The amazing story of musician Derek Paravicini, who despite being blind, and also suffering from severe learning difficulties and autism, only needs to hear a song once and is able to immediately replay it.
Paravicini, now 30, is a musical savant nicknamed the “human iPod”. He was born 25 weeks premature, and although oxygen therapy saved his life he incurred brain damage and now suffers from severe learning difficulties and autism. He is blind, unable to read Braille and can barely count, let alone read music, but he possesses an extraordinary gift: he can play anything after hearing it only once.
