He's been featured on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Good Morning America, and Oprah (where he was named one of Oprah's All Time Smartest, Most Talented Kids). The next year, he was certified by Guinness World Records as the youngest musician and entertainer to ever headline his own national tour. At nine, he made history as the youngest musician to create and host his own nationally televised concert special on PBS and was the youngest headliner ever in Las Vegas.
