Seriously on it with ease.

I never learned an instrument to play but at her age I was performing classical vocals with solos and I could read what I was singing. If my parents ever gave a shit...

But this girl is smokin! I watch cover and other videos of her and Yoyoka at least once a week, they give me hope for the future in a strange but satisfying way. There are other youngsters out there who are amazing but these two seem to capture my attention. They have parents who are able to give them the room they need to develop their gifts, it's fantastic. Yoyoka's parents deserve kudos too, she is now studying music and English in an arts school in the Bay area as of early this year.

Ellen has already been around the block with noted musicians, including Bootsy Collins! There's a video of her on the Steve Harvey Show (never knew it existed until I started looking for Ellen vids) but he gets Bootsy and other noted bass players with some funk cred talking to her and cheering her on when she was nine. Worth the watch, it's fun.

Just f'ing stunning and I love it.
