Declan Galbraith began to show his singing talent at the age of four. At the age of eight, he began to participate in some music competitions and won 16 grand prizes in 14 months. At the same time, he also won the appreciation of ci writers Barry Mason (the author who wrote the Last Waltz- the last waltz), and it was out of control from then on. The "Walking In The Air" we heard was recorded in 21, when he was only 9 years old. It is said that several record companies rushed to sign with him. In the end, EMI signed him for three years for more than one million pounds and promised to release three records.

Everyone believes that this little boy's musical talent and understanding and love for Irish traditional music come from his grandfather Ben. It's only been about six weeks, and Ben is taking care of him. Ben often plays the six-hole flute and Irish drum in the bar and often takes him with him. Declan has been exposed to it since he was a child. Grandfather died in 1996, but Declan couldn't forget him. His first album Declan was dedicated to his grandfather.

Declan's voice is clear and free from vulgarity, and the range of singing songs is extremely wide. He has a good grasp of traditional Irish songs, from the popular "Angels" to "Carrickfergus". But this little child star's wish is that one day he can stop covering other people's songs and have a few songs belonging to Declan Galbraith.

In addition to the angelic voice, Declan has shown the so-called "star temperament" that scouts are keen on at an early age-a soft dark hair, thick eyelashes, bright and clear blue eyes, a childlike and infectious smile, and full of self-confidence. More importantly, he never gets stage fright, and he is extremely excited every time he goes on stage. It should be said that there was also a nervousness, which was at the performance of singing for the Queen in St. Paul's Cathedral. John Carver, who made MTV for Robbie Williams and Phil Collins, said with confidence, "Declan is destined to be a superstar, not only because of his superb voice, but also because of his excellent personality. He is very smart."

Declan is no different from other boys except for his musical talent and a million-dollar contract behind him. I like football, computer games and swimming. The room is covered with posters. I also like Robbie Williams, Westlife and Harry Potter. He was also worried that the signature was not fast enough until he followed his father's advice and signed with "Dec". He can't help but want to escape from the stool during the interview. Of course, he will ask politely in advance, "Can I play football soon?" On another occasion, Declan said in an interview that he dreamed that Alton.Johnson invited him to attend Alton's concert, and the host asked him if he would accept the invitation if it came true. Declan said, "I think so, or he might cry, so I'm not going to say' Don't panic, I'll go' in the end."

Declan participated in the promotion of the album while attending school. He has a special tutor to ensure that his absence from class will not affect his studies; He has a professional stylist, a professional vocal instructor and an exclusive agent, and his own fan network ... This seems to be really exciting for a little boy who is still thinking about the remote control car with dinosaurs at his bedside. Therefore, he doesn't have many friends except his cousin Joe.

British media are usually not too polite to children who enjoy fame too early. When Declan released his first album in 22, some media predicted that before he was 16, he would drink too much without taking drugs, and most of his parents would have divorced before then. Declan's parents are confident that they will not be radical parents, and they just need to support Declan to do what he likes. Of course, they also expressed their concern. It is really not a good thing that such a small child has already obtained financial security without worrying about installment payment like ordinary people.

In fact, Declan is the only source of income for this family of four (parents and sister). My mother left her job after the baby was born, and my father, who is an electrician, has also left his job to accompany Declan all the way. For the million-dollar contract that many adult singers envy, Declan said, "Actually, I can't get so much. 1 million is all the money that the company promised to invest in me. But I don't care, I just like singing. " In a confession, Declan also said that what he wants most is to take care of his family and his parents will never have to go to work again. If he has money, he will buy a new car for his father. If there is any surplus, he will buy himself some football and star cards. If there is more, he will deposit it in the bank. It is enough to see that he is a lovely and simple child.

after four years of busy performances, in 26, DEC signed a contract from EMI to Saban Entertainment, a well-known American entertainment company, and released the album Thank you that year. Warner specially invited German producers, and all productions will be completed in Germany, and this time the production lineup is stronger. This is a big test for DEC, but in a recent TV interview, the 14-year-old said, "No, what we should do is how to find a way to deal with it, not feel sorry for ourselves!"

has released the third solo album "YOU AND ME" and has held a concert tour in China. DEC's wish is that all children in the world can get rid of hunger, fear and illness. Personally, he doesn't really have a great dream at present, but he hopes to do everything well and help take care of his family. Declan, who was predicted by the media that before he was 16 years old, he would drink too much without taking drugs. Now, in addition to his angelic voice, he also shows the so-called "star temperament" that scouts are keen on, and more importantly, his simple and kind heart. Let us continue to love and support declan!

