The feels
F?lix, who is totally blind, belted out his performance while hanging out in pajamas at at his summer camp last week. The camp is run by the Quebec Foundation for the Blind, and the group's Sarah Rouleau says music has given F?lix a rare outlet.
"He doesn't speak a lot, he has difficulty to interact with others," Rouleau says. "One day he started to make rhythm, he started to make drumming rhythms, and another day he just started to sing a song completely. So we were really surprised because he's someone who doesn't speak a lot, but he expresses himself through music."
F?lix got his start at 6 years old, when he got his first guitar. Rouleau says he taught himself how to play by listening to the radio and was soon shocking his parents with his talent. "One day his mother heard him playing the blues and she thought it was the radio," Rouleau says. "But she discovered that it was F?lix. So she was really surprised because blues is not the favorite music of young boys, usually."
F?lix has taken to bringing his guitar to camp and singing around the fire, where counselors have started taking impromptu videos. Rouleau wants people to know that F?lix is the real deal: "F?lix plays often in our day camp and I personally saw him play guitar and sing, so no, it's not fake. I personally filmed him so I saw him with my eyes a lot of times."
The YouTube video has now been watched about 35,000 times and shared on Facebook thousands of times. F?lix was even invited to play at a blues festival in Montreal. He says he loves blues artists Robert Johnson, Stromae and Bernard Adamus
And he doesn't have a problem being famous, he says. Rouleau remembers that when she and another counselor paid a visit to F?lix's home to tell him about all of his Internet fans, he was excited. "His reaction was really cute," she says, "He said 'Tabarouette!'" Oh yeah good, wow!
Sarah says F?lix's success may be rubbing off on other blind children at the camp. She thinks his songs encourage other children to have a little more confidence in their own talents. As F?lix might say: That's really good. Wow!
