In the video, Egypt attentively plays as his dad surprises him by recording the moment. While still playing the piano, he looks at Swizz with a smile looking comfortable in a white tank and red patterned swim shorts.
“This boy is turning into something else 🙆🏽🙆🏽🙆🏽🥵🥵🥵😅🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳. EG Keys!!! Sing something to it and tag #EGKEYS,” he captioned the post.
Egypt thoroughly enjoys playing the piano without pressure. After continuously asking his mother to perform on stage with her, his dream came true when he joined Keys at the 2019 iHeartRadio Music Awards.
Keys posted a video of Egypt playing piano alongside her on stage during one of her gigs in Germany last year. She also revealed his self-assurance during the historic time.
“Egy, we are so proud of you!!! This is crazy!! He’s been asking me to go on stage every show, and me being in mama bear mode, I’m thinking…. “Is it to much? To many people,” she said. “Is now the time? Should he practice more??? This guy gets on the stage as if there wasn’t 17,000 people out there and just smashes!! All confidence, all smiles, all natural!!! Wow! I’m blown away!! And Mannheim, Germany, brought that ENERGY tonight!!!!!!! We love you, young king! You’re literally unstoppable!! Drop some hearts in the chat for EGY!!!!!!,” she added.
