Not a lot of people in the United Sates know who Ronan Parke is.
He came in second place in the “Britain’s Got Talent” television show last year and, much like our own United States AGT runner-up Jackie Evancho, seems to be doing pretty well for himself.
Ronan, who was only 12-years-old when he competed on BGT, has already been signed to a record label and is preparing his first studio album.
But it has not been an easy ride for young Ronan.
During the Britain’s Got Talent competition he and Simon Cowell were accused of rigging the competition.
Parke was accused of training in secret for two years under the care of Simon – who was also accused of paying for his vocal couch and buying his cloths and sitting him with a fashion coach.
In fact, the day before the final show Cowell actually called the police to try and stop the rumors.

Ronan started singing when he was only three and has been taking singing lessons the last two years. After singing at a few birthday parties he decided to enter the BGT auditions.
He blew away the judges and audience, and was booked for the show and made it all the way to second place.

But now the show is over and Ronan has been in the studio after being signed by Simon Cowell’s record label.
He has also been performing live shows and has appeared at the Manchester Opera House, The True Loves Academy in London, The Edge Festival in Edinburgh, and at The Kazimier in Liverpool.
Not bad for the now 13-year-old.
His upcoming album will release on October 24, 2011 and will consist of remixes of popular cover songs.
In preparation for the new album release, Parke has been giving his fans a sneak peek at the various tracks.
One that caught our eye was an acoustic version of Lady Gaga’s “Edge of Glory”.

He may not be the next Justin Bieber, Greyson Chance or Cody Simpson but this kid has talent.
Ronan says that music is in his blood and it is all he wants to do in life. His parents are behind him 100 percent and it seems he is off to a good start.
You can visit Ronan on his Facebook page and can pre-order his new album here on Amazon.
Go get ‘em kid.
