Chanteur Country US né le 24
Mai 1988 à Westerly (Rhode Island).
Only 11 years
old when he notched his first hit single, Billy Gilman was the youngest
performer ever to reach the Billboard country charts, breaking a record held by
Brenda Lee since 1957. Gilman was born in Westerly, RI, on May 24, 1988, and
grew up in nearby Hope Valley. He was singing before he started school and
developed rapidly enough to start performing publicly at age seven. He was
booked as an opening act at several county fairs, including one with headliner
Jo Dee Messina. Gilman caught his big break when
Asleep at the Wheel leader Ray Benson heard him sing and was impressed by
the precocious power behind his Vocals. Benson had Gilman make a demo tape,
which wound up landing the young singer a deal with Epic.
Backed by seasoned Nashville studio pros, Gilman completed his debut album, One
Voice, in 2000. Its title song, a spiritual plea against school violence,
climbed into the Top 20 of the country charts, and the album itself hit number
two and quickly went gold. The follow-up single, "Oklahoma," was also a Top 40
hit, and the holiday album Classic Christmas was rushed out by the end of 2000;
it reached number four on the country charts, and featured a duet with fellow
Vocals prodigy Charlotte Church. Gilman's proper second album, Dare to Dream,
appeared in 2001 and hit number six; it also spawned two minor chart hits in
"She's My Girl" and "Elisabeth," the latter a sentimental ballad about a girl
battling a terminal illness. That theme became the basis for Gilman's third
album when he met young poet and best-selling author Mattie Stepanek -- a
muscular dystrophy sufferer -- during a TV appearance with Larry King. Gilman
decided to record Stepanek's poems in song form, and several Nashville pros were
commissioned to set them to music. The result, Music Through Heartsongs: Songs
Based on the Poems of Mattie T.J. Stepanek, was released in spring 2003.
Everything and More followed in 2005 and the eponymous Billy Gilman in 2006.
