Update: The story you are about to read was first written and published in January 2023 on , but the latest update is that Jude has been offered a scholarship to read jazz and classical music at the Michigan State University.
He shared this information on his Facebook page with the message, "Michigan State University gave me a scholarship to study jazz and classical music at Michigan State University College of Music under their great professors and will never ever forget this experience." Jude Kofie, a 12-year-old son of Ghanaian parents living in Aurora, Colorado, was with the family one day when his father started hearing an unusually good sound coming from their basement.
Of course, there was an old keyboard in there, but Isaiah Kofie, the father, was certain nobody at home knew how to play it.
But he got the shock of his life when, on walking in on his son, he saw him beautifully and masterfully displaying his musical prowess on the keyboard.
