AMAZING STORY OF A 9 YEAR OLD WHO'S BEEN PLAYING PROFESSIONAL MUSIC BEFORE HE COULD WALK

Malachi Samedy, aged nine, from New Jersey, has been performing professionally for the past four years and now has his sights set on playing for President Obama. In a YouTube video the adorable musician explains that it would be his dream gig. 'I know when I play for [him] that I’m at the top of my game,' he adds.

Malachi got his first percussion kit when he was just 18 months old and is hoping that his impressive musical talent will take him all the way to the White House.

But Malachi isn't the only musically-talented member in his family. His father Nasser plays the bass guitar and has collaborated with artists including Janet Jackson and Paula Abdul.

His grandfather was also a percussionist.

Talking about his son's drumming ability, Mr Samedy said: 'It’s been a wonderful journey just watching him grow, watching him learn and how he absorbs the music.

'I want him to be happy and I want him to follow his passion.'

Along with performing for President Obama, Malachi says he would like to learn how to play the piano, violin and saxophone, and pass on his knowledge to other young people.

Commenting on his drumming skills, he cooly replied: 'I have no idea how I do it.'
