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.

When I first saw Anthony Gargiula I was amazed at his prowess in performing  and his unprecedented talent for not only entertaining but lighting up the entire stage with his character and charm.

He galloped onto the stage of Ellen Degeneres and into America’s heart and of course we followed him to the American Idol show where he interviewed the idol contestants for that year which included David Archuleta and David Cook.  Anthony continued to shine at many places after that doing shows and singing the National Anthem at ball parks and his most recent appearance at the Nascar Sylvania 300.

I was honored to meet Anthony face to face on Skype this past year and I have to tell you that this young man is not only charming and personable, but way ahead of his years in communicating his thoughts and conducting himself like a professional who had been doing this all his life.
