Mabou Loiseau is a 17-year-old girl from Queens, New York, who has been astonishing the world with her extraordinary talents since she was a toddler. She can speak eight languages, play eight musical instruments, and do college-level algebra. She is also a singer, dancer, painter, and piano teacher.
Mabou is one of the rare child prodigies who have excelled in multiple domains of learning. She was born with a gift for languages and music, and her parents nurtured her potential by exposing her to different cultures and tutors. Her parents are immigrants from Haiti who came to the United States 15 years ago. Her mother, Esther Loiseau, is a piano teacher who taught French at an American school before leaving Haiti. Her father, Mario Loiseau, works two jobs, including long hours as a parking lot attendant in Manhattan, to pay for Mabou’s education.
By the age of eight, Mabou could speak English, French, Creole, Spanish, Arabic, Mandarin, Russian, and American Sign Language. She could also play the piano, harp, violin, guitar, clarinet, drums, and flute. She started giving piano lessons when she was eight years old and has performed in various venues and events. She also sings in different genres and languages and has a YouTube channel where she showcases her skills.
Mabou is not only talented but also ambitious. She says that in the future she wants to be a lawyer, a brain surgeon, and a singer. She is also interested in dancing, painting, ice skating, and swimming. She is constantly learning new things and challenging herself.
Mabou Loiseau is an inspiration for anyone who wants to pursue their dreams and passions. She is a living proof that with hard work, dedication, and support, anything is possible.
