Kandi Burruss' 7-Year-Old Son, Ace, Shows Off His Musical Talent (VIDEO)
The RHOA son treated fans to an adorable piano rendition of "Mary Had a Little Lamb."
There’s no doubt that Ace Tucker has caught the entertainment bug.
As the child of The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Kandi Burruss, the 7-year-old boy has become quite familiar and comfortable with the spotlight. In addition to growing up in front of the cameras, Ace has also received the rare opportunity to pursue a wide range of creative interests — just like his Grammy-winning mom. We’ve seen the youngster step into the music studio, star in national TV ads, and launch a successful YouTube channel with the help of Kandi and his dad, Todd Tucker.
While it’s clear Ace has no trouble keeping busy, the little man has found the time to take up piano lessons. And he’s already learned a time-honored tune. We know: Is there anything he can’t do?
Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker's son, Ace, flexes his piano skills
On Friday, September 1, Todd took to Instagram to showcase his son’s adorable rendition of “Mary Had a Little Lamb.”
“All right, a little piano in the morning from my boy, Ace to the boogie,” said Todd, who has also worked in entertainment since the 1990s. “What are you playing today? Tell the people what you’re playing.”
“I am playing ‘Mary Had a Little Lamb,’” Ace said before returning his eyes to the sheet music. “OK, here we go. 3-2-1.”
Ace proceeded to play the children's classic while focusing on the piano book and his finger placement. Although he made a few minor mistakes at the beginning, he finished the tune on a strong note after receiving some encouraging words from his dad.
“Pretty good! Good job, dude,” Todd said. “Hey, ‘Mary Had a Little Lamb.’ Let’s go! Good morning. Let’s get it!”
Kandi Burruss reflects on Ace's burgeoning acting career
While Ace is experienced in various artistic fields, it's become increasingly clear that acting is his biggest passion.
Kandi spoke about her son’s creative talents in a recent interview that was shared by BravoTV.com. The sit-down, which featured Ace by Kandi's side, highlighted some of her son's interests and extracurricular activities, such as learning Spanish and Chinese. At one point during the interview, an RHOA producer asked the young man to show off his acting skills and imitate Kandi. Ace let out a chuckle and immediately dove into the performance, which drew a good laugh from his mom.
“I love the fact that Ace is really being able to pursue his acting career,” Kandi said, “because he’s always questions… ‘What can I do to have a career and be famous’ and all of these things. And now he’s getting to do what he wants to do.”
Kandi then confirmed Ace has had multiple auditions, which landed him roles in two movies and two TV shows; however, she couldn’t provide any more details about the projects.
“He has a couple of series that are coming out that we can’t announce,” she said. “And I can’t wait till we can.”
