20 year old Romanian Cornell Hrisca-Munn was born without forearms and with a severely deformed leg. Adopted by Doreen Munn at the age of 14, he now lives in the UK where he studies history and philosophy at Keble College, Oxford.

He is also somewhat nifty on drums. Here’s a recent jam to DJ Fresh’s Hot Right Now.
