Rhydian Roberts, popularly known as Rhydian, is the classically trained Welsh baritone who first came to the public's attention through his spellbinding performances on X Factor.
His first album, entitled 'Rhydian', went double platinum and his second, 'O Fortuna', was nominated in the Classical BRITS for Best Album of the Year 2010. Rhydian's repertoire draws on every genre and style; the high energy pop & rock of 'Go West' and 'Somebody To Love'; the heart-stirring musical theatre of 'Somewhere' and 'The Impossible Dream'; the classical purity of 'Benedictus' and 'Adiemus' to the very Welsh 'Myfanwy' and 'Yma O Hyd'.
Rhydian also starred in a major arena tour of The War of the Worlds - Alive On Stage!
Rhydian has become known for the power and sensitivity of his voice, for passion which captivates and for performances so exhilarating they leave his audience entranced.
Rhydian is currently starring in the UK tour of We Will Rock You and his third album is due for release by conehead records in June
Rhydian is available for personal appearances, corporate events and functions and appears on Garston Entertainments` website by kind permission and arrangement with his management company RJR
