In an interview with WKYC in the US, Darrius incredibly dismisses his disability and says he knows “nothing much about it”.

“I just looked at what people did and I just copied it,” the pianist said. “I found out my own way to work around it.”

Proud Mum, Tamara, told the hosts of WKYC that her son still makes her go “WOW!!”

“I was so worried for him when he was born,” she admitted. “But he took off crawling and when he could talk, the most you would ever hear him say is, ‘I can do it! I can do it!’ I knew it would be fine and he’s proving it.”

Unbelievable!
