Nope, he's 6'8". I saw this a week or so ago and thought it was the coolest. This is just one of his acts. He has a regular band as well and also creates music for some Cartoon Network shows among others. I wrote him on his Facebook page and he got back to me right away, signing off with "Keep weepin..."
