hello please react to Darren Espanto's I Believe by Fantasia also in the Wish Bus...you would see more of his versitality as a singer. Fantasia even tweeted that he will inspire people with his rendition of her song. By the way he is 15 years old and he was 14 in that video. He is Canadian by birth but his parents are both Filipinos. He joined The Voice Kids of the Philippines and was 1st runner up
hey there (Y & A Reacts) i am a big fan of Darren Espanto and, Darren Lyndon Espanto is a Filipino - Canadian singer. He was born in Calgary on May 24, 2001. He started singing at the age of 2, and first joined a competition at the age of ten, he won the Masters Finals of the Pinoy Singing Sensation competition in Edmonton. He made his first television appearance at the age of ten when he joined YTV's reality television The Next Star in 2012; he became the youngest finalist in the history of the show to be included in the Top 6. However, he rose to prominence after joining the first season of The Voice Kids Philippines. In August 2014, Espanto became part of ABS-CBN's Star Magic. Espanto released his first full-length self-titled studio album, Darren, in December 2014, under MCA Music Inc. (Philippines), a Universal Music Group company. It debuted at number 1 on the Philippine charts of Apple's iTunes store and Astro Chart; it is now a certified Platinum album. Last May 2016, he released his sophomore album titled Be with Me, also under MCA Music Inc. (Philippines), featuring his carrier single "7 Minutes", that was then followed by "Starlight" and "Parachute", which also became number 1 on the Philippine charts of Apple's iTunes store after just being released.
To give you a background on the life of Marcelito Pomoy.... he was born and raised from a broken family and ended up being adopted by one of his parents siblings who was a police officer at that time. No adoption papers, he was just fostered in his house. He studied in kindergarten through to his 3rd grade in gradecschool in a local public school. He was neglected in that family so at a very young age of about 8 years old left the only home he knew and walked the streets of Manila often going for days hungry, doing whatever odd jobs he can do to be able to buy a piece of bread or scraps of food he could find on the streets. All that time he learned to humm and sing to himself. He did so much variety of odd jobs like being a helper in construction sites, mixing cement manually with gravel and water and carrying it to the guys needing to build hollow blocks with cement, etc., selling boiled duck eggs which is a popular delicacy called "Balot" upto the wee hours of dawn, any job an under 12 year old kid could do Marcelito had done it. He would hang around clubs and restaurants and watch in amazement at the talent of the singers' performing while he watched from outside the door. He started singing himself and follow the way he sees the singers sing and thru the years he kept on singing. He was a no read no write kid having left his 3rd year public grade school education to fend for himself and survived all those years. He was in his mid teens, while in several construction sites that he had discovered he could sing both a male and female voice. He honed his skills further and sometime in his late teens or early 20's he was urged by his circle of friends to join a nationwide TV network having a singing competition in Manila. He passed the audition but did not show his full talent until he sang in the competition live and on the air. He won the competition hands down despite so many excellent competitors. He got a record deal with the recording studio arm of the same tv network and the rest is now history. His SUFFERINGS in life I just touched on the surface.... You won't be able to watch his TH-cam videos about his life story coming from Marcelito Pomoy because he is not comfortable talking in conversational American English. He can sing almost all songs in so many different languages with the help of a diction coach but talk to him in English, interview him in English and he would need a translator to assist him. He is very rich now in terms of an average Filipino earning a decent living in manila, he was able to buy a beautiful home and got married to his girlfriend and they have a child now to enrich their married blissful life as a family. He has now returned to school to be more confident in his life but it's still a very long way to go for him. He does an excellent job of emulating the diction, way of delivering of the singers he hears and watches. His favorite singer is Celine Dion and Andre Bochhelli (?) and the prayer is one of his favorite songs. He first listens to each song he wants to sing, following their pronunciation, breathing patterns, etc until he's able to follow them like he is Celine Dion etc. I hope I had she'd some life on Marcelito Pomoy so you'd understand better why maybe you'd notice some slight imperfections in the way he emulates other singers songs. I'm Mr. Briones, from the Philippines, too, like Marcelito is, but I've migrated to Australia living in the beautiful city of Sydney. God Bless us all. Jhun Briones Sydney Australia
Darren Espanto is a Filipino-Canadian who started singing when he was 3, was 14 when he sang that song, and he's currently 15. He was in the top 6 in the Canadian singing competition "The Next Star" when he was 10 but lost, at 12 he rose to fame on "The Voice Kids Philippines" (you guys should see his auditions for both The Next Star and The Voice Kids BTW). He placed 2nd on The Voice Kids Philippines.
darren is really good..always gets goosebumps everytime i watch his videos....you guys are great just subscribed because your reactions are so genuine..keep it up...from The Philippines👌👍
What amazes me most about these Filipinos (Marcelito, Darren and Morissette in particular) is that not only do they have sick voices - they have the emotion and expressions on top of that which I feel is also an extremely rare quality :)
FYI this Chandelier cover of Darren was tweeted by Nicki Minaj and Ashton Kutcher when it first came out...Nicki said he was effortless and Ashton said he was blown away by Darren....for his age he really is an amazing singer :)
OMG did you know that it's harder to sing when your sitting than you stand and he still made it and hit the high notes I'm impressed and I'm a Filipino too
Hi, guys! Unfortunately the original video of Darren Espanto's cover of Chandelier has already been deleted here on youtube due to a copyright claim. But the good news is you can still listen to it here --> open.spotify.com/track/5h5UDfttjIoIIFfACQMbRN because it's a part of Darren's latest album: Be With Me (Deluxe Version). Happy Streaming! 💚

You know what, that video is already deleted in their channel because some said people expect that he's the one who compose that song.
