An 11-year-old boy walks into a busy airport coffee shop and sits down at the piano. Without hesitation, he starts playing the beautiful opening notes of Ludovico Einaudi’s “Nuvole Bianche.” The sound fills the air, and people begin to stop and listen. Three boys around his age watch in awe as he plays, showing incredible talent beyond his years.
As he finishes his performance, the entire coffee shop bursts into applause. The staff are so impressed that they offer him a free breakfast as a thank you for the entertainment. This amazing moment was caught on video and shared on YouTube, where it quickly became a sensation, racking up over 25 million views!
But that was just the beginning for this young pianist. Harrison was also filmed playing a public piano at the ‘Liverpool One’ shopping center, and once again, his talent shone through. The video went viral, and soon, the world started taking notice. His YouTube channel, ‘Harrison Piano,’ now boasts over 55 million views across all his videos!
So, who is the boy behind the music? His name is Harrison Crane, and he’s from the UK. One of his most popular videos features him playing famous dance songs from the 90s. That video was so popular that it got featured on the Ministry of Sound’s official Instagram and Facebook pages! Not only that, but he was also invited to perform live on ITV’s “Good Morning Britain.” Talk about going viral!
Even though he’s only 12 years old, Harrison has achieved more views than many professional musicians do in their entire careers. His talent, creativity, and love for spontaneous performances have taken him on an exciting journey to fame and even live TV appearances.
Harrison loves sharing his music with the world through his YouTube channel. On his page, he says, “Whenever I learn a new song and have the opportunity to perform on public pianos, I will post the videos on here for you to enjoy.”
As he continues to grow as a musician, Harrison is now creating amazing homemade videos, which his fans absolutely love. One of his most impressive performances was at Manchester Airport’s Terminal 2, where he entertained travelers with his incredible skills at just 11 years old.
But how did such a young boy get into playing music from the 90s, especially dance music? After all, he’s too young to even step inside a nightclub! Harrison says he got his inspiration from his dad’s music choices. “It’s the best kind of music out there. It’s just so fun and upbeat. My dad plays it in the car all the time,” he says.
Harrison isn’t alone in his musical journey. In one video, he teams up with Jack, a 9-year-old drummer from “School of Rock.” Together, they put on an incredible performance at a busy London train station, wowing the crowd with their skills.
Interestingly, Harrison doesn’t come from a musical family, but his passion for music is undeniable. He started playing the piano at just 6 years old. He learns songs by ear, watching YouTube videos, and reading sheet music.
