Hansen was born in Monterey Park, California on June 26, 2007 (he’s currently 11 years old.) His mother is from Beijing, and Hansen lived in Beijing, China with his grandparents for a year at 3 years old, so he speaks Mandarin fluently, and has now added German to his languages as a student at the German International School in Beaverton, Oregon.
Hansen’s dad exposed him to music at a very young age. At 5 ½ years old, Hansen began taking piano lessons. Amongst his natural musical gifts Hansen has perfect pitch - he can name any note on the piano when played for him without looking at the keyboard.
