Alexey Romanov has become an internet sensation after footage was posted showing him at work.

Now he's looking forward to a professional career.

Alexey Romanov from the city of Kazan, central Russia, was born without fingers on his hands and toes on one foot.

This led to him being abandoned by his parents at birth.

He was then raised in a local orphanage – but all the while he wished he could play the piano.

And then one day he gave it a go.

"For a long time I only thought about it but in the end I decided to try to play.

"At first I played the simplest things such as Jingle Bells but now I can learn some more serious works.

"It's not professional and only three weeks ago I started to study musical notation and everything else."

His YouTube video where he plays a piece from the Love-and-Vampires Twilight movie has gone viral.
