This kid is riffing improve, mixing one song seamlessly with another while peppering it with playful variations on the melody. It's like his imagination is flowing out his fingers as though the piano doesn't even exist. That is not learned, it is gifted.
Whatever you did, Kerry, you did it right. Personally, I'd love to see your lad play with Derek Paravicini. He's an English guy related to Camilla Parker Bowles. He's severely autistic and completely blind, and the only pianist I've ever seen or heard that can do what Chooka does. I think a 'piano-off' between them would probably break TH-cam forever. Search for 'The Musical Genius, Derek Paravicini by Channel 5 UK', if you want to see what I mean. If it happens, though, I want front row seats! Don't let me down. ;P
+Justin Asher you have no idea what you are saying! How sad that you have jumped to that conclusion. Our sons are both incredibly creative....why?? because they had so much freedom growing up. Bet you didn’t!
The first time I watched and listened to today and can immediately say that the piano is a musical instrument that from now on I love the most. Rade Serbia Belgrade
When I first watched your audition tape on Australia's Got Talent I was amazed, in complete awe of what I saw. You sir, are the best Pianist I have ever seen, and heard.
+Chooka Parker Thanks for the reply. What are your goals with music? Hopefully to become THE best pianist in the world! You practicality already are, at least IMO. There should be a documentary about you. Seriously. Always a fan!
got a piano at 14 and became famous at 16.......he started late.....he may be the best classical player in the world....imagine that...nowheresville and here he is...wow....just wow.
It's uncanny, but I'm not at all surprised. Your flow Chooka, is so remarkable and watching your hands, the way you make the piano come alive it's like watching waves at a beach, moving back and forth, which brings me right back to the flow, totally awesome........Just perfect.
Chooka Parker is what us Aussies would call "a bloody pearler"........................Good onya sport!! You are a gift from a higher power. Thank you for sharing it with us. It is definitely OUR pleasure.
I just heard Chooka for the first time today. What an amazing talent. God smiled on Earth the day he let us share the talent of Chooka Parker. And to think he is going to grow and grow, all the while dazzling us with his amazing vision of music. Thanks, Chooka!
I like how no one recognized him incorporating an absolutely INCREDIBLY beautiful rendition of Eminem's "Lose Yourself" at @ 7:30.. Im seriously your biggest fan +Chooka Parker
Chooka, I'm a musician and a guitar player myself, but I'm just a spark compared to the raging inferno that you are. Keep it up, mate. This is your destiny. You will go down in history alongside the likes of King David, Mozart, and Beethoven.
Wow, now he is amazing and a total individual! Totally a one of a kind! It's just amazing to think he can play like that since he only started playing at age 14!
I cannot measure the beauty that music brings into my world. And meeting Chooka, has been an unforgettable moment in my life. His gift to us all, is such a treasure.
I came across Chooka on Australia's got talent on TH-cam a couple of days ago and just HAD to see more of him and his music and then, i found this video. What can anyone say to describe this young mans music, talent and his obvious passion for the way he plays it???. Its even more amazing when you learn of his background and how he's taught himself to produce such beautiful music without so much as looking at a music sheet!. I guess the greatest compliment i can pay Chooka is the fact that ive never had much of an interest in listening to piano music but for this lad i'd happily PAY to go and watch him perform. I wish him nothing but good luck for his future and i hope he goes down in history as one of the great entertainers of his era.
Wow... there are people that say : "I read all my comments so pls comment and subscribe..." But they actually don't... And you do... people value that a LOT so you're doing a great job m8 :D
Freaking Amazing! You're such an awesome player! You have an incredible and unerring sense of timing! It's like each of your fingers is a drum stick. And your ability to blend different songs, styles, and melodies so fluidly and effortlessly is mind-blowing! I hope your journey through life playing your unique style of music makes you rich and famous(as much as you want to be!), because someone with your kind of talent deserves it! So, always be humble, always be gracious, and always be thankful! Now, go do GREAT things, Chooka!
I'M SO AMAZED THAT I ALMOST FORGOT TO LIKE IT! Man, world needs your music!!!! I'm gonna spend next days to listen to everything you made and show it to my friends! You just made my life better! I wish you the best!
As one who plays the piano myself, I will say that this young man's talent and skill exponentially exceeds mine. That said, what he needs is some training and the ability to create as another poster put it "discernible melodies." He also needs some finesse so that he can add dynamics to his playing. But again, his current skill level is off the charts. This is amazing talent and that is a whopping understatement!
Chooka receives the inspiration from his brain, when he decides to play anything he imagines the music which makes his fingers move . pure magic. Long-life to you Chooka
Oh, you're just having too much fun on the piano, Chooka. That's the way to play, with joy. Too many trained pianists could never play as freely as you do, bro. Original ideas are born from just playing and playing. Being a drummer doesn't hurt, since the piano is essentially a percussive instrument when you really think about it. Hammers hitting strings, like a dulcimer. Keep having all the fun you can, dude. It's a journey anyway, no particular destination. Just let your heart and your ears guide you onward, just as you're doing now. Technique is one thing, but what and how you play cannot be taught, you're born with it and eventually it always finds it's way out. To be shared and brother, you're doing your thing. So happy for you to discover your passion. Good parents raising you well and with great values as a human being. Go forth and entertain the masses, remembering always, family is there, cheering you on. The world awaits those with the right stuff. You've definitely got it, young sir. Excellent touch, pedaling and tempo. Enjoyed this trip with you. I did this once at a piano store in Compton, once. It was a blast! Cheers, mate!
I love his playing and I do not typically listen to piano music. but I hear how his love for music and flowing from his heart through his fingers. Chooka is so very blessed and I wish him a lifetime of playing and sharing his love for music.
Your ear and familiarity with the keyboard are so superior to that of others. You can just sit there and play without even looking at the keys, and you can select the right notes and chords, etc, intuitively. The music flows out of you. Brilliant. Never stop. Try to have some of your pieces transcribed, because you will make money that way, and leave some if your creations for posterity.
