They have no TV (borrowed one for a short time to watch the competition), they had vinyl records, not cd, no iPods, mobiles, phones, etc. Just take a moment longer to think this out...aside from obviously possessing some amazing abilities that go beyond the 'norm' (Im no psychologist)he has had time to develop such a profound passion for music that he has spent every spare minute of his day for the past 5 years or so playing around, experimenting with the sounds that were constantly playing in the background whilst he was home schooled. BELIEVE ME - WYSWYG! If you want more Chooka check out his newly released iTunes CD "No Worries" Thank and cheers to you all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-74509249370704544112011-09-06T00:52:58.387+00:002011-09-06T00:52:58.387+00:00Talent is incredible, I don't dispute that.

And so many other influences also keep popping up here and there when he plays, it's impossible that he really pulled that music out of thin air.<br /><br />That's like saying that a race of aliens visiting Earth for the first time would look like humans so much that they could walk among us incognito!
