Incredible Singing Success Stories

The benefits of singing

Let’s face it: we all love singing. Whether it’s around the house, in the car or within a singing lesson, we somehow feel more alive after giving a rendition of our favourite rock song, pop song or musical theatre number.

Singing is cathartic. It helps ease stress and can prove to be hugely beneficial for our emotional well-being. Some of us are born with a natural ability to sing, others get better over time with practice and professional training. Whatever the journey, there are some fantastic singers out there… here are just a handful of incredible singing success stories.

Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran’s rise to stardom has been a swift one. A creative singer-songwriter, it’s quite amazing how much he achieved by his early 20s. After a brief hiatus, Ed Sheeran is back, and he used social media to announce his new records. Having already released two singles this year which currently sit at numbers 1 and 2 in the UK singles chart, we think it’s safe to say that 2017 will be a busy year for Ed Sheeran.

Susan Boyle

Originally from Scotland, Susan Boyle won the nations hearts when she gave her rendition of I Dreamed a Dream from the long-running musical, Les Miserables on Britain’s Got Talent in 2008. It didn’t take long for her performance to take the internet by storm, and she has since sold millions of records to critical acclaim.

Adele

Social Media played its part in Adele’s rise to fame. She was only a teenager when a video of her singing was uploaded to Myspace, and since then she’s enjoyed a series of Grammy Awards, Brit Awards, and has released one of the best-selling UK albums of all time, all in the space of just ten years.

Aled Jones

Aled Jones rose to fame in the 1980s. Originally from Wales, Aled’s voice struck a chord with the nation when he sung Walking in the Air for Channel 4’s The Snowman. By the age of 16 he had recorded a plethora of albums, and still ever-present on television, Aled’s career has stood the test of time and has lasted over 30 years.

Will.i.am

Will.i.am’s career has grown over recent years. After The Black Eyed Peas became a household name, Will.i.am enjoyed a successful solo career. Now a regular judge on The Voice UK, Will.i.am has branched out from his music career to develop his own clothing range and even a new digital watch.
