He is the first child of Filipino nurses Marinel (née Gonzales) and Lyndon Espanto, who emigrated from Nueva Vizcaya.[2] Philippines,[10] He also has a younger sister named Lynelle Anne G. Espanto.[11] Despite living in Canada, his parents taught him Filipino language, particularly Tagalog, and he remains fluent with it. He said, "When I went home from school, when I'm still speaking English they will tell me 'you are not in the school anymore, you're in the house, you should speak Tagalog' so that's how I became fluent in Tagalog."[12][Note 1]

Espanto started singing at the age of two. In a Manila Bulletin interview, Espanto stated that: "When I was little, I would listen to some songs and I'd try to copy the tune to it."[13] As a toddler, Espanto serenaded his parents with the tunes from The Lion King or Sleeping Beauty in their home, which led to his relatives to discover his singing potential and urge him to pursue and hone his raw talent.[12][14][15] His parents were supportive of his dreams and talents, his father taught him the basics of singing, and his mother who was a choreographer during high school days, helped him infused dance into his singing performance.[13][15]

Education

At age 12, Darren Espanto attended Grade 6 at St. Jude Elementary in Calgary,[3] but went to the Philippines in 2014 for The Voice Kids. After getting through the auditions, he returned to Canada to write his advanced test in St. Cyril as he will come back to the Philippines. During this time, his father was with him, while his mother stayed in Canada with his little sister, Lynelle Anne Espanto.[11]

He, along with the other "The Voice Kids" finalists received a ₱350,000 scholarship from Eton International School.[16]

Influences

Espanto cites music inspirations as varied as Bruno Mars, Beyoncé, Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson.[13] Espanto stated in an interview with push.com.ph that he is truly being inspired by a lot of Filipino singers, "I idolized Martin Nievera, Gary Valenciano, Jed Madela, Lani Misalucha, coach Sarah Geronimo.[Note 2][17]

In 2012, ten-year-old Espanto auditioned for YTV's reality television The Next Star Season 5, singing Bruno Mars' "Grenade". One of the judges, Keshia Chanté, got emotional and told him that his voice was 'unbelievable' and 'controlled'. Judge Mark Spicoluk, on the other hand, stated that he 'lacked stage presence'. Nevertheless, after Chante asked him if he was ready, she and Tara Oram said yes, earning him the 'golden ticket'.

He continued to be selected onto its Top 6, singing pop songs such as Rihanna's "Only Girl (in the World)"[18] and Maroon 5's "Payphone"[1] among others.

Espanto eventually advanced to the finals after singing Whitney Houston's "One Moment in Time" during the live semi-finals held at the Newport Performing Arts Theater in Resorts World Manila.[25] He was the second one to receive the highest votes, after Lyca Gairanod.[26] Salonga, one of the coaches commented that Espanto is a phenomenal while his mentor Geronimo stated that he was 'a winner and a complete package'.[27]
