This adorable video shows a one-year-old baby singing his heart out to the traditional gospel song 'this little light of mine'. <br /><br />Mum Mada Cantwell, 27, filmed little Taidgh holding on to the TV stand as he stares at the television and sings along to a cartoon. <br /><br />Taidgh, who turned one in September last year, started singing before he could even speak. <br /><br />Mada says Taidgh has been singing since he could make a sound and always sings along to nursery rhymes or songs from cartoons. <br /><br />Taidgh is a quick learner - he can listen to a song and by bedtime he has already memorised parts of it. <br /><br />Mada, a payroll technician and avid singer herself, said: "He's always been singing, ever since he could make a sound it's been a harmony. <br /><br />"I just encourage him to sing. I might sign him up for singing classes in the future, but only if that's what he wants.<br /><br />"I do think I might have a little musician on my hands."<br /><br />Mada, from Kilkenny, Ireland, thinks that Taidgh's talent comes from his family.<br /><br />Mada herself sings and dances and Taidgh's father, Larry, is a bit of a dancer himself.<br /><br />She added: "I'm always singing and dancing around the house, and his dad and brother are too."<br /><br />Larry, 31, who works in financial services, said: "I'm his number one groupie - his biggest fan."<br /><br />While the video has accrued over a million views, Taidgh isn't as much of a performer in real life and doesn't often sing in front of others.<br /><br />Mada added: "He sings every day, but he's a bit shy, so he doesn't really sing in front of other people.<br /><br />"The reception he's had on Tiktok has been amazing. I'm the proudest mum. Everyone's been very sweet. I've seen other parents asking about singing lessons."
