On December 19, 1991, Galbraith was born in Kent, UK to Siobhan and Alec Galbraith. His father is an Englander and his mother is an Irish. He has a younger sister Bernadette. His best friend is his elder cousin Joe.
When Galbraith was a young boy, his grandfather, who played several musical instruments in a band, took Galbraith to fleadhs (concerts). The mix of Scottish and Irish musical traditions.
Galbraith insisted on performing spontaneously at the annual Rochester Dickens Festival, a two-day extravaganza with his sister Ayannah where people were invited to dress up in Victorian costumes to celebrate the life and times of the famous author Charles Dickens and his links with their town. Galbraith, dressed up as a chimney sweep, started singing. Soon after this he started to enter local talent contests and within a year he had won 15 titles and more than £1,000.
As a result of his success in the talent shows, the major recording companies soon heard about Galbraith and he was signed to his first recording contract in England. His first recording was "Walking in the Air", which was released on a special Christmas Hits album, also featuring songs by Westlife, Elton John and Elvis Presley. Among some of his most memorable performances have been the Queen's Jubilee at St Paul's Cathedral, when he sang "Amazing Grace" accompanied by the St Paul's Choir and a performance in front of more than 22,000 people at an Elton John concert. His first self-titled album, Declan, with Irish traditional songs as well as specially written material became a big success and charted in the U.K. and Ireland. Within the year of release, it had soon sold 200,000 copies in Germany.
Another big success came during a nationwide tour of Young Voices concerts when breaking the Guinness World Record. It was at the Odyssey Arena, Belfast in December 2002 when he sang live with some 10,000 children and was also simultaneously linked, by radio and satellite, with more than 80,000 children in their schools all over the UK, who accompanied him in achieving the world’s largest choral sing. His talent and reputation came to the attention of media mogul Haim Saban who signed Galbraith to his music group's new record label, Starwatch, and selected Germany as the first site to launch their first album. Galbraith parted company with Starwatch in February 2010 and is reportedly battling major contractual issues that prevent any releases for the time being.
For some considerable time Declan have worked on his music career again. In 2014 he was planning a comeback. He has started to present his new, self-composed songs in small clubs. Currently he is working in the studio.
In my dream, children sing
Trong giấc mơ của tôi, những đứa trẻ hát
A song of love for every boy and girl
Một khúc ca tình yêu dành cho tất cả mọi người
The sky is blue and fields are green
Bầu trời thật trong xanh và những cánh đồng xanh ngát
And laughter is the language of the world
Và tiếng cười là ngôn ngữ chung cho cả thế giới này
Then I wake and all I see
Rồi tôi thức giấc và tất cả những gì tôi thấy là
Is a world full of people in need
Một thế giới còn rất nhiều người cần giúp đỡ
Tell me why does it have to be like this?
Hãy nói với tôi tại sao thế giới này lại trở nên như vậy?
Tell me why is there something I have missed?
Hãy nói với tôi tại sao có điều gì đó tôi đã bỏ lỡ?
Tell me why 'cause I don't understand
Hãy nói với tôi tại sao bởi tôi không thể hiểu được
When so many need somebody
Khi rất nhiều người cần một ai đó giúp đỡ
We don't give a helping hand. Tell me why?
Nhưng chúng ta chẳng giúp đỡ một ai. Hãy nói với tôi tại sao?
Everyday I ask myself
Mỗi ngày tôi tự hỏi bản thân mình
What will I have to do to be a man?
Tôi phải làm những gì để trở thành một con người thực sự?
Do I have to stand and fight
Tôi có cần phải đứng lên đấu tranh
To prove to everybody who I am?
Để chứng minh cho mọi người thấy tôi là ai?
Is that what my life is for
Chẳng lẽ cuộc đời tôi chỉ để
To waste in a world full of war?
Lãng phí trong một thế giới ngập tràn chiến tranh?
Tell me why does it have to be like this?
Hãy nói với tôi tại sao thế giới này lại trở nên như vậy?
Tell me why is there something I have missed?
Hãy nói với tôi tại sao, có điều gì đó tôi đã bỏ lỡ?
Tell me why 'cause I don't understand
Hãy nói với tôi tại sao bởi tôi không thể hiểu được
When so many need somebody
Khi rất nhiều người cần một ai đó giúp đỡ
We don't give a helping hand. Tell me why?
Nhưng chúng ta chẳng giúp đỡ một ai. Hãy nói với tôi tại sao?
Tell me why?
Hãy nói với tôi tại sao?
Just tell me why, why, why?
Chỉ cần nói với tôi tại sao, tại sao, tại sao?
Tell me why does it have to be like this?
Hãy nói với tôi tại sao thế giới này lại trở nên như vậy?
Tell me why...
Hãy nói với tôi tại sao...
Tell Me Why
