A six-year-old autistic boy from the US has become an internet sensation with his cover version of Billy Joel's 1973 hit 'Piano Man,' The Daly Telegraph reports.

Ethan Walmark, who suffers from a form of autism that makes social interaction difficult, has also been blessed with a prodigious musical talent.

His talents were first spotted by his parents, Mike and Alison, at the age of four when he learnt to play the Beatles' 'I Will' on the piano by ear.

The couple have encouraged his talents ever since.
