Thilo Berndt Entering Global Rockstar Contest!

Thilo BerndtIf you are a Thilo Berndt fan you have seen and heard Thilo’s improvement on his latest videos, however you may have asked yourself what Thilo has been up to over the past couple of months. Well we are happy to say we have finally caught up to him and found out that he has been very busy since our last update!

Thilo’s musical career was catapulted in 2008 with The Kiddy Contest and continued in 2009 and 2010 with his winning performance in Teenage Rockstars.

Thilo was then featured here in a full feature article on November 15th, 2010 where we told his amazing story about his rise to fame featuring two videos that captured his appearances in both contests.  His music has been playing on a rotation basis on The Skykid.com Radio ever since and his latest videos have been featured in the sidebars on this site on a regular basis!  In addition Thilo stayed quite busy during 2011 participating in two TV-Productions.

While it seems that things have been quiet surrounding Thilo as of late, that is not entirely true.

Colton Jacobson Tremendously Talented Texas Teen

Colton JacobsonSetting aside special time each week just to listen to new young vocalists is one of my favorite things to do.  While I receive many requests via YouTube and e-mail to check out various talented singers, what thrills me even more is when I accidentally stumble upon a talent that jumps out of obscurity and hits me square in the face.

Such was the case with fourteen year old Colton Jacobson.

Heralding from Frisco, Texas Colton Jacobson is a young musical prodigy with a big voice and with music seemingly running through his veins.

I sat in awe as I watched and listened to each of his YouTube videos that included covers by Adel, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Jessie J, and Beyoncé.  Often I will skip off to a new channel after one or two videos, but Colton stopped me dead in my tracks.  I could not leave until I heard every one of his covers.

While every video was more than enjoyable, Colton’s cover of “Fireworks” by Katy Perry and Adel’s “Set Fire To The Rain” were for me the most impressive.  His A capella portion in “Set Fire To The Rain” allowed me to really note how pitch perfect he could be.  Stepping away from his piano accompaniment for just those few bars more than captured my attention and drew me in.  It was then and there that I had to discover more about this tremendously talented Texas teen.
