It's impossible to ignore the talent and passion that drummer 17-year-old Gabby Garcia has for music. When asked why she loves drumming so much, Gabby instantly responded that it helps her express herself. Gabby Garcia is a drummer with Fort Myers High School marching band in Florida, as reported by NBC News. Her parents found out that Gabby was born deaf when they were just about to send her to kindergarten. She learned American sign language and lip reading. At 10, she got cochlear implants which boosted her hearing by 85 percent. However, she still was determined to learn drums through vibrations. Talking about how she does that, Gabby said, “I’m feeling it through my soul.” According to Gabby's school band director, Ledarian Townsendshe is one of his best students. He said: “The sky is the limit, she has nothing that can stop her.”



 

NBC reported that the Fort Myers High School marching band in Florida with whom Gabby performs was so good that they were invited to perform at London's New Year Day's parade. In the video, she can be seen playing the drums along with her team for thousands of people. Gabby loves challenges and likes to take them head-on. She said, “Yeah I like to take the hard challenges and if I’m able to accomplish them, ‘I feel like I’m capable, ok what's next?'”

Talking about talent, in another video uploaded on Twitter, a boy can be seen performing Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" and his voice is just magical! He plays the notes on the piano confidently while singing the song. He has won many hearts on the Internet with his performance and contagious energy. We don't know much about this boy's identity yet. Dressed in shorts and a T-shirt and with headphones on, he ends his performance with a wide smile. The video has been captioned, "Young boy performs a cover of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' on the piano. What a talent!" People could not stop appreciating the child for his skills. A user wrote, "Wow! How beautiful! What a talent, what a voice, and then the killing smile." Another wrote, "Can't wait to buy this kid's music when the time comes! Keep going, young person!!! You are AMAZING, that was FANTASTIC!!" Another said, "It's his singing that got to me more than his piano playing. Fantastic!"



 

 

Some even called him a reincarnation of Freddie Mercury. A user wrote, "Love it! Now it’s time to watch Freddie Mercury." Another said, "Rare footage of a young Freddie Mercury." The future of music sure looks promising with Freddie Mercury reincarnate and unstoppable Gabby making bold headways into the music world with their dazzling talent.
