Ronan Parke facts

1. His musical genes come from his mother. Ronan’s mother was part of a band and was even studying to launch a potential solo career. But she hated being in the spotlight and retired from the music business. Rarely leaving without listening or singing her favorite songs, her younger son Ronan inherited her passion for music.
2. At the age of 3 he started singing along to the songs on the radio.
3. He had his first stage performance at the age of 5. Disguised as a Christmas tree, he impressed his family with a solo act that was part of his school work.
4. Ronan was inclined to fashion since early childhood. His mother proclaimed that while she has a great influence on his manners and how he interacts with other people, all she says in her son’s clothing and style is that she is allowed to spend a large fortune on Ronan’s outfits.
5. The singer confessed in an interview that he was often bullied at school because he had no interest in sports and did not wear baggy clothes like other boys his age. As Ronan became more interested in music and fashion and wore form fitting clothes, his classmates would often taunt him by calling him “gay”. He also admitted that he was more feminine than the boys in his class.
6. Ronan has a dog named Lola and considers her his spirit animal.
7. From the age of ten, Ronan took £15 a half-hour weekly singing lessons from Norwich-based vocal coach Kay Webber before taking part in Britain’s Got Talent (2011). Kay Webber also confirmed in an interview that Ronan was one of her top students.
8. Although Ronan was everyone’s favorite to win Britain’s Got Talent (2011), an unknown writer stirred controversy on the internet, it was claimed in June 2011 that the BGT was “fixed” as Ronan was previously known to have judged Simon Cowell, who pre-judged the young singer before his BGT -Had cultivated auditions for two years. The author was later located in July 2011 and he accepted that it was a made up story made up by him.
9. Allegations that Ronan was acquainted with Simon Cowell were denied by both.
10. The damage done by the anonymous author’s online smear campaign saw Ronan Parke lose the title of Britain’s Got Talent in 2011 to Scottish singer Jai McDowall with 2.5% of the vote.
11. Ronan was signed by Simon Cowell but SYCO records were dropped within a year of his debut album peaking at No. 22 in the UK Singles Chart and generating lukewarm sales.
12. In 2014, Ronan released a single, Defined , to show his support for London-based anti-bullying charity Kidscape.
13. In 2017, Parke made his theatrical debut playing Aladdin in a pantomime for Anton Benson Productions. He was also nominated in February 2018 for The Great British Pantomime Award in the Best Newcomer category.
