Tingroom Radio—迪克兰•加尔布雷斯:成长的天使

 When Billy Gilman was getting famous all over the world, another genius singer sprung up in Britain as well. He was only ten in that year, younger than Billy, and stroke high wave in Europe with his debut¹ album Declan. He is Declan Galbraith who also involved in the Genius Book by holding the largest scale of chorus².

 

The grand chorus happened in Belfast tour concert .There the host company connected more than 80,000 children all over Britain and Ireland through telephone and network to make them sing with Delcan. The innocent voices were filled with purity³ and sounded like angles. 

 

Delcan was born in a village and lived with his grandfather who performed Irish traditional music in a pub. Delcan showed his talents rather early, at the age of 8, he won 16 champion titles within 14 months in competitions. This, of course, raised the attention of music producers and they soon signed the contract with the little genius.

 

But the media would never be kind to child stars and some even said he would end up with drugs and alcohol and his parents would finally get divorced. But it turns out the loving parents support their son and his career. Little Delcan expressed he wanted to take good care of his parents and buy him some toys and then leave the rest to the bank.

 

Voices would be changed usually when boys are getting 14 or 15. And it’s a headache for Delcan but fortunately his voice remained so at the age of 14, which helped him to make the album Thank You. But we can still feel changes in his vocals⁴ and he is getting closer to pop music and the theme turns to more mature. We have to say the little boy has grown up.

 

Though his voice has changed a lot and he has some problem singing some parts but his songs are still worth appreciating. Now it’s said he goes to college to finish his study and maybe he wouldn’t shown in TV or release new albums in these years but he would come to you with new style years later. He is worth our waiting.
