Multi-platinum music producer Amadeus went to see his old community group's talent show Thursday in Claremont Village.
His interest in music started while he was in the fourth grade in a Claremont Village building.
"This is where it all started for me...I’m getting emotional just thinking about it, like first time in the building since fourth grade," says Amadeus.

Now he's the drummer for R&B singer Trey Songz and a multi-platinum music producer in the music industry for 17 years.
Claremont Neighborhood Centers, Inc. hosted "Claremont's Got Talent" in the same center he grew up going to and had the show in his old school building.
Amadeus says his goal was to show the children at the center that anything can happen with a little determination and respect.
"I'm saying this to show you what it's like when you focus, do what you need to do in school, be respectful of your parents, your elders, and you work hard, I’ll say it again when you work hard," says Amadeus.
