Oh my, he recently covered one of my favorite song FIREFLIES by Owl City. Love this boy so much! What a talented young man. When I first saw him on Youtube he's just a lil kid..but now, he is all grown up!
I still remember, four years ago, I was searching for a tutorial on how to play "More Than Words" on guitar...then I saw his video, I was like...uh, this kid is beyond genius!!!
