Steve Aoki Grants Boy With Life-Threatening Illness a Wish for Piano Lessons
By Bryan Ke
DJ Steve Aoki made a child’s wish come true by inviting him to his Las Vegas home and bought him a piano and three months of lessons.
Kids Wish Network, an organization dedicated to granting wishes of children ages 3 to 18 who are battling life-threatening illnesses, helped set up the heartwarming moment.
The 41-year-old artist invited 6-year-old Jamar and his family into his home earlier this month, according to Daily Mail.
Aoki gave Jamar, also known as DJ Masterpiece, a tour inside his $8 million Las Vegas home. The two new pals had a great time playing inside the artist’s foam and trampoline room and exchanged signatures on the custom DJ Masterpiece T-shirt. They also played the piano together.
While speaking to a TMZ photographer after his playdate with Jamar, Aoki couldn’t stop expressing how impressed he was with the aspiring musician.
“He’s a little star actually. He’s a talented kid I can tell,” he said. “He jumped right on my piano, I didn’t even direct him and I didn’t tell him to do it. That was the first thing he went to.”
Aoki noted that Jamar went back to the piano after they jumped into the foam pit, adding that he will be the “next new producer.”
“When you’re that young and you are magnetically drawn to instruments, it’s just bound to happen,” Aoki explained.
