‘He’s always been singing, ever since he could make a sound it’s been a harmony,’ said Mada Cantwell, 27, of her one-year-old son Taidgh.
Taidgh’s penchant for music drew attention on TikTok, where Mada shared a video of her little one singing – in almost perfect pitch – to the traditional gospel song This Little Light of Mine.
Taidgh appears to know all the words, even though he can’t fully pronounce them properly.
The adorable video garnered more than a million views on TikTok, and Mada, from Kilkenny, Ireland, is even thinking about putting him in singing lessons eventually.
‘I just encourage him to sing. I might sign him up for singing classes in the future, but only if that’s what he wants,’ she said.
‘I do think I might have a little musician on my hands.’
She thinks Taidgh’s apparent talent has been influenced by his family: both Mada and her husband Larry are often dancing and singing around the house.
‘I’m always singing and dancing around the house, and his dad and brother are too,’ she said.
Larry, 31, is just as made up with his son’s singing skills: ‘I’m his number one groupie, his biggest fan,’ he said.
However, little Taidgh is quite a way off from being a performer – he prefers to sing in the privacy of his own home, saving his notes for mummy and daddy’s ears only.
‘He sings every day, but he’s a bit shy, so he doesn’t really sing in front of other people,’ said Mada.
‘The reception he’s had on Tiktok has been amazing.
‘I’m the proudest mum. Everyone’s been very sweet.’
Who knows, maybe Taidgh will be topping the charts in the next two decades.
We’ll keep our eyes peeled.
