A young singer with big dreams
At just 12 years old, Dylan from London stepped onto the Britain’s Got Talent stage with a humble smile and a heart full of ambition. Despite his nerves, he shared with the judges that if he won the prize money, he would use it to visit Disneyland in America and save for his future music projects. His maturity and focus immediately won over the panel, inspiring them to encourage him to face the stage.
Taking on a monumental challenge
For his audition, Dylan chose Beyoncé’s iconic “Listen”—a song notoriously difficult even for seasoned singers. From the first note, the theatre was captivated. His voice was unexpectedly mature, with flawless technique, rich tone, and emotional depth far beyond his years. What began as a shy performance quickly transformed into a powerhouse display of vocal skill.

Alesha Dixon praised his “off the scale” technique for a 12-year-old.
-
Amanda Holden called him a “gorgeous, unassuming, humble person” and described the performance as flawless.

By the end, Dylan earned four unanimous “yeses,” securing his place in the competition and keeping his dreams of future albums—and Disneyland—alive.
A performance to remember
Dylan’s audition wasn’t just a song—it was proof that age doesn’t limit talent. With his remarkable voice, determination, and poise, this 12-year-old transformed a moment of nervousness into a performance that will be remembered for years to come.
