It was about two years ago when I first heard Anthony sing. I was downstairs in my office when my wife announced upstairs that I needed to come up and watch this young boy sing the National Anthem for the beginning of the Belmont race. I don’t remember what horse won that event but Anthony was a winner that immediately captured my attention and made me begin watching his career. From a little boy with a big voice, Anthony Gargiula, now eleven years old, is an accomplished singer with a style all his own, a true singing sensation.
Anthony began singing at 2 years old and hasn’t stopped since. His “big break†came when he placed second in a national Radio Disney singing competition. Since then, he has received over 4 million YouTube views, appeared several times on The Today Show and The Ellen Show, and is the youngest performer to ever sing at the world famous Carnegie Hall in New York City. He has also had the opportunity to open for national headliners such as the Jonas Brothers and Lady Antebellum.

Watch Anthony perform the Anthem at the Belmont
Anthony’s extensive repertoire ranges from pop music, to Broadway classics, patriotic tunes, country favorites, and original songs. This wide range of musical styles along with Anthony’s natural performing skills, gives him the ability to ‘wow’ any crowd.
Currently, Anthony has just completed filming two episodes for an up-coming TV show, The Wannabes. His main focus is recording original songs for his debut album with Grammy award winning writer and producer Bradley Spalter in Los Angeles California. Anthony’s new CD is expected to be released in a little less than a month so get ready for this very special production!

To learn more about Anthony, visit him on His Official Website or his Facebook Site and of course you won’t want to miss him on You-Tube. If you live in or around New York, you will want to catch Anthony singing the National Anthem at the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame Induction ceremony on July 25, 2010 in Cooperstown, New York. Anthony sets another “youngest ever record” by being the youngest person to ever sing the Anthem at this event.

Thanks Tommy, Yes Anthony is very special! He not only is a fantastic singer but also has an amazing personality! I so much enjoy his videos and especially his time with Ellen on her show. When he sang on Ellen the first time I knew he was more than a star in the making he was a real showman! Thanks for all you do for the kids on your site as well. Your a very dedicated and special person yourself!
He has an awesome voice for so young. if he sings this good now , he will be outstanding when he gets older.
Actually the National Anthem was the first thing I heard Anthony sing. Of course I watched him on Ellen with great interest and on American Idol interviewing the Idols. His personality is so charismatic and contagious that he is just irresistible. You must watch him and then when you do you are pulled in and he captures you with every performance. I tell you with assurance, Anthony G. will be big very big and it won't be long before this happens!
I find it rather interesting that so many young singers from the US get noticed while performing the national anthem. While checking the video you embeded in your article I noted the style and the class of Anthony and the confidence he seems to project. People say that one can imediately recognize a real talent – and I guess now I know what they are talking about.
In addition I am starting to recognize the value of the Disney channel for the development of young talents in the US.
Thank you for introducing another young singer. I hope I will be reading more about him as his album release date gets near.
