She was 6 years old when she began tinkering with the keys.

The nomination for a Grammy award was very unexpected for her.

She avoids "crowd-pleasers" because they are too easy, unchallenging, I think.

Yes, she really likes to do music.

Her future looks promising.

I wonder who you think is more successful,Yuja, a famous pianist with a promising future or Andrei, who came to the U.S. in his fifties and faces difficult challenges.
