At nine years old, little Ellen Alaverdyan is already an internet sensation. A child prodigy and multi-instrumentalist, Ellen has around 40,000 followers on her Facebook , where she posts bass covers of artists like Deep Purple , The Beatles , and Jimi Hendrix .
The young girl's skill with the bass is surprising not only for her young age, but also for the short time she's had to practice – Ellen only started training the instrument in April 2020, using the Yousician . “I’ve listened to music my whole life,” says the young bassist. “At first I didn’t understand anything, but I liked it. I learned the ukulele, then to sing, then to play drums, and then the piano, guitar, and finally, the bass.”
In her most recent post, Ellen nails the bassline on Rush playing with the help of Geddy Lee , a gift from Tech 21. Check it out:
