Two amazing artist, one enchanting show!

Ukulele child prodigy Feng E was born in Taiwan in 2007. In 2017, at the age of 10, he was a finalist on Asia's Got Talent. In 2018, a video of Feng E playing ukulele in a park area of Taipei went viral and now has nearly 20 million views. Owing to the viral video, Feng E was invited to The Ellen DeGeneres Show and played his ukulele for the world. Even though he's referred to as a child prodigy, Feng E's path to virtuosity wasn't so easy. The reason he took up the instrument was that his kindergarten teacher had discovered Feng E's finger development was slow; he couldn't draw a straight line or form a ball out of clay. His father tried to get him to play the piano, but the youngster lacked both interest and aptitude. When Feng E's father introduced him to the ukulele, he also resisted. But his father eventually found a way to convince him to practice: he offered to play Legos with him after each lesson, and it worked. To date, Feng E has mastered five musical instruments, including piano. He also has numerous compositions to his name. Feng E has become a star in the world of ukulele music, performing and winning competitions around the world in places like Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, China and Hawaii.
