This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. David Hermlin on his second home Kenya and Fred Okedo, who was a friend of the family. Find out more via http://www.tedxberlin.de David Hermlin was born on 21st August 2000 in Berlin Germany. At the age of three years, David began developing interest in playing the drums, so he began teaching himself how to play the drums going around drumming everywhere and on anything typically as a three year old would do. David kept growing day by day in his talent being natured by his mother and father and performing to multitudes of people both in Germany and other countries including Italy, Switzerland and the USA. As the years passed by, David began developing interest in dance. At the age of nine years, he caught the eyes of the makers of Friedrichstadtpalast – Berlin. Due to his exceptional performance, David found himself the soloist of all the performances which included singing, dancing and acting. He still does this to date. Having a Kenyan mother, Joyce Hermlin, David has been spending much of his time in Kenya – owing to the fact that they own a home in the Thumaita village of Kirinyaga District that is on the slopes of Mt. Kenya. In time he grew interest in singing something about his maternal homeland. „Perfect Paradise“ is the first song that he has worked on with Dr. Eddie, a well-knwon producer and song writer. It is about the way he would love to see the country be like in contrary to what he sees and that is people living in poverty and only a few of them living in paradise which makes it an imperfect paradise. David is dreaming of becoming an international performer and is working hard to make his dream come true. About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
