Darrius Simmons

17-year-old Darrius Simmons was born with two fingers on his right hand while having only one finger on his left hand.

Simmons is a self-taught piano player and composes his own music.

Still honing his craft, he has learned how to play the trombone. Simmons says, “I want to be an inspiration for people. That’s what I want to do when I get older. To prove you can do things when you put your mind to it. That’s really my main goal. To be an inspiration to people.”
