Neil Nayyar

Neil Nayyar is an Indian American musician and instrumentalist. Currently, he holds two world records and has mastered 107 musical instruments and is wowing crowds with his variety of world music stylings. His mother Sukhbinder Kaur is a nurse while his father, Rajan Nayyar is in the IT sector. He is also a Black Belt in Martial Arts (Kung Fu) and also loves to sing and take lessons regularly. His parents recognized his natural abilities when he began playing a drum set at only five years of age. Neil quickly moved on from the drums to mastering both the piano and the guitar. Soon after this accomplishment, the young musician was then inspired by a story about a gentleman who was deemed a "multi-instrumentalist" because of his ability to play twenty-three instruments. Neil has been honored with the Assist Foundation's World Record for his ability to play 107 musical instruments. Given his achievements in the music scene and his abilities, one would be forgiven for thinking that Neil is approaching his mid-life but would be surprised to learn that he has just entered his teenage life. While some musicians have mastered a few instruments Neil has broken all the records. At the age of twelve years, he broke the record that had been set by a twenty-seven years old instrumentalist to play 44 instruments. One year later, he almost tripled the number of instruments that he could play when the number moved to 107 settings, a record which most people think would be hard to beat by anybody who dares challenge the prowess of this young artist.
