Even as a pyjama-clad infant, this internationally successful singer suggested he was destined for the stage.
Armed with a child-friendly guitar, an amp and a height-appropriate microphone, the star-in-the-making is seen entertaining family members at home in Doncaster.
It would be the better part of two decades before his emergence as one of Britain's biggest selling rock acts with the 2018 release of debut album, 21st Century Liability.
Now four albums into his career, this singer has enjoyed enormous success across the United Kingdom, mainland Europe and the United States - where he won a Grammy Award on Sunday evening.
Away from the stage he's enjoyed a string of high-profile romances, notably relationships with American singer Halsey and singer and actress Jesse Jo Stark, the goddaughter of pop icon Cher.
But who is this working class lad done good?

That's right - it's Yungblud!
The singer, born Dominic Harrison, shared the throwback with Instagram followers shortly after attending the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday evening.
Captioning the shot, he wrote: 'If you told this little sh*t one day he’d be goin to the Grammys with three nominations in rock he’d probably tell you to f**k off but alas he’s goin. wild. thankyou for this insane journey family. rock n roll.' [sic]
The star, 28, was in good spirits after winning Best Rock Performance for his live rendition of Black Sabbath's Changes, recorded during Ozzy Osbourne's farewell concert in Birmingham last year.
He was seen partying with Lady Gaga and Kelly Osbourne, with whom he developed a friendship after growing close to her late father.
Rocker Yungblud had been nominated for three awards, Rock Album, Rock Song and Rock Performance.
Taking to the mic during the premiere ceremony which dished out awards ahead of the main event, Yungblud paid tribute to 'idol' Ozzy in a foul-mouthed speech.
He said: 'To grow up loving an idol , who helps you figure out your identity, not only as a musician, but also a man, is something I really grateful for'.

'But to then get to know them and honour them at their final show and receive this [his award] is something I am struggling to comprehend, we f*****g love you Ozzy'.
A tearful Sharon Osbourne watched on as he continued: 'The last time I saw Ozzy Osbourne, he asked me if there was anything he could do for me, and that the "music was enough"'.
He added: 'God bless Ozzy Osbourne and god bless f*****g rock music!'
The couple separated for five months before reuniting last August, with Yungblud previously discussing their split during an appearance on the We Need To Talk podcast.
He said 'It was a "me" problem. Everything is a "me" problem. I was drowning, and I couldn't figure out why. I've literally got a tattoo of her under my arm...

'I don't know what it is. We needed space, we needed time, and she's giving me that, because she truly gets me. I needed to look at myself in the mirror, on my own for a while.'
He added: 'She's probably the most incredible person I have ever met and she's my best friend and I feel so lucky to be in her orbit...
'I got to talk this through with her and she understood and she needed a moment. We talk every Sunday. Ultimately, I think in my life, all roads lead to her because I love her. I never loved anything like I love her...
'I love her as everything. And I love her as if I'd love water. I need it, you know. I think I'd never experience love like it — when you could be that honest with another human being, even in times when we're not technically together.'
