It’s hard to believe a 3-year-old could even memorize the National Anthem, let alone sing it for a live audience of over 6,000 people. Drake Grillo isn’t just any toddler, watch as he bravely nails the classic song and blows the audience away.

The young singer doesn’t skip a beat, he goes through the song word for word and the audience is captivated

This has to be the cutest version of the National Anthem out there, the 3-year-old hasn’t quite got his “r’s” down yet, which adds an extra layer of adorable to the performance.

He is way beyond his years, some adult singers can’t even handle the pressure, but Drake sings the song with ease

We’ve all seen the Star-Spangled banner mess-ups, not this 3-year-old, he handles the pressure like a true champion. Drake even knows to take a big breath in the middle of the song, that’s just natural instinct!

You could hear a pin drop the whole time he’s singing, people can’t take their eyes off of the impressive toddler. You could see him sing this 100 times and it would never get old, it’s just so heart-warming.

Naturally, the 3-year-old mispronounces some of the more difficult words, but that makes it even more adorable

Of course words like “gleaming” or “perilous,” were a bit more complicated for Drake to pronounce, but he does his best. He pretty much just learned how to talk after all, so it’s extremely impressive none the less.
