Armless Chinese pianist Liu Wei, who plays the piano with his toes, is set to take his unique skill on a world tour.


Beijing-born Liu lost both arms at age of ten when he was electrocuted during a game of hide-and-seek.


Liu began playing piano five years ago, often practicing for seven hours a day, training his toes to tickle the ivories and shot to fame as a contestant on China's Got Talent.


Although he still needs help getting dressed and eating, he's quite capable of doing things like playing video games on his Ipad.


Liu, who played his own composition to a large crowd in Beijing before departing China, has signed a record deal signed with Freemantle Media and Sony Music.


His global tour includes stops in the US, Austria, Hong Kong and the UK.
