He delivers the news, now heB次元官网网址檚 making the news. A Goldstream Gazette newspaper carrier from Langford is preparing to, hopefully, take the world by storm when he auditions for BritainB次元官网网址檚 Got Talent.

Singer Christopher White will be travelling to London in September to audition for the talent show that made an unsuspecting Susan Boyle a worldwide sensation, under the critical eye of judge Simon Cowell.

A singer for many years, performing as a background artist and in choirs, it has been 45-year-old WhiteB次元官网网址檚 lifelong dream to step into the spotlight and make the big time. But it was watching vocalist Sydnie Christmas win the U.K. television contest earlier this year that inspired him to get off the couch and reach for the stars.

"I thought to myself, B次元官网网址榃hy can't that be me?B次元官网网址橞次元官网网址� said White. B次元官网网址淲hy can't I have that opportunity to experience what she has? Why are so many other people going in front of me to have what I dream of?B次元官网网址�

Having dual citizenship with Canada and U.K., White opted for the U.K.-based version of the talent show.

B次元官网网址淒reams do come true,B次元官网网址� said White about the moment he received the news that he had been chosen to audition.

For his audition, White will be performing the uplifting number, B次元官网网址橞elieveB次元官网网址�, a song made famous by Laura Bretan and The Tenors in 2020.

B次元官网网址淭he goal is hopefully a record deal, recording the songs of my youth that I grew up with,B次元官网网址� said White. B次元官网网址淎nd maybe writing my own songs as well, but that comes with practice.B次元官网网址�

Fame and fortune is not the only reason White is auditioning. He also wants to raise awareness of functional neurological disorder (FND), a condition he was diagnosed with five years ago.

FND is a neurological condition caused by changes in how brain networks work, causing multiple symptoms that can significantly interfere with how a person functions and copes with daily life.

B次元官网网址淚t's a challenge, a personal challenge for me to overcome,B次元官网网址� said White about his upcoming audition. B次元官网网址淲ith the FND, I've had seizures in the past, but IB次元官网网址檓 on medicine which is helping. But, ultimately, I just want to run through the fire and come out the other side of the audition, unscathed and successful. And raise awareness of FND - much more needs to be done.B次元官网网址�

Currently, WhiteB次元官网网址檚 friends and family are in the dark about his upcoming, potentially life-changing audition.

B次元官网网址淲ell theyB次元官网网址檙e about to find out now,B次元官网网址� joked White.
