I close my eyes while listening to this and am transported back to the utterly finest funk sounds from the 1970s. I open them and watch these astounding youngsters play this original tune with the amazing joy, crispness and power decades beyond their calendar years. Truly mind blowing awesome!
This is what happens when ‘planets align.’ The perfect person. Born into the perfect situation. At the perfect time. This alignment brought us Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Peart, Pastorious, Rhodes and now Ellen. We are blessed to be witness to the beginnings of another unbelievable talent. It’s not just her playing either- she has an inner beauty and light that outshines mere mortals. God bless us all!
You must add Alma Deutscher (sold out Carnegie hall at age 15--all her own compositions) and Rita Payes--jazz vocalist and trombonist. They do not play funk or even rock but man can they play. If you are starting with Mozart... then these women must be checked out. They are here, on UA-cam.
Hey HxC, thanks a billion for this first reaction to Ellen Alaverdyan - and do you know what Ellen has in common with Angelina Jordan? ...she IS music, she feels and channels the music to the audience 😀 CU in your next Ellen Alaverdyan or Angelina Jordan reaction :) Stay well and healthy Best regards from Berlin/Germany Andreas 😎
Hi my friend your expression says it all I have been following Ellen and her dad Hovak for a few months now and Ellen at 10 years old has already made quite a name for herself I love to hear the bass and drums and this girl seriously is in a league of her own thank you for featuring her
Thanks for the video. About talented kids: 80 to 90 percent of musical talent is not born, it is developed during early childhood. This is why musicians' kids are much more likely to become musically talented. Ellen's parents have exposed her to all kinds of music from early childhood, and she has been able to play with various musical instrument from age of 2 or so. Her father Hovak Alaverdyan (also in the video) is a professional guitarist and sound engineer.
def want to discover more of ellen-plays-bass. This was so much fun to listen to and to watch, all those musicians have great fun! We need this. Thank you for your reaction @Highly!
Who doesn't wanna have talented offspring like this but watch her channel and see , dad has the music talent and is a very good teacher so its all in the DNA
I think the drummer is the same kid who was on her first video covering Zep's "The Ocean". Although he's older than Ellen, his drumming talent is on par with her bass work. Excellent sound!
Ellen and her dad, Hovac, did another home grown tune called "Don't Stop the Music", a duet where Ellen is MUCH more prominently heard without all the other musicians. Recorded when she was 9 years old and UA-camd when she was 10. Listen through to the end to put a smile on your face.
There's lots more in the world here's a small list different genres and all over world : Angelina Jordan, Aurora , Diana Ankudinova,Daneliya Tuleshova, Casey Bishop,Kenedi Anderson, Nandi Bushell(multiple instruments), Courtney Hadwin, Allie Sherlock, Angelica Hale,Charlotte Summers,(Mimi and Josie) ,Martha and Lucy Thomas, Emily Linge,Celine Tam, Chevel Shepard, Emi Sunshine ,TNT Boys all are young upcoming talents (really young only 8 bass player and singer Ellen Alaverdyan, 6 Sophia Fatu & 7 Claire Crosby singer and already been in a movie ) try Grace Vanderwaal won AGT at 12-13 ) Opera try Amira Willighagen won Hollands got talent 7-8, Laura Bretan ,Beau Dermott ,Emanne Beasha . Bands try "The Warning Band" and "Liliac" and "The Petersons" all young family bands and " The Sixsters"(Ukraine) and "Dea Matroni" from Ireland .Also try these a ventriloquist Darci Lynn Farmer and a violinist/singer Karolina Protsenko. And the genius composers Emily Bear and Alma Deutscher .
Totally Awesome. Her parents are Armenian (Russia) the drummer China. 10 & 12 years old. So glad to finally see real children doing REAL stuff that uplifts people instead of doing criminal stuff like you see on the media about every city USA. Thank you Ellen ❤️
Hi There Ellen Has Been Brought up By Hovak To Play her Bass And see her With Yoyoka Soma now 13 and the worlds best Drummer in The World With Eva And Mateo From The School Of Rock Doing Led Zepplin The Ocean And Her 3 X 10 Riffs On Bass and Her doing Rush Magic and Beatles Chris Tredwell Birmingham UK
Kids usually don't listen to parents, but they will copy all of your actions, if you want a talented musician kid, you will need to play a lot around them, after that see what instrument they fall for. The rest is practice.
Yes, exactly. Ellen was never asked or forced to play. Her dad started playing to her when she was still in a crib. Same thing happened with YOYOKA. YOYOKA was born into a family of musicians, she used to crawl over to the drums all the time. When she was 1.5 yrs old, they put her on their lap and she has been killing it ever since. At age 11 she was the youngest ever to be added to the DrummerWorld TOp 500 Drummers of ALL TIME. These two girls recorded "THE OCEAN" together after meeting just that day. They arrived together, tuned their instruments, did a sound check then nailed it first take, without any practice together.
If I ever was to ever go to her house to meet her and her father talking about I play the piano/keyboard I’d only be embarrassing myself at the Pathetic level I’m at. Look at them… wow

