Britain's Got Talent contender Shaheen Jafargholi may have his sights set on global success - but the schoolboy is a homebody at heart.
He told us, “My granddad used to sing so I think I got most of my talent from him. I don’t have anyone famous in my family, but everyone is very supportive”.
Fresh from his successful audition, he was bursting to share his good news. “My family have been great and I can’t wait to go to school tomorrow, where everyone is really good friends. Hopefully everyone will be really happy when I tell them; they are all going to be bouncing”.
Shaheen, whose dad is from Iran and whose name means bird of prey in Persian, was brought up in Swansea by his now-single mum Karen.
And if he were to go further in the competition, he’s under no doubt that her wants to win it for Wales.
“I would love to be part of the history of good singers from Wales.”
The Cardiff auditions certainly provided some great talent and top-notch auditionees – but who knows who will make it all the way to the live show stage of Britain’s Got Talent?
Said Shaheen, “If I get through to the semi finals, who knows? I might be the only one from Wales. I would be very proud to show that Wales has got talent”.
“I would love to have everyone in Wales on my side and voting for me.”
