Jackie Evancho has Company – 10-Year-Old Vocal Phenom Oliver Richman Gets Ready for Greatness in His First Interview Ever

He’s a mere 10 years old but his voice is clearly going to propel him to greatness. Oliver Richman loves singing and you can hear it in his voice. Here is his very first interview, along with his mother and manager Lisa Dawn Miller, daughter of the great Motown songwriter Ron Miller, and his step-father Sandy Hackett, son of legendary comedian Buddy Hackett. 

Miller is herself a singer, writer and producer and Hackett is a well-known comedian, actor, writer and producer. Miller and Hackett are also the producers of Sandy Hackett’s Rat Pack Show currently running at the Sahara Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas and scheduled to open in Egypt in December 2010.

Oliver’s grandfather Ron Miller wrote songs recorded by Barbra Streisand, Stevie Wonder, Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Diana Ross, Celine Dion, Michael Bolton, Michael Bublé,  Harry Connick, Jr. and even Justin Bieber.

His pedigree is rich and his talent is very real. Just last week, he signed with Jodie Bowman a well-known Broadway agent from KSR Talent to launch his career on the Great White Way.

Listen here to him tell Family First about his love of singing, his favorite songs and Broadway shows, where he has performed in his career so far and much more. Also, don’t miss this holiday season when he sings his grandfather’s song “One Little Christmas Tree.”  If you know where any snow is, Sandy Hackett would like you to send it to California for their filming of the video!
