This is Eryk Waszczuk, and I wish I could be like him! He is barely old enough to go anywhere alone, but it’s his stage presence and ability to give it his all that’s so impressive. He just owns it, from the second he’s on stage, wearing a blazer, white shirt, nice jeans and a huge smile.
The music starts and he’s off! From the first strong note, Eryk wails, immediately getting everyone’s attention. The crowd screams and his family looks on from the side stage, very proud. His younger sister even does a cartwheel!
Eryk’s been exercising his vocal chords ever since he was a wee little one. Even as a baby, playtime was singing time! Once he reached the age of five, Eryk expressed the desire to ditch normal elementary school in search of a curriculum that had more of a musical approach. Eryk’s voice and talent might be big, but unfortunately, he’s too young and didn’t meet the requirements of the specialized school. No sweat though. He’s pursued his dreams outside of the classroom.
This kid has been putting in every waking moment not spent in class perfecting his skills to improve his voice. So it’s no surprise that his performance struck a chord with every judge and got a standing ovation from the audition. He sings “When a Man Loves a Woman” by Michael Bolton, and he’s just too cool! He’s singing a song so far ahead of his time. Has he ever been in love? Doesn’t matter, cause this kid has everyone falling in love with his voice! If Eryk keeps up the good work, he’s bound to go far!
