Macomb’s Drumming Prodigy Sets a Guinness World Record
At just 7 years old, Macomb Township’s Julian Pavone has already made a huge mark in the world of music. After appearing on over 150 television programs—including “Good Morning America,” “Inside Edition,” and even “The Oprah Winfrey Show” twice—Julian recently achieved official recognition as the youngest professional drummer by Guinness World Records.
Julian secured the title by meeting rigorous criteria: performing on a commercially released recording and completing at least 20 concerts of 45 minutes or more—all before reaching 6 years old. He beat the previous record holder, Japan’s Tiger Onitsuka, by almost four years. Guinness representatives recently visited his home to celebrate and document the milestone.
Despite his fame, Julian remains a typical young boy who loves soccer, enjoys playing video games on his Wii, and is quick to brag about his baseball skills. His musical journey, however, started unusually early—striking his first drums at just 3 months old. With the guidance and management of his father, Bernie Pavone, Julian is not only working on his second album but also preparing to launch a branded snack bar, “Julian’s Go Bar.”
It’s clear that while Julian’s talent and ambition are extraordinary, he hasn’t lost the playful spirit of a 7-year-old enjoying the ride.
