8 years old: participated in some talent competitions and won 16 championships in just 14 months. His singing style and repertoire are far beyond his age, and he has been praised by ci writers Barry Mei Sen (the author who wrote The Last Waltz-The Last Waltz). Since then, it is reported that several record companies are competing to sign with him. Finally, EMI signed him for more than one million pounds and promised to issue three copies. The first record he recorded was a collection of Christmas songs, which included the famous songs of superstars such as Elvis Presley, elton john and Westlife. His cover of the theme song "Walking in the Air" of the anime snowman is not worse than those "old-timers" at all, attracting a lot of attention and being reported by major media.
10 years old: become the only source of income in the family, responsible for supporting a family of four. At the age of ten, he has many expectations for the future and hopes to have his own works. 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. " What he wants most is to take good care of his family and his parents don't have to go to work anymore; 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. His outstanding performance won the admiration of Barry Mei Sen (Berry Mei Sen), who wrote The Last Waltz and many other classic works. He not only acted as his producer, arranged music for him, but also wrote new songs for him himself. On October 29th, 2002/kloc-0, the first album "Declan" was released, which immediately caused a sensation and even spread all over the world with a song "Tell me why". In addition to Britain and Ireland, many European countries, including Germany, also invited him to sing, and even cappella "led" a huge adult choir to sing the gospel song "amazing grace", which was touching. Even simon cowell has heard his singing, and can't help but agree that this little guy has great potential and will definitely become a superstar in time.
14 years old: It took four years to release the second album "Thank you". The unique album has not yet begun to change its voice, and it still maintains its original high tone. Warner, the new record company, specially invited German producers, and all production will be completed in Germany. This is a big test for DEC.

Declan, who was predicted by the media to be addicted to drugs before 16 years old. Now, in addition to his angelic voice, he also shows the so-called "star temperament" that talent scouts are keen on, and more importantly, his simple and kind heart.
Introduction to Declan Gelebrace's latest album Thank you. Many fans who love young bel canto are eagerly looking forward to it. In 2002, Declan gelb, a young British talent who made a sensation in music with her first album Declan and Tell me why, finally released her second album Thank you. After a lapse of four years, this time he was snared by the German independent brand "Starwatch" and chose to start from Germany again.
The vast majority of male teenagers will start to change their voices when they are fourteen or fifteen years old. 1February 19 DG is obviously blessed, because his singing skills are still fresh and bright, but unlike other young singers, he seems to prefer more "over-aged" songs in the first album, and so does this album, so we hear that he compares "Xian Yi, Xian Yi, old and young" in some parts. It covers many works that did not belong to his time, such as The Love of My Life by Freddie Mercury, Night on White Satin by Moody Bruce, Tears in Heaven by eric clapton, The House of the Rising Sun by Bob Dylan, All Out of Love by Air Supply, R&; Female singer toni braxton's How Can Angels Break My Heart and Baby Face, etc.

Declan Gelebrais began to show his singing talent when he was 4 years old. He started to participate in some music competitions at the age of 8, and won the grand prize of 16 in 4 months. At the same time, it also won the appreciation of ci writers Barry Mei Sen (the author of "The Last Waltz-The Last Waltz"), and it was out of control from then on. The song "Walking in the Air" that we heard was recorded in 200 1 year when he was only 9 years old. It is said that several record companies are scrambling to sign a contract with him. In the end, EMI signed a contract with him for three years at a price of more than one million pounds and promised to release three records.
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 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 refined, and the range of songs she sings is extremely wide. He mastered the traditional Irish songs, from the popular "Angel" 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 green 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 were times when I was nervous, and that 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 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 boys except for his musical talent and a million-dollar contract. I like football, computer games and swimming. The room was plastered with posters. I also like 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?" On another occasion, Declan said in an interview that he dreamed of alton. Johnson invited him to a concert in alton, and the host asked him if he would accept the invitation if it came true. Declan said: "I think so, otherwise he might cry, so I'm not going to say' don't panic, I'll go' at the end."
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 professional stylist, a professional vocal teacher and an exclusive agent, and his own fan network ... It seems really exciting for a little boy who is still thinking about a remote-controlled car with dinosaurs at his bedside. Therefore, he doesn't have many friends except his cousin Joe.
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 become 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 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 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 surplus, he will buy himself some football and star cards. If there is, 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 2006, DEC signed a contract with Saban Entertainment, a well-known American entertainment company, from EMI, 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 man said, "No, what we should do is how to find a way to deal with it, not feel sorry for ourselves!"
Following the great success of Thank You in Germany, DEC released its third album You and Me in 2007, and now DEC's charming voice surprises us. Let's enjoy it! At the same time, I hope you will support Declan's tour in China in 2008. Let's expect the angel to come again!
