His grandfather asked him at the tender age of five what musical instrument he wanted, and he chose the violin as his instrument of choice. Not only does he play classical music, but also puts his own spin on some of the big hits that are featured on our playlist.

Thank you for giving us a taste of your talents, Sebastian. He certainly does have a bright future ahead of him, don't you agree?
