Declan Galbraith

Declan Galbraith is an English singer of Scottish and Irish origin. He was born in 1991 in Kent and live with his family in Hoo, a village near Rochester, Kent. His grandfather had a band and played several instruments which inspired Declan to become a musician.

His first appearance in public was at the age of 7 which shows that he had this ability since he was a boy. It was soon after this, when he started entering local talent shows and within a year he had won 15 competitions and more than £1000.

Nowadays, Declan Galbraith is known for the control of his voice, as well as his ability to interpret. Moreover, his youth make him more special as there are not many singers of his age able to sing as well as him.

About his personality: he is not shy at all. Many young people (who doesn't know anything about music) says that he sings like a girl but he has never been affected by this type of comments because people who know a minimum of music realised since the first moment they listen to him that he sings like an angel.
Declan loves Elvis Presley and Elton John. All this means one important thing about Declan’s personality which is that he sings many known songs because of his admiration for those singers.

He has done, as I said before, many different versions of famous songs and singers like for example : " Tears in heaven" by Eric Clapton, "Nights in white satin" by The Moody Blues, "An angel" sung by the Kelly Family (one of his favourite songs which was included in his first album "Thank you") and so on.

He has recently started learning to play the piano and guitar, and writing his own songs like "You and me" which is a bit different from the others because it combines country and gives it a more modern sound and Declan didn't use to sing this kind of music so he was very pleased with this new album.

I think I've written the most important things to know a bit more about Declan Galbraith.


Here you have one of his favourite songs which is wonderful. You will be impressed on the minute 2:43 when he raises his voice with an unbelievable control. If you know a bit about music, you will see it..




Declan Galbraith is not very known in Spain but personally, I think he sings wonderfully and recommend everybody to listen to him.
In this video (and others), Declan shows the way he feels the music which makes us deduce that he is a very sensitive and delicate boy or seems to be.
In my opinion, he is a very good artist who deserves to succeed in his career as a singer but even if doesn’t succeed now, he has a long way ahead because he’s only 16 years so I’m sure he will succeed one day or another.
