I just want to make them happy and wonderful." reports NBC Bay Area. Although Jaden Williams has a quiet voice, he is anything but shy and immediately busted a move for the cameras.

"I was so excited to do that," Jaden said of the concert. "I would tell Miss Harrington, my music teacher, 'When is the concert going to start?' I was so happy." He and his family were surprised when news of their joy appeared on the Instagram feeds of thousands of users. "His classmate's mother actually posted it on her Instagram and it kind of took off, and she had tagged tag my wife to it," said Kirk Williams, Jaden's father.
