Karolina Protsenko has made a name for herself online for being a musical prodigy. Aged only thirteen, the Ukrainian-born musician has been classically trained in violin and has been busking in Santa Monica since 2017. Having appeared on the Ellen Show, many now know of Karolina’s talents. With musical parents, Karolina has been following in their footsteps. Now, it seems that her younger brothers, Leo and Nicholas Protsenko, are doing exactly the same and developing their own musical talents.
Leo Protsenko, aged only five years old, has amazed everyone with his piano-playing and singing abilities. He often appears with his mother on his very own YouTube channel. However, he recently appeared in a video with another guest – the youngest member of the family, three-year-old Nicholas. Joining Karolina and their mother on the streets of Santa Monica, Leo played the piano, while Nicholas charmed everyone with his voice on the cover of Elvis’s ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love’.
Bystanders were shocked by the talents of the two young boys, stopping in their tracks to listen to them play and sharing looks of amazement as they saw how young Nicholas was. The stunning video also grabbed the attention of online fans, who flocked to watch it, giving the performance over 4.9M views in a matter of months. Many commented on the children’s impressive abilities for their ages, with one viewer declaring young Nicholas “another musical genius for the Protsenko Family.”
Through Leo’s YouTube channel, Nicholas has shown that he is not simply a one-song wonder. Proving his precociousness, over the last six months, Nicholas has joined his brother to sing a variety of songs, including Celine Dion’s classic ‘My Heart Will Go On’ and the festive ‘Feliz Navidad’. One of his most popular performances on the channel was when he joined both Leo and Karolina in a cover of ‘Hallelujah’ by Leonard Cohen, in a performance that was equal parts moving and adorable.
It is clear to anyone that the Protsenko family are set to become an entire family made up of musical prodigies. Encouraged by their musical parents, the talents the children show at such a young age are nothing short of remarkable. As Karolina makes a name for herself and has already appeared on national television, her younger brothers continue to grow in their musical abilities. With some of the most popular songs of all time already memorized and performed, it is clear that they are off to a fairly spectacular start in their musical journeys.
