Exton Teen Wows ‘America’s Got Talent’ Judges with a Cover of Queen

By

Dylan Zangwill, a 14-year-old musician from Exton, stunned America’s Got Talent judges and audiences at his recent audition. Zangwill delivered a powerhouse rendition of Queen’s “Somebody to Love,” writes Tina Benitez-Eves for American Songwriter.

The young rocker belted out the popular classic during the July 20 auditions, earning standing ovations from the majority of judges and the audience.

Prior to performing, Zangwill told the judges he usually does not openly tell people he is a musician.

“I like to hear what other people are doing,” he said. “I’m not a big fan of talking about myself that much.”

Zangwill began singing as soon as he learned to speak. He also learned to play several instruments early on, teaching himself piano, guitar, and organ.

The teen performer mostly covers classic rock songs, primarily from The Beatles and Queen, and is heavily influenced by David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd.

He started to write his own music during quarantine.

The talented teen has appeared in several local musical productions, including The Hunchback of Notre Dame and You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown.

He is currently busy working on his debut EP.
