all the way to the finals, but the Dallas native is also an Internet sensation
on YouTube because of his remarkable piano playing. The eighteen year old, who
is now a freshman at the University of North Texas, had barely graduated from
Newman Smith High School in 2008 when he submitted an audition tape and got

the event are $25 and benefit the scholarship fund of the Elan International
Music Festival, a 501c3 non-profit corporation.

Jeffrey.
