A TALENTED youngster from Dartford has wowed judges in a teen music competition.

Seventeen-year-old Danielle Burton has made it through to the regional finals of TeenStar, a new talent competition for young people which thousands have entered.

Danielle, from Greenhithe, in Dartford, is now in the running for a place at the national finals at the O2 in Greenwich.

TeenStar events coordinator Chris Grayston said: “We are looking to find an act that has something unique to offer, another star like Birdy that can go all the way, with both the ability to deliver a strong live performance but also potential to become a professional recording artist.

“There is so much talent out there I’m sure we can find that star again.”

The later stages of the competition  also provide acts with the opportunity to impress guests from record labels, agencies and the entertainment industry as well as judges from the BBC.
