In a moment that captivated audiences across Australia, Calvin delivered a stunning piano performance at Southern Cross Station during Episode 2 of ABC’s The Piano, which aired in May 2025 and the TV series concluding just last month.
His electrofying performance of Taylor Swift’s Love Story earned a standing ovation from the live crowd and resonated with 1.2 million viewers watching from home.
Hosted by the beloved Amanda Keller, “The Piano” celebrates the raw, unfiltered talent of everyday musicians performing in public spaces.
As Calvin took his seat at the piano, two secret judges — legendary musician Harry Connick Jr. and acclaimed classical pianist Andrea Lam — watched on, searching for a performer with that rare spark of brilliance.
Calvin’s performance was nothing short of mesmerising, leaving both the judges and the audience spellbound and Amanda Kellar saying “Wow, Calvin!” on several occassions.
Reflecting on the moment, Calvin shared, “Music is my way of telling a story—of creating something that speaks beyond words. To see that connection with so many people is truly humbling.”
With his unforgettable performance, Calvin has cemented himself as an artist to watch.
