A Dublin teenager's performance to his neighbours outside his home has gone viral online after disappointing Leaving Cert results mean he can't make it to Music college.
Martin McDonnell, 18, was given a boost after a disappointing results day when huge American record label 88Rising shared his video on their Twitter page, Dublin Live reports.
McDonnell was performing 'Lose' by pop star NIKI, who is signed to the massive label, and they told him they "loved it".
The concert for his neighbours was shared on their Twitter account and has been viewed over 160,000 times.
McDonnell said: "Played a small gig for the neighbours the other evening when I got my Leaving Cert results.
"I played a song called 'Lose' by NIKI, and her label 88Rising contacted me and they loved it.
"They asked to share it on their Twitter and it went viral..."
He added that, unfortunately, he didn't get the points he wanted for Music college.
He said: "I didn't get my place in college... it was the difference between a H5 and a H6.
"I'm gutted..."
The young man's spirits were surely lifted with the response to his video online though and is sure to be one to watch for the future.
What a beautiful voice.
