Eleven-year-old Olly Pearson, a student from Wrexham, took to the Britain’s Got Talent stage with a humble yet huge ambition: to become the best guitarist in the world. Despite admitting to feeling “quite nervous,” he quickly charmed the judges, revealing he had picked up the guitar at the age of seven and learned the basics from his granddad. When asked about his biggest influence, Olly immediately cited Angus Young from AC/DC, proving he had serious rock and roll roots, much to the excitement of the judging panel.

Olly launched into an explosive performance, featuring a guitar solo and vocal rock track that showcased skills far beyond his years. The young rocker demonstrated incredible command over his instrument, moving across the stage with the energy and swagger of a seasoned professional. What truly astonished the judges was his maturity and passion; he transformed into a completely different person when he started playing, pouring his heart out. His performance was an absolute masterclass in rock showmanship, earning a thunderous standing ovation from the entire audience.

The judges were in utter disbelief. One judge exclaimed, “I have never ever seen anything like that in my life,” confirming that “A Star is Born.” Another panelist highlighted that Olly already possesses his own “distinct sound,” something that usually takes professionals decades to achieve. The atmosphere was so electric that the audience loudly chanted for a Golden Buzzer. Recognizing the raw, undeniable talent and potential, one of the judges smashed the Golden Buzzer, sending Olly straight to the live semi-finals as a truly deserving winner.