There are few words to describe this guy...I could listen to him every single day...amazing talent and plays so effortlessly!!!! Unbelievable!!! You are one in a million talent!!
thanks for helping chooka parker duing this, how gad, how he duing that with only 2 years of practis and he just keep on going and pleas dont stop it. And yes he needs more vidios more publication and more likes etc.i wil post in my facebook and in my youtube chanel sow wee in portugal can enjoy. thanks......
a down to earth natural versatile musical genius - the sky is the limit for him.....and beyond......how nice that he is an aussie (I spent over 30 years in this wonderful place including visiting Maryborough, Vic where I believe he grew up on a farm? My favourite performer ever in Australia and perhaps in the world?
Chooka, I have never in my live (and I am 50 now) seen a person being more dedicated to his instrument than you. I passed on this clip to all my friends with my comment: "Remember his name as it might be the "Mozart" of today's times...". You are in Music what Albert Einstein (an old friend of my Grandma) was in Physics... Also Albert had everything in his mind and mixed it the way you do it on the Piano. And one thing also is common, Albert had a great sense of humor and lived a quite simple life when he was the neighbour of my grand parents in Zurich.
I remember discovering him a couple years ago and saw his audition on austrailias got talent. i was blown away, probably the most gifted pianist i will ever hear in my life.
you were blessed at your birth by the god of piano. and people like you have a really heavy responsability for their generation: to keep music alive. the audience does not want rihanna, bieber, one direction or any other made up marketed star. they're just singing puppets , pushed under the spotlights to sell clothes and magazines. no, people want artists, not models, they want guys and girls like you, who have nothing to sell but their art, who are nothing more that sensitive and creative humans. you belong to this category of people that wrote history of music, and now it's your turn to fill the page. keep it up and have fun, cause it's wonderful.
Thanks for your comment! I always wanted to create a new genre in music, lol. Sub to my YT to see more..th-cam.com/users/ChookaParkerChannel Cheers! Chooka
Chooka Parker You are a beautiful soul with infinite potentials, You are the pure definition of "Art" .. May your spirit live for an eternity! Much love Chooka❤🙌😌!!
Eric Hondel bieber is a pretty decent drummer....but overall musician.? singer?......nothing exceptional by any means...not even a fraction of the talent this guy has.....
I seriously just made an account so I could post a comment on this video! Pure GENIUS!! You are so amazing and talented. Thank you for sharing your music with the world. I'm sure you have some negative aspects of putting yourself out there, but you still do it and with so much dignity and respectfulness. Thank you for your musical talents.
Pohmy bastard here, only found you yesterday, blown away, I love how you go in and out of genres keeping the melody, truly fantastic and very entertaining.
You see, after playing guitar and piano for a decade. I have realized that there are 2 types of musicians. Those who naturally acquire sounds and music theory by countless hours of playing to the point where they can speak with their playing (Jimmy Hendrix, mozart etc..)They probably don't have a single idea what a Dorian mode is or what the circle of fifth does.. they don't care.. they feel it and their thoughts are instantly translated to sound.. while others like me who covered hours of formal music theory, trying to copy the greats and can never to seem to match them... Guys like this made me realize i wasted my a decade of my life..
Thank you, Chooker you are truly amazing. I have been in Australia for 30 years and miss the music of my home country Wales. I always whistle Fur de Lis when I am happy and play around with the tune a bit, your rendition is a much need revitalisation of a truly great piece of music. I love great music, yours is the best I have ever heard. Just so much heart in it ! If you are not doing it already, I hope you will create your own master pieces, I will subscribe to your channel and check it out. Please keep doing what you are doing also take care of yourself. All the best
Chooka.... I watched in amazement, and you blew me away!!! If you ever come to Belize (Central America), PLEASE look me up. We are Canadians with a small lodge here (bed & breakfast). Only thing is, I'd have to find you a piano. So if you're ever in the neighborhood.... (give me some notice.... you have a free home here with us.) I'm in so much awe of your talent. :)
Wow, thanks for the invite :) Not sure when I'm going over that way…keep up to date by subbing to my channel and follow me on Facebook, that way if I'm over there you'll know. th-cam.com/users/ChookaParkerChannel Cheers!
sort-of a cross between Jerry Lee Lewis and Beethoven, crowned by Mozart, then dressed with a strong shot of Chopin. I am thrilled to my toes! You make my heart happy, Chooka! Stay humble, my friend! All the greatest people are, of course...
Mate, you master the piano others it was the piano that masters them!!! Followed you for while some years ago but you evolved and you have style and personality! Great and keep playing and may God give you many graces in your future.
Buddy you are a freaking genius. I could listen to you play all day. Please record a album and let me know when you do. Much love from the USA! You're insanely special man.
first time I've seen this young man, and wow. I play classical, my husband everything else, but WHOA. You have an amazing talent. Awesome. Thank you for sharing this with us. :)
I played your videos in our pub and people couldn´t believe! Especially one of my friend who's been playing the piano for more than 10 years! Just sat having his mouth open;) Greetings from Czech Republic (Europe)!
I have no words. I’m just lost in the music. This is the most beautiful thing I have ever been blessed to experience. Thank you Chooka Parker. I could listen to you play for hours. Days. This is talent beyond anything we are even ready to comprehend. A prodigy walking among us. I would love to shake your hand one day. My respect goes out to you. This is amazing.
I thought I left a comment on here when I watched it the first time but I guess I didn't! lol Anyway, I just watched your 21st Birthday video and had to come back and watch this again! I love watching you, as well as listening. You're so good!
chooka parker I love music, live w a musician,but had to tell you, YOU AMAZE me. You are indeed a prodigy+the future is yours.Don't ever stop creating,no matter what.You have a gift that was meant to be used. My best to you,Amy
Could listen to Chooka all day, just mind-blowing.
This kid is riffing improve, mixing one song seamlessly with another while peppering it with playful variations on the melody. It's like his imagination is flowing out his fingers as though the piano doesn't even exist. That is not learned, it is gifted.
The best piano player I've ever heard in my life by a country mile!
Thanks Garry!
Garry Graham i see what you did there
Brad Thornton Thanks Brad :)

