I’ve always had a deep love for theater, and I truly admire the level of confidence it takes to step onto a stage and perform, whether it’s singing or acting.

It takes years of practice and training for adults to reach the point where they can effortlessly act, sing, and dance on stage. However, the young performer you’re about to hear about is a remarkable exception. He’s just three years old, making him the youngest person I’ve ever seen perform the National Anthem. Despite his age, this little boy is already captivating hearts with his incredible talent. In fact, the video of his performance has already amassed nearly half a million views.

Drake Winslow, at just three years old, holds the distinction of being the youngest individual to ever sing the National Anthem during a School Day game in Syracuse, New York. This confident young performer delivered a flawless rendition of the song in front of a crowd of 6,000 spectators, who responded with a standing ovation for his outstanding performance.

Throughout Drake’s performance, his mother, Chelsea, stood supportively behind him. Reflecting on the moment, she remarked, “I just think he’s too little to realize how big of a deal it is.”

Chelsea added that they try not to make a big fuss over the performance and keep things calm for Drake. They don’t ask him if he feels nervous because, at this point, he doesn’t really understand what anxiety is. According to his mother, while Drake enjoys singing at home, the “Star-Spangled Banner” has always been his favorite song.

According to Tip Hero, Drake is already eager to sing it again.
