#Conor maynard hello words software
He used karaoke backing tracks and invested £40 (Dh229.42) in the home recording program Mixcraft because “it was the cheapest software I could find and real easy to use”. He recorded in his bedroom, “with two Singstar microphones from PlayStation 2 Sellotaped to my bedpost”. Eventually he hit on the idea of recording songs they liked and posting them on YouTube, “mainly so I’d get to eat my lunch at school rather than having to sing all through my break”. It became something of a playground ritual, with the 15 year-old performing on demand. The next day, she kept bringing up her friends and insisting Maynard sing for them. “There was this one day, four years ago, when I was walking down the road after school, and I was singing to myself and messing about with my friends,” he recalls.Īn older girl from school turned around and said, “Boy, you can sing!” And it all happened more or less by accident. He was number two in the charts before he played a gig. He had tens of millions of online hits before he even signed a record deal.
Maynard is a bedroom star, a karaoke crooning YouTube phenomenon. Then this morning I found a little note stuck to my door saying, ‘I live right across from you, can I get a picture real soon?’ So I’ll probably have to move again. I had to move from my house because fans found out where I lived. My average trip around the corner to get a pint of milk might include being followed, screamed at, having my song sung at me, pictures being taken. One fan just kind of grabbed me then all of them were chasing and trying to get pictures and autographs and wouldn’t let me go. “It only takes one person to overstep the line, then they all do,” he says, wide-eyed but smiling. He is a 19-year-old pop sensation from Brighton and things are getting a bit scary for him now. If you want to know what the future of music looks like, take a peek at Conor Maynard.
