My name is Darcelle Marie Wright-Harvey, Im 18
years old, Im a student at Dudley college, im learning
music level 3 and next year I want to do musical
theatre. I love to sing, ive been singing since I was 5, I
started to show my talent more when I went to
secondry school, I did lots of talent show's and plays
came and first for all of them. I have grown to realise
and experience that when I perform I touch peoples
hearts. Ive noticed that when I sing at church and community events. I enjoy diverse genres of music. I like pop, soul, urban, funk, rnb, jazz, gospel and also classical songs. The artists who inspire me to become the person I want to be are Aretha Franklin, Etta James Whitney Houston, Beyonce, Billie Holiday, Michael Jackson and many more.
When I went to the Star Youth Talent competition I was nervous, but the STAR professional team are very welcoming, warm, calm, supportive and nice they made me feel at home. The STAR Team are awesome, they mentor, empower and give opportunities to the youth to make it big. They have a network of professional people they have well-known producers, choreographers, fashion designers, artists who have had experience in the industry and also a vocal coach that will give you very good feed back and etc... so I just want to say a big thank you to STAR Youth Talent for making it possible for the youth to get notice and supporting me on my journey.
Best Dancer:
Jerome Scott
I entered star because it's an organisation put together
to encourage young people to strive, aspire and
succeed. It allowed me to show my talent within an
environment that pushes everyone, encourages each
other, learn new things and to stay humble.
Winning the dance heat of Sandwell and Dudley, I was
thankful for having the opportunity to have taken part.
I was overwhelmed with the support and that I had connected to the audience and judges.
In all it was a great experience and enjoyment to take part. I am looking forward to the grand finals. I'm an A-level student soon to be uni student. I look like Kevin Hart :-) joy" title="Face with tears of joy" />and umm I love to dance. I hope to inspire, aid and teach new things other young people.
