At 12 years old, Sheridan is one of the youngest classical crossover, operatic singers in the Classical Crossover Genre.
Sheridan was born in Chicago, Illinois to a musical family. He made his first tune, when he was 3 months old. At the age of 3, he was actively singing in church. After listening to performances by Luciano Pavarotti, Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Andrea Bocelli, he started to sing with an unusual opera voice for his age. It was so impressive, that there was no doubt, that he was going to sing opera. In the interview with the local newspaper in Peoria, after winning a vocal competition in the summer of 2012, Sheridan said, that he felt relaxed, when he sings opera.
The Daily Herald, described his voice as full of poise. Sheridan began singing at music festivals and talent competitions, where he has surprised the audiences with his unforgettable voice, unique look and the way he performs. Sheridan’s performance stands out of other singers of his age, because he uses the elements of acting and dancing, while he performs the classical repertoire. Sheridan uses his bright comedian skills, if it fits into the song. Sheridan showed his comedian skills, when he smoothly implemented the character of Charlie Chaplin in “Where Is Love” from the Musical “Oliver”.
Sheridan is inspired by Maestros Luciano Pavarotti, Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Andrea Bocelli, in whose steps he follows eagerly.
Sheridan has inherited a powerful and extraordinary voice with a unique timbre, along with a style that appeals to young and old alike.
Recently, Sheridan performed a one-hour concert at Chicago’s Festa Italiana on Taylor Street, with the youngest known mezzo-soprano in the world – the incredible Anastasia Lee. Their concert was exclusively in the Italian language, which emotionally impacted the audience. The Director of Entertainment for the 2013 Festa Italiana (Taylor Street Chicago), said about Sheridan’s performance: “ What we discovered on the event day was beyond our expectations. The young talent was indeed talented, and wowed our audiences for that evening. The set was filled with Italian Opera classics that kept the audience wanting more. From our sound team, to the event staff, we were all delighted to have worked with Sheridan this year. We hope to include him in our roster of Italian entertainment next year.”