The guitarist (Hovak) is her father, a world class musician in his own right!

I hear ya
👌 Truth! 🎶🔥🤩
You must add Alma Deutscher (sold out Carnegie hall at age 15--all her own compositions) and Rita Payes--jazz vocalist and trombonist. They do not play funk or even rock but man can they play. If you are starting with Mozart... then these women must be checked out. They are here, on UA-cam.
Sky is definitely the limit for these musicians. They are all incredible.
Hey HxC,
thanks a billion for this first reaction to Ellen Alaverdyan - and do you know what Ellen has in common with Angelina Jordan? ...she IS music, she feels and channels the music to the audience 😀

Ellen is ❤wonderfull
Hi my friend your expression says it all I have been following Ellen and her dad Hovak for a few months now and Ellen at 10 years old has already made quite a name for herself I love to hear the bass and drums and this girl seriously is in a league of her own thank you for featuring her
She just blows your mind
Don't know who Alisa is, but the girl, yes girl, on the drums is Yoyoka from Japan and she is 10 years old. She kills it.
I was thinking the same thing. Definitely Yoyoka's style.
It is not Yoyoka. Yoyoka uses short hair and is way taller then this boy.
The gal on the drums is actually Alisaxie Xiaotong from China. She's 13. Yoyoka is currently 12? and she keeps her hair very short.😉
Ellen is a awesome Bass player. All are great her dad Novac on guitar 🎸 Noah on saxophone 🎷 and the girl on drums is incredible. 👍
fyi. Spelling is Hovak for her dad.
You make us all so happy! 😅😊❤ love right back at yall.
Thanks for the video.

I'm sure that wasn't all kinds of music, she was spared to know Miley Cyrus. The video when she visited Steve Vai is proof of this.
def want to discover more of ellen-plays-bass. This was so much fun to listen to and to watch, all those musicians have great fun! We need this. Thank you for your reaction @Highly!
At her age she has already jammed live with Steve Vai 🎸 She is a awesome Bass player
Who doesn't wanna have talented offspring like this but watch her channel and see , dad has the music talent and is a very good teacher so its all in the DNA
Damn,good stuff,some serious talent there,all of em
I think the drummer is the same kid who was on her first video covering Zep's "The Ocean". Although he's older than Ellen, his drumming talent is on par with her bass work. Excellent sound!
Nope, that was Yoyoka Soma, this is Alisaxie Xiaotong from china.
Some of the happiest music ever made!
Absolutely fantastic, loved it.
👍💓☮️🇨🇦☕🦫
Exelente, exelente y exelente......
You are so funny. I watched you watch Ellen and her Dad several times and still get a kick from your reaction. Her Dad is a great guitar player.
All the i's are dotted, all the t's are crossed, and she even has her name engraved on the decorative plate on the bass.
She is awesome
Ellen and her dad, Hovac, did another home grown tune called "Don't Stop the Music", a duet where Ellen is MUCH more prominently heard without all the other musicians. Recorded when she was 9 years old and UA-camd when she was 10. Listen through to the end to put a smile on your face.