Introduction to released albums

[ Edit this paragraph ]

1. Introduction to DECLAN album:

In the history of popular music in the United States, there were several impressive young singers, such as Michael Jackson and Donny Osmond in the 197s. In fact, in Europe, several equally outstanding young singers have emerged one after another, among which Heintje in the 196s and Aled Jones in the 198s are the most representative. In fact, in 22, just as Billy Gilman was popular all over the world, another boy named Declan Galbraith (hereinafter referred to as DEC) appeared in Britain, and he was younger than Billy Gilman, only ten years old at that time. Not only did he make a sensation in Europe with his debut album Declan, He also created another Guinness World Record: when he toured Belfast, the organizer let more than 8, children sing with him in every corner of Britain and Ireland through telephone and internet connection, which became the largest chorus in the world.

DEC, praised by the British media as a "once-in-a-lifetime singing wizard", was born in a small village in Kent, England on December 19th, 1991. His father came from Scotland and his mother came from Ireland. He grew up with his grandfather who performed Irish traditional music in a pub, and he showed amazing talent very early. When he was only about two years old, he began to like singing, and he sang in a good way. At the age of eight, he began to take part in some local talent competitions. In just 14 months, he won 16 championships, which also aroused great interest in the record industry. Before long, he got a record contract. The first record he recorded was a compilation of Christmas songs, which included famous songs of superstars such as Elvis Presley, Elton John and Westlife. His cover of the theme song "Walking in the Air" of the cartoon "Snowman" was no worse than those of the "old-timers", which attracted a lot of attention and was reported by major media, covering almost all TV and radio programs. When the host asked him what he liked on weekdays, his answer was almost eye-popping, because besides football, swimming and video games, his favorite music actually included "Led Zeppelin" and "Black Sabbath"! It's no wonder that at a young age, his singing style and repertoire are far beyond his age.

In order to win DEC's contract, the record company made a promise of 1 million pounds, which made him the only source of income for his family and was responsible for supporting a family of four. My father, who used to be a worker, especially quit his job to accompany him to perform everywhere. He once sang "Amazing Grace" with the choir of St. Paul's Church at the Queen of England's celebration concert, and it was an unforgettable experience for him to be invited to Elton John's concert and perform in front of a large audience. Although he is ten years old, he already has many expectations for the future. He doesn't want to sing other people's songs all the time, and he really wants to own his own works. His outstanding performance won the appreciation of Barry Mason (Berry Mei Sen), who once wrote "The Last Waltz" and many other classics. He not only acted as his producer, arranged music for him, but also personally wrote new songs for him. On October 29th, 22, DEC's debut album "Declan" was released, which immediately caused a sensation. In addition to Britain and Ireland, many European countries, including Germany, also invited him to sing. He showed a high degree of skill. In the album, he even "led" a huge adult choir by cappella and sang the gospel song "Amazing Grace", which was touching.

In this album, DEC always sang fourteen songs, including original works, popular classics covered, and traditional folk songs. Of course, he brought fresh interpretations. At the beginning of the album, he first sang the famous Irish songs "Danny Boy" and "Carrickfergus". His immature and loud voice was very pleasing and made us understand that he was an Irish child. Then, he sang John Lennon's immortal classic "Imagine", which made his desire to pray for world peace moving. This also reminds us that Billy Gilman, who debuted earlier than him, also has the same characteristics. They all sang the children's flexible demands for a better world with pure songs like angels. Compared with some teenagers who always take to the streets and swear, they are really too much to love. When we listen to DEC's songs, we can't help but think of Michael Jackson more than 3 years ago. Sure enough, he immediately brought Michael Jackson's classic song "I'll Be There", which was irresistible.

If we pay close attention to the young singers who have been loved by the public from the past to the present, we will find that apart from world peace, friendship and love are also their common themes. In this album of DEC, there is also this same appeal. The original works "It All Begins With Love" and "Your Friend" echo such a theme through popular arrangement styles. The former is relatively soft, while the latter has a relatively bright rhythm, which brings quite comfortable changes. Then, he sang the famous song "Love Can Build a Bridge", the last album of "The Judd" before the dissolution of her mother and daughter. This work was written by the country singer Paul Overstreet and Naomi Judd, the mother of "The Judd", which vividly told us that love can build a bridge between people.

The following "Mama Said" and "Till the Day We Meet Again" are both original works, which can also be said to be songs close to "children", and they have a proper effect under DEC's singing. After the cantata "Amazing Grace", he brought "Circles in the Sand", which was also quite pleasant under the arrangement with strong pop flavor. Then, we heard the famous song "Angels" written by Robbie Williams and his former creative partner Guy Chambers***. Although the lyrics are a bit "over-aged", DEC brings another different feeling to this song with a bright and wide range. It is said that even Simon Cowell has heard his singing.
