Imagine being a little kid and channeling all your energy into something you absolutely LOVE. It could be making lego figurines, adding sparkles on every painting that you makes, or something a little bit more advanced…something like singing, maybe?
It’s no new news that children can pick up on skills and learn things a lot faster than adults—that’s the benefit of being a child! So, when kids pull out some pretty impressive tricks from up their sleeve, we shouldn’t be too surprised, they’re born naturals!
Claire Ryann is only five-years-old, but she’s been a Youtube star for much of her life. She first appeared alongside her father, performing music from her favorite Disney movies. Noticing that she enjoyed singing, her dad invited her to sing with him, allowing her to choose the songs. Claire took to singing naturally and without any prompting, was perfect in front of the camera.
It wasn’t long before people started noticing Claire’s Youtube videos and she quickly became a viral sensation. Her channel has millions of followers, and her videos have hundreds of millions of views.
Coming from a musical family has undoubtedly influenced this little girl. Her father is a music producer and music was simply a part of her household. However, no one could have predicted that she would step in front of the camera and perform like a professional. She was just enjoying quality time with her dad — perhaps that’s why her videos seem so genuine, and she has such a connection with her audience.
Claire has been in many videos over the years, lending her tiny, angelic voice to Disney classics and even hymns, but the only instrument she showcased was her voice. That’s about to change; Claire has learned to play a musical instrument. She doesn’t play the piano or even the violin — Claire has learned to play the ukelele. She does hope to learn more instruments in the future.
But, for now, she’s delighting her audience and gaining new fans with her adorable, charming, and talented ukelele performance of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.” It’s hard to imagine a song that could be any more perfect for this little “star” to sing.
Watch Claire in the video below, and share the tune with your family and friends and brighten their day!
