Charlie Green

A biography....

Charlie Green, a 10-year old Filipino-British from Droitwich, Worcestershire wowed the audience and the judges during the live audition of Britain's Got Talent. His rendition of Frank Sinatra's Summer Wind has landed him in the semi-finals.

Charlie was born on Feb. 16, 1997 of British Roger Green and Filipina Cecilia Sumargo originally from Dumanjug, Cebu. From the very young age of 2, he was already entertaining his friends and families. He entered a talent show on the cruise ship Ocean Majesty when he was only 3 years old. He has since performed in several cruise ships, concerts and variety shows. In 2002, he sang at the Royal Opera House in York and when he was 8, at a concert at St. James' Palace. He was also presented to her Royal Highness, Princess Anne.

He first opened the annual Black and White Minstrel Reunion in 2003 and was invited back in 2004 and 2007. No doubt it was his talent that earned him that honor rather than the mere fact that his father was once a part of that popular, later controversial variety show.

He has already recorded a Christmas song "Hands Around the World" to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign for a friend who has duchenne muscular dystrophy.

This young singer is no doubt headed to become a great singer, as is his goal.
