Everyone thinks that this little boy's musical talent and understanding and love for Irish traditional music come from his grandfather Ben. It's only been six weeks, and Ben is taking care of him. Ben Jing often plays six-hole flute and Irish drum in bars and often takes him with him. Declan was exposed from an early age; 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 refined, and the range of songs she sings is extremely wide. He knows all about traditional Irish songs, from pop angels to carrickfergus. But the 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 Gelebrais.
In addition to the angelic voice, Declan has shown the so-called "star temperament" that scouts are keen on since childhood-a soft black hair, thick eyelashes, bright and clear blue eyes, a childlike and infectious smile, and full of 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 is also a kind of nervousness, that is, watching the performance of the Queen's Amnesty in St. Paul's Cathedral. John carver, who made MTV for robbie williams and phil collins, said confidently, "Declan is destined to become a superstar, not only because of his superb voice, but also because of his excellent personality. He is very clever. "
Declan is no different from other 12-year-old boys except for his musical talent and millions of contracts behind him. I like football, computer games and swimming. The room was plastered with posters, football, robbie williams, Westlife and Harry Potter. He also worried that the signature was not fast enough until he followed his father's suggestion and signed with "Dec". He couldn't help but want to escape from the stool during the interview. Of course, he will ask politely in advance, "Can I play football quickly?" His favorite singers include Carole King, Foley, Christy Moore, led zeppelin, robbie williams and Westlife.
Declan participated in the promotion of the album when he was at school. He has a special tutor to ensure that his absence from class will not affect his study; He has a special stylist to order Armani for him, take him to Tony and Guy's shop to have his hair done, a special vocal teacher and agent, and his song club. For a little boy who still has a dinosaur at his bedside and is still thinking about the remote control car, it seems that he is really excited.
The British media are usually not very polite to children who become famous prematurely. When Declan released his first album in 2002, some media predicted that he would drink and not take drugs before 16 years old, and most of his parents had divorced before that. Declan's parents are confident that they will not be radical parents. They just need to support Declan to do what he likes. Of course, they also expressed their concerns. It's really not a good thing that such a young child has financial security and doesn't have to worry about installment payment like ordinary people.
In fact, Declan is already the only source of income for this family of four (parents and 7-year-old sister). My mother left her job after the baby was born, and my father, who was an electrician, also left his job and stayed with Declan all the way. For the million-dollar contract envied by many adult singers, Declan said, "In fact, I can't get that much. 654.38+00,000 is all the funds 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 wanted most was to take care of his family and his parents would never have to go to work again. If he had money, he would buy a new car for his father. If there is any left, buy yourself some football star cards; If there is more, deposit it in the bank. Very cute and simple child.
