Does anyone know what happened to Declan Galbraith?

Answer 1

Declan is being hailed as a ‘once in a lifetime’ phenomenal talent and a rising media star.

The control and range of his voice, as well as his ability to interpret and adapt material of differing genres, are the cornerstones of his unique talent. All this for a 14 year old boy with teen idol looks.

Declan Galbraith and his family live in the UK, in Hoo, a village near Rochester, Kent.

The foundation for Declan’s unique style and distinctive voice can be traced back to his early childhood. He would often accompany his late grandfather to local folk concerts he was playing in and Declan would sit for hours just watching and listening. Declan says he can remember singing when just 2 years old and it wasn’t long before his family and friends realized he had a very special gift.

At the tender age of 8, he started entering local talent competitions and won sixteen titles in just fourteen months. He was spotted by one of the major recording companies at one of these talent competitions and before long he was signed as a recording artist.

His first recording was a version of ‘Walking in the Air’,which was released on a special Christmas Hits album which also featured Westlife, Elton John and Elvis Presley among many others.

In a short period of time, Declan had become a well-known celebrity and has appeared in numerous television programs, newspapers and radio shows all over the UK and Ireland. Included among some of his most memorable appearances are, the Queen’s Jubilee at St Paul’s Cathedral, when he sang ‘Amazing Grace’ accompanied by the St Paul’s choir and an unforgettable experience when singing in front of more than 22,000 people at an Elton John concert.

To his growing list of credits is a Guinness World Record where in Belfast during a 2002 tour of Young Voices, he was simultaneously linked with more than 80,000 children from all over the country who accompanied him in achieving the world’s largest choral singalong. The throngs of screaming girls were a hint of things to come.

Declan’s next big career move was a signing to media mogul Haim Saban’s Saban Music Group, headed by Ron Kenan, who recognized Declan’s unique talent.

Two stunningly received impromptu appearances on Germany’s biggest TV shows led German media giant Pro7/Sat1 Media to bring Declan to its new record label Starwatch, distributed by Warner Bros. In cooperation with multi-platinum German uber-producer Ully Jonas, the resulting album is scheduled for release later this year.

At the age of 14, Declan is already a seasoned entertainer, a one of a kind prodigy, with boyish good looks embellished by the blossom of a young teen heartthrob.
