A WILLIAMSTOWN High School student is becoming a big hit with his performance on Channel 7's Australia's Got Talent.
Bobby Andonov, 15, hopes the performance will catapult him to fame in the music industry.
The affable young man spoke of his dream as he prepared for a singing lesson at a studio in Williamstown last Friday.
Andonov has the voice of an angel, is blessed with good looks and has a friendly attitude that will serve him well in the cut-throat world of show business.
"I really enjoy performing, it's something I've done since I was nine years old," he says.
"I remember the first time I got up on stage, I was so nervous I couldn't think straight. But the experience I've gained on AGT has been incredible.
"I'm getting used to all the media attention, too. It's a lot of fun. Andonov says he has plenty of support from his family and friends and is relishing the attention he receives at school.
"My family have been fantastic and it's funny, but the girls at school seem to notice me a lot more.
"The teachers are cutting me some slack, too, which is really good, because I've got a lot of commitments with the show and having to rehearse, so I really appreciate that."
Andonov has had a burning ambition to become a performer, but realises there is plenty of hard work to be done before his dream becomes a reality.
"It's something I'm totally focused on, but I know that I have to have a back-up plan in case it doesn't work out," he says.
"My brother is an architect and it's something that I'm interested in, too; it's something that I could study while I'm singing."
