The Choir.
Early-life:
Gareth Edmund Malone was born in London on November 9, 1975. He was obsessed with singing from a young age. When he was 10, his family moved to Bournemouth and that was where his love of choirs began. He studied drama at the University of East Anglia and completed a postgraduate vocal studies course at the Royal Academy of Music.
Career:
Malone worked for the London Symphony Orchestra from 2001 until 2009. He ran their youth choir and community choir. His big break came in 2006 when he presented the first series of The Choir on BBC Two. He was asked to create a choir from scratch at a comprehensive school in Middlesex. He auditioned 160 pupils for 30 places. After only nine months' training, he took them to China to compete in the 2006 World Choir Games. The series was a big success and since then he has presented various takes on the same format, including The Choir: Boys Don't Sing, The Choir: Unsung Town, The Choir: Military Wives, and Sing While You Work. He has also made a version of The Choir for the American market and appeared on Who Do You Think You Are?
Quote:
'A passion for singing is the vital ingredient in any performance. As an audience member you want to know that people love getting together to sing.'
