Vocal powerhouse Sydnie Christmas, the winner of this year's Britain's Got Talent, has released her debut album My Way, named after the track which captivated millions during her semi-final performance on the talent show.
Christmas saw Britain’s Got Talent as her final chance, having experienced a run of unsuccessful auditions, and felt that it would be an exciting opportunity to end on. Little did the vocalist know when she signed up that she would go on not only receive the Golden Buzzer from judge Amanda Holden, but win the show.
Hailing from Gravesham in Kent, having studied at the D&B Academy of Performing Arts, Christmas made her ‘off West End’ London stage debut in Lazarus. The ex-gym worker also had stints on cruise ships where she performed in productions such as Grease and performed in Starlight Express in Germany.
Getting onto the West End stages proved to be a hard battle for Christmas, so she decided to give it one last shot when applying for Britain’s Got Talent. Upon winning BGT, she became the first female singer to win the show, and stands on the precipice of what promises to be a remarkable career.
What has life been like post BGT?
It's been very busy. I didn't know what to expect, but I didn't expect all of this, so I made an album. I've got a tour coming up in February and I've had a couple of live gigs, which has been great, because playing live is what I love.
Now the album's done, I'm preparing for the tour. There's really exciting things coming up. I've got panto this year, which is amazing, because I get to come home for Christmas.