Brad Thornton Main thing is to enjoy it!
The music really lives in him - that's a bless!!!
Glad you like it :)
Chooka Parker you are amazing chooka
Chris Johns Thanks Chris :) Not sure why, but it says I'm restricted talking to you, so hope it's all okay.
I had my privacy settings turned up on accident.
Chris Johns Cheers, no worries!
Sad thing is, not enough people in the world know this pure Genius, feels a waste. Everyone should know this man and be listening to his music.
I could listen to him all day and forget the rest of the world!
"A lot of my early music sounded like"... and he just plays a piece like mozart on the spot. Unreal. :D
Haha, but it’s true because that’s all that he wanted to listen to.
Whatever you did, Kerry, you did it right. Personally, I'd love to see your lad play with Derek Paravicini. He's an English guy related to Camilla Parker Bowles. He's severely autistic and completely blind, and the only pianist I've ever seen or heard that can do what Chooka does. I think a 'piano-off' between them would probably break TH-cam forever. Search for 'The Musical Genius, Derek Paravicini by Channel 5 UK', if you want to see what I mean. If it happens, though, I want front row seats! Don't let me down. ;P
Ah, I’ve not heard of Derek.
You seem like such a helicopter parent, let your boys live their own lives.
+Justin Asher you have no idea what you are saying! How sad that you have jumped to that conclusion. Our sons are both incredibly creative....why?? because they had so much freedom growing up. Bet you didn’t!

