Claiming that the news about him throwing tantrums after being eliminated from "Australia’s Got Talent" are blown out of proportion, 17-year-old self-taught pianist Chooka Parker vehemently denies such claims and now seeking for apology from the host who made the claims.

According to PopSugar.com, AGT’s host Grant Denyer told Sunrise that after the names of the finalists were announced, the teen contestant apparently “wrapped a jumper around his hand and started punching the walls and windows of the production office."

Telling his side of the story to "Today Tonight," the teen who debuted as a piano prodigy on the reality show admitted that he indeed repeatedly banged on the window wall of one of the production offices.

He clarified however, that he did so not as a reaction to being eliminated from the contest but the manner in which his performance was presented. Therefore his ire, he added, was targeted to no one but the show’s editor who worked on his segment.

“It was the editor’s window I bashed on," he said. "I didn’t actually damage anything though, Sorry about that, Mr. Editor.”

Explaining why he punched on the editor’s window, Parker described during the interview how disappointed he was when his performance was edited giving what he felt was more than the other contestants’ act who also run overtime.

In his words Parker noted that the bashing was entirely “completely different matter”, saying “With my music, it’s like an emotional journey, so you need to feel it from the start to end, but they cut out an important piece from my song – they edited the key change, and it pretty much ruined my song."
