He has performed on the TV show The World’s Best, which calls upon performers and artists from around the world. He plays everything from western classical and jazz to Indian music. Lydian Nadhaswaram hails from Chennai, and practices to play the piano 5 to 6 hours a day. This week saw Lydian appearing on popular US TV show, The Ellen Show, where he played Mozart’s Turkish March with blindfolds on. He has been on the world stage since the age of 7, and is adept at playing not just one but two pianos at once. The singer’s last appearance on Ellen’s show was in 2019 to promote his latest album, Portraits, which he recorded after a long break from music to go to university at the University of Tulsa, majoring in history.Lydian Nadhaswaram is only 13 years of age, but his piano skills are akin to those of hardened veterans. “She wouldn’t even ask, ‘How are you doing? How are you holding up?’ It was just like, ‘Here’s what we’re going to talk about.
“Whenever I would come on the show, it was such a fake smile,” Chance said. While he’s made a few appearances on Ellen’s show since being dropped, the attitude from the talk show host has completely shifted. When 14-year-old Chance’s 2012 project on eleveneleven bombed, the singer said that Ellen “completely abandoned” him and refused his phone calls, and he lost his management team and publicist. He said, “She would come in and look at a rack, yell at stylists, berate people in front of me and say, ‘This is what you’re wearing on the show.’ She was just degrading to people.” Not only that, but she controlled everything down to what he could wear. That may have been the case initially, but she quickly became “manipulative” and “self-centered,” to the point that, “My whole week, my whole month, my whole year could change one text message from her.” He flew for the first time to be welcomed with open arms by the openly gay talk show host, to the point that she gave him $10,000 and a brand new piano, as well as a litany of managers and agents to jumpstart his music career on her new record label, eleveneleven.Ĭhance said in the Rolling Stone interview, “I remember her pulling my mom aside and saying, ‘You’re never going to have to work again a day in your life.’” And to the young boy, Ellen said, “I’m going to protect you. We were so unsure of what we were getting into, and the person that helped cure all of that skepticism and chaotic energy was Ellen.” In his interview with Rolling Stone, the singer reminisced, “We just couldn’t believe what was happening.