Good to hear! I've just done a collaboration with a Soprano singer (Elena, 16). Plus I've been doing Jazz and other genres too, hope you like them!
This guy is the epitome prodigy! To be so damn good at such an early age and with only a handful of years of experience goes against the laws nature.
+FOAD RIGHTNOW Cheers!
+Chooka Parker Thanks for the reply. What are your goals with music? Hopefully to become THE best pianist in the world! You practicality already are, at least IMO. There should be a documentary about you. Seriously. Always a fan!
FOAD RIGHTNOW I’d like to keep playing, and have been writing for film. I’d like to change a new genre in music! Cheers.
I just made my father a fan... he doesn't even talk English, I had to translate, but he admires this talent. Please, keep doing what you are doing!

I just heard Chooka for the first time today.
What an amazing talent.
God smiled on Earth the day he let us share the talent of Chooka Parker.
And to think he is going to grow and grow, all the while dazzling us with his amazing vision of music.

I was feeling down today until somehow I came across this. Thank you mr Parker!
This guy's a fucking genius...
+muff patrol Dude's got some serious OCD, love it.
All the old muffs that spend thousands on Mozart busts should invest in kids like these instead.
please no profanity, you can't impress anyone
I agree he is a True GENIUS 👍👍❤️❤️❤️
I like how no one recognized him incorporating an absolutely INCREDIBLY beautiful rendition of Eminem's "Lose Yourself" at @ 7:30.. Im seriously your biggest fan +Chooka Parker

Oh, you're just having too much fun on the piano, Chooka. That's the way to play, with joy. Too many trained pianists could never play as freely as you do, bro.

AMAZING GRACE he expected for us all to know and sing LOL
haha, he got so sick of the original version!
Thank you, Chooker you are truly amazing. I have been in Australia for 30 years and miss the music of my home country Wales. I always whistle Fur de Lis when I am happy and play around with the tune a bit, your rendition is a much need revitalisation of a truly great piece of music.

Only thing is, I'd have to find you a piano. So if you're ever in the neighborhood.... (give me some notice.... you have a free home here with us.)
I'm in so much awe of your talent. :)
Wow, thanks for the invite :) Not sure when I'm going over that way…keep up to date by subbing to my channel and follow me on Facebook, that way if I'm over there you'll know. th-cam.com/users/ChookaParkerChannel Cheers!

Whao, what a talent. Found you at Australian gots talent. An amazing style, thanks for sharing it with the world. Even listening in Germany :)
sort-of a cross between Jerry Lee Lewis and Beethoven, crowned by Mozart, then dressed with a strong shot of Chopin. I am thrilled to my toes! You make my heart happy, Chooka! Stay humble, my friend! All the greatest people are, of course...
Mate, you master the piano others it was the piano that masters them!!! Followed you for while some years ago but you evolved and you have style and personality! Great and keep playing and may God give you many graces in your future.
