Dalton Letorney New England’s Electrifying Entertainer

Dalton Heralding from Weymouth, Massachusetts, USA, comes thirteen year old singer, songwriter, musician and outstanding vocalist Dalton Letorney!  This award-winning musician, plays keyboard, piano, harmonica, and has performed for thousands throughout the New England States.

While most talented youngsters are reported to show amazing musical abilities as early as four or five years of age, Dalton secretly held his in reserve.  It could be that he was just soaking everything up in preparation for his moment to shine and demonstrate what he was really capable of.

His parents report that Dalton started playing piano at age eight taking Suzuki lessons at South Shore Conservatory where you learn to play by ear first then read notes afterward. It was about this time that he began to demonstrate signs of having perfect pitch. Despite these musical abilities blossoming, he always showed anxiety when it came to singing. Whenever his parents would hear him sing around the house he would get shy and stop.  However, through the encouragement of his Mother when Dalton was eleven, he was persuaded to perform at his fifth grade talent show with his younger brother Dylan, age nine.  The boys were the opening act in that show performing in front of more than 600 people.

After that performance, Dalton was bitten by the performing ‘bug’ and wanted to do more. His brother decided to focus on sports while Dalton pursued singing along with his piano skills and performed his first solo performance at his fifth grade school concert.   The following year Dalton blew everyone away with his performance of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin” backed up by 300 of his classmates in the school choir.

 Since then Dalton has entered and won numerous talent competitions throughout New England. He performed in Braintree’s Got Talent, Wachusetts Got Talent, and Music On and Up’s (2nd place winner in the Grand Finale for under 19 musicontheupshowcase).  Music On and Up has been very instrumental in providing tremendous performance opportunities for Dalton throughout 2011.

Dalton enjoys all types of music. When he first started his solo career back in June, 2010, he loved the group Journey (Don’t Stop Believin’). He then started to learn more classic rock songs that incorporated more piano. Songs like “Piano Man”, by Billy Joel, “Crocodile Rock”, by Elton John and “Dream On”, by Aerosmith.  As his music taste broadened, he began to enjoy more current pop music like Adele, Usher and Bruno Mars. Soon afterward, he became inspired to start writing his own original music with the use of Jam Studio and Garage Band on his home computer. In addition, Dalton enjoys collaborating on songs with other musicians he meets and posting new covers of songs on his YouTube Channel.
