It’s difficult to find anything a 3-year-old does that isn’t adorable, even if they do throw tantrums occasionally. Sometimes they are so adorable that you are left speechless. Do you recall the Italian toddler who made a gesture reminiscent of an experienced Sicilian grandmother? Or the three-year-old who is thinking about what friendship means? What if the child thought she had received a call from one of her favorite Disney characters? Like a little soprano with a top bun, ready to melt hearts once again, another beautiful moment appears just when you think you’ve seen it all.
Meet Nicholas Protsenko, age three, who performs public singing while his brother, Leo, age six, plays the piano and occasionally the violin with their elder sister, Karolina. This gifted family frequently entertains on the sidewalks, making others happy. Nicholas’s performance of “You Raise Me Up” has recently won over hearts on the internet. A 3-year-old singing out lines like “I am strong when I am on your shoulders / You raise me up to more than I can be” is incredibly touching, in addition to the fact that he sings the entire song from memory.

The song was first sung by the Irish-Norwegian group Secret Garden, with music by Rolf Løvland and lyrics by Brendan Graham. Josh Groban popularized it in the United States. Despite the fact that the song has been sung innumerable times, Nicholas’s rendition is notable for its charm and sincere delivery.
Remarks regarding his performance emphasize the overwhelmingly positive feedback:
• “Well done, Nicholas. That is a three-year-old’s performance that is simply incredible.”
• “What a sweetheart. Nicholas, good job. The entire family is entertaining to watch and has musical talent.
• “This is the best thing ever! My heart and spirit are being filled to overflowing. Little ones, thank you!
• “This was what my soul needed.” Tell him that he made my day and performed a fantastic job.
Given his family’s history, it is not surprising that Nicholas has a musical gift. After playing on the promenade in Santa Monica and making an appearance on The Ellen Show at the age of ten, his sister Karolina became well-known and garnered millions of fans. The Protsenko family has delighted their followers on social media by sharing their kids’ musical journeys.
“These kids are phenomenal,” a fan wrote. I’ve seen their musical development—Karolina playing violin, Nicholas pretending to play guitar, and Leo pounding on toy drums. Nicholas now sings entire songs on key, while Leo plays the keyboard with ease. Even though he is just three, he can recall every word. It’s incredible!

At such a young age, Nicholas’s ability to sing a whole song with accompaniment is astounding. Videos of him singing on street corners, in churches, and at home demonstrate not only his skill but also his love of performing.
