In 2005, he was selected from 25,000 children in the audition for "The Little Prince" and became the starring role in the BBC musical "The Little Prince"! He was signed by Sony BMG, the world's largest record giant, for two million pounds. On December 5, 2005, Joseph McManners' first album "In Dreams" was released.
This album by Joseph McManners mainly consists of two types of music, one is modern religious music, and the other is based on cartoon theme songs and film music. Joseph McManners' voice is not as clear and high-pitched as Declan's, but it has an elegant, sacred and quiet temperament. The same "Bright Eyes" is sung like a love song by Declan, but Joseph's version is like a hymn.
It is worth mentioning that the composer of the musical The Little Prince is Rachel Portman, a female soundtrack master that we all know and like (soundtracks for the movies Emma, ??Chocolate, etc.). Netizen Jerry said, "I have always felt that her music has a child-like innocence, so it is natural for her to be responsible for the music part this time. Portman has long wanted to write a children's musical opera suitable for adults and children." My wish came true through The Little Prince.”
Joseph didn’t know it at the time, but he had already been spotted by Sony BMG during the rehearsal. The songs in this InDreams are all songs that little Joseph liked very much. It can be said that they have been throughout his childhood memories. There is a story behind each song.
Joseph’s musical journey has just begun, and it is destined to be a great future. The next step on his agenda is to perform at the Royal Albert Hall for a classical music station.
You will be surprised when you hear Joseph's voice for the first time. His voice is as clear as spring under the moon. A handsome blond boy, an angel who can enchant everyone who listens to his voice---Joseph McManners.
