It's always inspiring when one shares their talents with the world and lets their passion shine. One gifted man took a bold risk when he played a forbidden piano at a local mall, letting his love for music speak louder than the rules.

Forbidden music to the ears

A TikTok user named Tebza MK Mcbasslyn shared a video on his account (@tebzamkmcbasslyn) of himself and his friends at the Mall of Africa. While there, his friend unhooked the rope of a stanchion securing a black piano.

The piano was secured for a reason, as a note on the bench read the following:

"We kindly request you refrain from playing the piano. Your understanding is appreciated. Centre Management."

However, the warning did not stop Tebza from playing beautiful melodies on the instrument.

The young man referred to the time spent playing as "stolen moments" and wrote in his post's caption:

"I apologise for breaking the rules. I couldn’t resist."
