Watch: One-man band goes viral after capturing the attention of Anand Mahindra, Farhan Akhtar
But who is this talented musician, whose name and origins are still unknown?
#whatsappwonderbox The friend who posted this wasn’t sure where this rather resourceful one-man-band was from. He suspects somewhere in the NorthEast. Anyone know him? I’d like to give him an award for innovation or musical talent—haven’t quite decided which one yet! 😊 pic.twitter.com/MHA3DqXQZf

A one-man band has achieved celebrity status on social media after famous people like actor-and-director Farhan Akhtar and businessman Anand Mahindra shared a video of his performance.
Mahindra tweeted the video (above) which, he said, was from his “WhatsApp Wonderbox”. In it, the talented man can be seen playing several instruments at the same time – a guitar, a mouth organ and drums, adding a finishing touch by singing.
The identity of the performer was unknown, prompting Mahindra to enquire if anyone knew him. He even added that he wanted to give a man an award for “innovation or musical talent.”
A few days ago, actor, director and producer Farhan Akhtar also tweeted the same video, seeming equally impressed with the musician.
What a ⭐️.. no idea who he is or where he’s at but he sure deserves a RT. #musiclove #makehimfamous #onemanband pic.twitter.com/4WRAVEnnAu

More than skill he is displaying enormous right brain-left brain balance. Its difficult to do rhythm, percussion and melody at the same time. Unusual thinking skills.
