Jude Nyame Yie Kofie, 11, surprised his father one morning when he heard his son playing the keyboards as if he had taken lessons for years.
"I was here watching the news when I heard him play something," said his father, Isaiah, who was a drummer in his home country of Ghana."So I grabbed my phone, went down there, and was like, 'Dude, play that again.'" In about a year's time, Jude is now the lead keyboardist at their church, a one-man wedding band, and a viral YouTube and TikTok star.
