Sheridan Archbold Truly Talented Twelve Year Old Musical Marvel

“I believe God made me for a purpose, and when I sing, I feel that it’s something that I am meant to do.”

SHERIDAN ARCHBOLD Profile Full

 

Discovery of new young talent is always the objective of this site, but rarely are we so fortunate to find a talent like twelve year old Sheridan Archbold. While nearly every genre and style of music has been showcased here, one genre has been sorely neglected. Of course I’m speaking of Classical music and Opera. Not because we don’t recognize the importance and beauty of this style of music, but because finding a youngster who can do it justice is not a simple task.

Sheridan is billed as “The World’s Youngest Soprano Crossover Operatic Singer.”

While I’m not certain he’s the youngest, he certainly is one of if not the most talented I have ever heard. The clarity of his vocals, his perfect pitch and tone, and his use of vocal techniques beyond his years has earned him the right to be respected as a true professional performer.

In fact Sheridan has a most impressive resume for a young man his age!

I think what caught my eye watching him for the first time was his short comedic openings that he has for every music video he creates.  It’s in these short openers that you can catch a glimpse of this young man’s personality and the tool he uses to connect with his viewing audience.

You can also see his Live Standing Ovation Performance of this song where he was named the Grand Award Winner for the 2013 Mid-South Junior Youth Talent Contest.

After recently making contact with Sheridan’s parents through Facebook I found to my delight that Sheridan was willing to share his story with me for today’s publication. I asked him a variety of questions which he answered by providing the following………………….

“We have lived in Illinois, Missouri, Indiana and Australia. We now live in Yorkville, a small town in Illinois.

Sebastian Janoski Extraordinary Talent on the Rise

“I truly love to sing, write and play music, if I am able to combine that with acting and my love of the theater, it is just a perfect day!!”                                                                                          Sebastian Janoski

Record Labels, Movies, Singles, Music Videos, National Television, and Radio…..2014 looks to be another successful year for rising star Sebastian Janoski!

I remember the first time I saw Sebastian Janoski. Stumbling upon a YouTube Channel with less than 10 videos and only a handful of subscribers, I see a 12 year old young man sitting at his picnic table in the back yard of his home, belting out a song while accompanying himself acoustically on his guitar. I was blown away!

Nearly two years has passed since then, and for Sebastian Janoski, it’s been like a never ending roller coaster of career milestones that would keep even the most seasoned of performers in awe. His YouTube Channel now sports 89 videos with nearly 45,000 views.

In our last update for Sebastian he had just returned from his 2nd appearance on The “Katie Couric Show” and at that time had no idea the new roads those appearances would take him down.

Sebastian Takes on the Big Screen

That National Television appearance was obviously a success, because not long after that appearance, Sebastian was contacted by Award winning author and filmmaker Kenneth Del Vecchio of JFA Productions and the founder of the annual Hoboken International Film Festival.  Mr. Del Vecchio took notice and reached out to Sebastian through Facebookinviting him to be his personal guest to the 2013 Festival.

Sebastian says of that experience; “It was absolutely amazing to walk the red carpet for the first time! Spending time at that huge event, meeting all the producers, directors and actors was just too exciting!!”
