Johnny Flynn: dreamboat


This 11 year old singer/songwriter - ok, supposedly he's 26 now, but really. I say 17, tops. Regardless, the South African-born, London-raised and based dreamboat belts out lovely lilting tunes and Shakespeare - inspired lyrics; he says that his album "A Larum"comes from the Shakespearean stage direction "alaruum of", meaning that some noise or disturbance was happening offstage. 

"I quite liked the idea that the noise happening offstage was this album," he said.

k, that doesn't really make much sense Johnny because this album came out in 2008 and Shakespeare was directing most of his plays in the late 1500s but we'll let it slide beacause 
a) you're adorable and talented 
b) you used to act in an all-male Shakespearean troupe called Propeller

so, to the music...
