Since beginning my quest to find some of the best talent in the world I am especially delighted when I find young talent that is just starting to blossom.  Over the past several years, this website has been privileged to introduce a number of youngsters who have gone on to be signed by managers and some have even scored excellent recording contracts. Today’s featured guest is no exception to this rule, and shows amazing showmanship that well exceeds his Eleven years of life!  Even though he is just starting out in his career he has already been billed as

“The Boy With the Golden Voice”

Shane Treloar is an Eleven year old multi-talented crooner, dancer, actor, and stage performer from Pittsburgh, who I’m told, sang almost as soon as he could talk!  His Mother shared that;

     “Shane is a bit of an “old soul” and is drawn to the melodies of past generations”. 

After all, how many young boys have Benny Goodman and Al Jolson on their i-Pod?  Shane sings all genres, loves Broadway tunes the best, and can belt out the National Anthem like nobody’s business.  At the age of 7, he made his stage debut singing Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” for his elementary school’s talent show.  His promising voice pulled the audience to him and their thunderous applause confirmed for Shane that the stage is his place and connecting to the audience through song is his calling.

It has been my privilege over the past couple of years to introduce through this site some amazingly talented young male vocalists and sibling singing groups .  Some of these are just starting out and others are well on their way to a career in the entertainment industry. Today I’m privileged to bring you a young man who is not just an amazing young performer and singer, but an entertainer of King’s and Presidents.

Norway born, Eirik Gjendemsjø is what I call a true Presidential Performer. Eirik was invited to be a feature soloist in the public celebration of His Majesty King Harald’s 70th Birthday and also had the distinguished honor of singing for First Lady Michelle Obama in Oslo during the visit of the American President in 2009 for the Nobel Peace Prize.

In addition to these two notable events, Eirik has participated in the choir for Andrea Bochelli and took part in the choir for Morten Harket and Diana Ross in the Nobel Peace Prize concert in 2007 and 2008, and all of this before his 16th birthday.

Eirik, like many young talented boys, showed an interest in singing at a very young age.  When he was just eight years old he auditioned for the prestigious Silver Boys Choir and was awarded a placement as first soprano.  During his time with the choir, Eirik participated in choir tours, concerts, and made a number of television appearances. His experience gained in  this choir has proven to be a rewarding part of his life, making an everlasting impact on his continuing music career.
