At the tender age of 8, he was honoured by the Arc Duke and Arc Duchess of Austria with The Flame of Peace Award, an honour reserved for members of the diplomatic corp, and leaders who have used their position(s) to foster global peace and unity at a ceremony that drew the attendance of over 70 artists from all over the world at Vienna, Austria.
