Young Box rocker Kyle Condon could be knocking on the door to success, after recording his first single at the age of 10.

 

The Box Primary School pupil, diagnosed ADHD and Asperger’s syndrome, first got the musical bug when he won the Box’s Got Talent competition at the village’s jubilee celebration last year, performing his version of Knocking on Heaven’s Door.

He said: “When I did the show, there were adults there and people who had written their own songs. I was really nervous, as I was first on, and I was the youngest person.

Kyle’s mother, Kaz Lammie, said: “Music really helps with his condition. We’ve noticed a big difference. When he is getting hyperactive, I will suggest he go play his guitar, to direct his concentration somewhere else.

 

“With Asperger’s, he is very obsessive, which is a good thing, because once he sets his mind to learning something he just goes on to do it.

 

“It has been really beneficial and it’s been a great focus for him. It’s been almost like a therapy.”

 

The youngster has been playing guitar for less than a year, since getting his first instrument for his birthday, and is keen to pursue a career in music.

 

… The single is available to download from iTunes and Amazon. Proceeds will go towards charities supporting the two conditions.
