Declan Galbraith今年12岁,4岁开始展露歌唱天赋;8岁那年,他开始参加一些音乐比赛,并在14个月中曾经获得16个大奖。他获得了词作家Barry Mason(写过Last Waltz-最后的华尔兹的作者)的欣赏,从此一发不可收。我们听到的这首Walking In The Air是2001年录制的,那时候他才9岁。据传好几家唱片公司争相与他签约,最后Emi(百代)以超过百万英镑之巨,签了他3年,并承诺发行3张唱片。
除了他的音乐天赋,以及身后的百万合同,Declan和12岁的其它小男孩没有什么分别。喜欢足球,电脑游戏和游泳,房间里贴满海报,足球,Robbie Williams,Westlife,还有哈里波特。他也曾为签名不够快而苦恼,直到听从父亲的建议,用“Dec”签名才算解决;他也会在采访中忍不住想要从凳子上逃走,当然会事先礼貌的问“我可以很快去踢球吗?”他喜欢的歌手包括Carole King,The Fureys,Christy Moore, Led Zeppelin,Robbie Williams 和Westlife。
Declan一边上学一边参与专辑的推广。他有专门的家教,确保他不会因为缺课而影响学业;他有专门的造型设计师,帮他打点Armani的定购,带他去Toni and Guy\'s做头发,也有专门的声乐导师和经纪人,还有他的歌友会。这对于一个床头还摆着恐龙惦记着遥控车的小男孩,似乎的确有些兴师动众了。
