Lockard [appeared](http://www.ew.com/article/2009/07/23/americas-got-talent-recap-boyle "undefined") on _America’s Got Talent_ with his brother, Anthony, back in 2009, and has [posted](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClAOb8duv85-67gK4FRFpRQ "undefined") several other piano arrangements on his YouTube channel. The cantina theme video is the first to feature his son, who clearly has no problem keeping up with the fast-paced tune.
