Sara is not exaggerating. Her son, Avett, has become a viral sensation after she started sharing videos of his incredible talent on social media.

The little boy, who can play the piano, drums, guitar, and ukulele, is completely self-taught. At just 11 months old, he pulled himself up to the piano and started playing!

Avett started with children's classics like 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' and 'The Hokey Pokey.'

But then, he quickly moved on, tackling more advanced songs like The Beatles 'Let It Be', The Turtles 'Happy Together', and even Queen 'Bohemian Rhapsody'!

"There's really nothing he can't play," Sara Moore explains. "He has touched so many people's lives."

His musical talents have made this sweet boy an internet celebrity. And Avett is proving that you don't have to let your disabilities hold you back.

"When Avett was 2 months old and they told me he was blind...I could not make it home because I was crying," Sara said. "Something that I thought was so tragic turned out to be his greatest and most beautiful gift."

God gave Avett Ray Maness a special purpose, for sure. He first inspired his mom to write a lovely children's book called Cotton Candy Clouds. And now he's inspiring millions with his beautiful music!
