Birth Place

There is no ambiguity regarding where the dream run started for Connie. In mid-2007, ITV launched'Britain's Got Talent' - a new reality talent show created by Simon Cowell that would later go on to become a global phenomenon spawning spin-offs in as many as 58 countries. It was here that the world first caught a glimpse of Connie's genius, and quite soon, she became the face of the show alongside tenor musician Paul Potts. Though Potts went on to win the first season, Connie won the hearts of millions around the world. That kind of talent and popularity inevitably open the door to great opportunities, which was precisely what happened in Connie's case. Soon after her BGT stint, Connie signed with the Rainbow Recording Company and released her debut album, 'Over the Rainbow.' And that was the beginning of many great things to come.

The Meteoric Rise to Stardom

The girl who could sing as soon as she could talk: that's how everyone close to Connie fondly remembers her early years. Connie Talbot was born to sing. Now, that may sound clichéd, but this is one of those rare instances where it holds true. Perhaps the word 'singer' is a bit reductive, for she is also a bona fide pianist. So, a more wholesome analysis would be this: she is a born musician! It runs in her DNA. In an age where so many mediocre wannabes manage to pass off as artists quite successfully (all thanks to technology, clever PR stunts and great strokes of luck), Connie is a rare exception. And that's what makes her special.

What Makes Connie Talbot So Special

Between 2007 and 2016, Connie's creative output has been prolific. Through 'Connie Talbot's Christmas Album' (2008) and 'Connie Talbot's Holiday Magic' (2009), her voice became synonymous with the gaiety and spirit of the holiday season. Besides brand endorsements for various children-oriented merchandise, she also toured internationally and performed at prestigious events. Among this was the 2010 trip to South Korea where she was the opening act for the 'Road to Hope' concert which marked the inception of the G20 Summit in Seoul. This was followed by the mega-event on New Year's Eve in China (in 2011), which was watched by over 600 million viewers on television in the country.

Along the way, Connie passed a few milestones too; she made it to the Guinness Book of World Records thrice - as the youngest English artist ever to reach the charts, the youngest ever to receive a gold record and the lead vocalist to be accompanied by the largest number of backing singers in a public venue.

In 2012, Connie recorded her first "pop" single in Los Angeles: the song, 'Sail Away' peaked at No.1 on CD Baby's Pop Single Chart. Her fourth album, 'Beautiful World', was released in the same year, and was a big hit in Taiwan and China.
