Take a look at his awesome drum cover of the track "Hot Right Now" by English disc jockey, DJ Fresh, featuring English singer, Rita Ora.
After seeing Hrisca-Munn for the first time, his biological mother suffered a nervous breakdown and sent him to live in an institution 35 miles away in the Romanian countryside. As an infant, he was given very little food and the prediction that he would only survive a few days.
However, he fought to stay alive and was adopted at 16 months old by Doreen and Ken Munn who brought him to live with them and their four daughters in England.

Hrisca-Munn's story does not end there and after overcoming a multitude of challenges and adversity, he became a student at Keble College of the University of Oxford and a self-taught bass player, guitarist and drummer.
"I don't let my physical disability stand in my way," Hrisca-Munn told The Telegraph. "I always find solutions to what I cannot do. I'm a fighter."
One of those "solutions" is the way in which Hrisca-Munn sets up his drum kit.
After a user on YouTube questioned why his drums are set up in the video as if his dominant side is right and his bass and hi-hat are set up as if his dominant side is left, the musician explained, "Because I play a normal right handed kit set up, but have an artificial right leg, so [I] use my (real) left leg on the bass drum for quicker beats."

On his YouTube channel, Hrisca-Munn has posted a diverse collection of drum covers from a variety of acts that include hip hop artist, Tinie Tempah, contemporary Christian artist, Matt Redman and Canada's own indie pop princess, Carly Rae Jepsen.
Remarks on his amazing videos include comments like, "You may be disabled at something, but it isn't drumming. Rock on, man!" And, "I can't express how inspiring you are to me. You got to do what you love no matter the hardships you may have to overcome in doing so."
