DJ Steve Aoki gifted a piano to a six-year old boy after inviting him and his family to his Las Vegas mansion.

Aoki thinks he found something special in the boy named Jamar A.K.A. DJ Masterpiece.

The electronic dance music star invited Jamar and his family to his home in Las Vegas that was set up through an organisation that grants wishes to kids aged three to 18 who are battling life-threatening illnesses, reports dailymail.co.uk.

During their day together, Aoki was so impressed with his passion for music that he decided to buy him his own piano and music lessons.

"He's a little star actually. He's a talented kid I can tell," the California native said when asked about their encounter by a TMZ photographer at an airport.

"He jumped right on my piano, I didn't even direct him and I didn't tell him to do it. That was the first thing he went too."
