Awadagin Pratt
first started playing piano at age 6. He picked up the violin at 9. He
was so talented at both instruments he ended up graduating with diplomas
in piano performance, violin performance, and conducting.
Soon

really took off when he became the first African-American pianist to win
an international prize, the Naumberg International Piano Competition.
