Abandoned 19-year-old stutterer delivers moving performance of “unchained melody”

Bullying is always an unfair thing for any person to go through. This is what Craig Harrison has grown up used to in his school life. Other students laugh at him because he stutters whenever he speaks. Despite all those criticisms, he has never stopped pursuing his passion – he loves singing and his love for songs cannot be stopped by anyone.

The 19-year-old boy from Melbourne, Australia, swept the whole country off its feet with his silky tones and heart-warming vocals. From his rendition of “Unchained Melody”, to Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling In Love” to his own original single, “More Than A Dream; Harrison has been setting the charts alight.

Harrison shared his story with the jury and the audience at his first stage performance of the world-known show The Voice Australia: His father abandoned the family when he was six, which compounded the vocal stutter Harrison was born with. But one thing he and his mother discovered early on is that when he sings, the stutter disappears.
