The young boy from Red Lion, Victoria, Australia is a self-taught pianist. When he explained that he was going to make up his performance, the judges seemed skeptical.

He said, “I’m just going to play the piano. I’m going to make it up on the spot.”

Naturally, Parker was thrilled and flashed a wide grin on his face.

Unfortunately, he did not make it through the entire competition. His exit became quite controversial as well since he reportedly threw a tantrum.

The teenager was allegedly looking for someone to blame, and he supposedly punched windows and kicked some chairs.

It got to a point where the studio security warned him about his actions, but the tension died down after he finally left with his parents.
