  A few words for Nicolas

  Nicolas Alves is 13 years old and although he comes from Torres Vedras. He lives with his parents and his brothers.The parents' family is Brazilian, but he was born in England which he left at the age of 10.
  

  He started singing when he was four. At 8, he began singing at music school in England.As a kid, I watched videos of Michael Jackson and Fred Mercury and always thought I wanted to be a singer like them.In his spare time he likes to play guitar and play with his brothers.

  The audience got to know him better with his participation in the Voice Kids Portugal wheere he saw three chairs turninng for him in the blind auditions and him joining Carolina Deslandes' team. In the final show he performed impressively the song 'Beggin'.
