Autistic. Musical. Playing by ear.
Meet Raees.

Meet Raees
A love of music that grew over time
Raees is autistic, and music has become an important part of how he expresses himself.
His interest began at home. His family noticed that he listened closely to songs and tried to find the melodies on the keyboard. With encouragement from his family, guidance from his teacher, and many hours of practice, his interest slowly developed into something he could share with others.
Today, Raees performs songs he enjoys, from Malaysian favourites to international music. Each performance reflects his listening, patience, memory, and willingness to keep practising until the music feels right to him.
His journey is not about being the best. It is about discovering something he loves and being given the time, support, and opportunity to develop it.
“Every autistic child has their own way of shining. Our journey taught us that acceptance opens the door to understanding them, discovering their strengths, celebrating their differences, and cherishing the unique joy they bring into our lives.”

Watch Raees Play
Raees learns through listening. He spends time exploring each melody at the piano, repeating different parts and gradually putting the song together.
