Darren Lyndon Espanto[fn 1] (born May 24, 2001) is a Filipino-Canadian singer, actor, and television personality.

He made his first television appearance on YTV's reality TV competition, The Next Star, in 2012 and rose to prominence after joining the first season of The Voice Kids Philippines. He was signed to ABS-CBN's Star Magic talent agency[2] and has since developed a successful music career in the Philippines.

In 2024, Espanto joined the cast of presenters on It's Showtime.

Personal life

[edit]

Darren Lyndon Espanto was born in Calgary, Canada on May 24, 2001. He is the first child of Filipino registered nurses Marinel Gonzales and Lyndon Espanto, who emigrated to Canada from Isabela, Philippines.[3][4] Espanto also has a younger sister, Lynelle.

He speaks Tagalog.

Espanto started singing at the age of three.[5] As a toddler, he serenaded his parents with the tunes like Hakuna Matata from The Lion King. When his family realized his talents, they urged him to pursue singing as a career.

On April 16, 2024, Espanto told Boy Abunda in Fast Talk with Boy Abunda that he had a one year "puppy love" for Kyline Alcantara, romantic feelings for Jayda Avanzado, and a "Getting to know you" relationship with Jillian Ward. He claimed he only had a friendship with Cassy Legaspi. Avanzado confirmed to Cristy Fermin that she and Espanto had "romantic feelings" with each other.[6][7][8]

In August 2024, Espanto underwent an emergency appendectomy.[9]

In October, Juan Karlos Labajo said the lawsuit filed by Espanto's mother Marinel Gonzales had been dismissed. The case is anchored on Labajo's alleged deleted tweet on gayness at its finest.[10]

Education

[edit]

Espanto, along with the other The Voice Kids finalists, received a ₱350,000 scholarship from Eton International School.[11][12] Upon moving to the Philippines, he attended Eton International School and later began homeschooling under The Homeschool of Asia Pacific, where he completed his senior high school with honors. In Grade 11, he was awarded with second honors. In Grade 12, he graduated with first honors and received two special awards, the Achiever Award and the Excellence in Music and Arts Award.[13]

Career

[edit]

At age 10, Espanto won during the Main Edition Finals of the Pinoy Singing Sensation competition in Edmonton on August 20, 2011.[14][unreliable source?]

2012–2013: The Next Star

[edit]
Main article: The Next Star § Season 5

In 2012, ten-year-old Espanto auditioned for the fifth season of YTV's reality television The Next Star, 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 reached the competition's Top 6, the youngest finalist in the show's history to do so.[5] His performances on the show included renditions of Rihanna's "Only Girl (in the World)"[15] and Maroon 5's "Payphone"[16] among others. He also had his own single and music video entitled "Gotta Give A Little Extra",[17] as well as two other singles, "Now"[18] and "Oh Oh Santa"[19] with the other five finalists. Ultimately, he lost to 14-year-old Brooklyn Roebuck, after singing his own single during the finals. [20]

In 2013, Espanto was cast in a guest-starring role on YTV's Life with Boys.[21] It was his first acting job.

2014: The Voice Kids

[edit]
Main article: The Voice Kids (Philippines season 1)

During the auditions of the inaugural season of ABS-CBN's The Voice Kids, Espanto performed Jessie J's "Domino".[4][22] Coaches Sarah Geronimo and Bamboo Mañalac both pressed their buttons for him, vocalizing that he 'can be groomed to be a recording artist, a total package'.[22][23] Although Espanto revealed that he was Mañalac's front act during one of his concerts in Canada, he chose Geronimo as his coach, stating that she could help him a lot in the music industry.[16][24]

Espanto advanced to the finals after singing Whitney Houston's "One Moment in Time" during the live semi-finals.[24] He received the second-highest number of votes, after Lyca Gairanod.[25] Lea Salonga commented that Espanto was phenomenal, while his mentor, Geronimo, stated that he was 'a winner and a complete package'.[26] He also sang "Somebody To Love" by Justin Bieber alongside other Star Magic artists.

In the finale, during the first round which was a power ballad theme,[3] Espanto performed Basil Valdez's song "Ngayon" where he received a standing ovation.[27] Lea Salonga left a warning to older performers, saying: "To every person Darren idolized, this is a warning to all of you: this kid will outshine you someday".[Note 1] Once again, Geronimo praised him and said that despite his talent, Espanto never showed superiority and instead listened to his coach.[27] On the final round of the competition, Espanto accompanied himself with a piano during his performance of "You Are My Song" while having a duet with the original singer Martin Nievera, where received another standing ovation.[28] At the end of the competition, he once again came in second after Lyca Gairanod.[29]
