bless
OMG... Stay blessed.... 🙏
How old are you now
Why is the video titled prodigal ? The boy is prodigious not prodigal.
What a talent! Holy smokes! 👑😍
Iam happy you have found your passion at early stage of life
When I learn piano,
Expectation : like you
Reality :
Teacher : C , D , E , F , G ...
AFTER one month:
This is the c chord
You really need patience dude...
Every person who had learnt a musical instrument has to go through all these...
It's not about how much time you take, it's all about your interest and determination...
If you've got both, then nothing can ever stop you👍🏻
@@Varsha_Thomas wow really motivating my brother👏
@@kobrakaigaming Hehe😅
Thanks 😁
@@Varsha_Thomas very motivative
@@cirawjahanandhi3677 😊
And never forget to
PRACTICE!!!
✌🏻
you are my inspiration😘
Love love every video of yours. The final performance was out of the world. Awesome. Awesome.
TEDx Talks kindly remove the word prodigal and replace it with prodigy, if that's what you meant. Prodigal has a very different meaning.
Dear Lydia, you are highly blessed by God. My blessing too. You are very humble, so down to earth. You are really great child of Mother India.
Excellent
👍 excellent.
What an offensive title..... He is a Prodigy, not PRODIGAL.
Extraordinary! My God...
This seems like a rehearsal. Where's the original with the audience ?? 🤔
Once in a century genius
Salute from me
One of the most humble people I have seen.
Super 🎸🎤👍👍👍😍😍😍💗💗💗
Super
Magician!
Superb.
Blessed prodigy!
bro your notes are missing when you play flight of the bumblebee at 300 bpm
The point of music is to give auditory pleasure and have fun. Playing FOTB doesn't cut it... sorry.
Amazing!
Super thampi!!!
Lydian how you learn these pieces?
you are really a child prodigy
Indian power......💪
