Beginning his career at the age of 12, Aled became one of the world’s most successful boy sopranos, releasing 12 hit albums in four years with the defining moment being Walking In The Air, the hit song from the family-favourite, Christmas animated film The Snowman.
He has also forged an extensive career as a TV and radio presenter, with his own shows on BBC Radio 2 and 3 and BBC Radio Wales. He hosts the most-listened-to show on Sunday on Classic FM and has been a firm favourite presenting BBC1 Songs of Praise for nearly 20 years.
Most recently, Aled teamed up with Russell Watson and released a stunning new joint album, In Harmony, which entered the UK album charts at No 8 and was the biggestselling classical album of 2018.
