He subsequently went solo, and his debut album Tenore was released in the UK on 13 October 2014. His follow up Believe being released on 19 August 2016. Early lifeAntoine was born to John, a police inspector, and Tracy, a housewife in Hainault,Essex.[1] At the age of 11, he enrolled at West Hatch High School in Chigwell and met singing coach Jenny Ewington and head of music Ginette Brown.[1] He stated that “I started having lessons with Mrs Ewington, and just took to it. It was so nurturing. She was inspirational, and she became a fantastic friend”.[1] Around the age of 13, after his voice broke, Ewington selected Bring Him Home from Les Misérables for him, which he performed at the 2010 Stratford and East London Music Festival, and was awarded "Young Musician of The Year".[2] He also sang Ave Maria, which he performed at the Royal Festival Hall in London as part of the Rotary "Youth Makes Music" event in 2011.[1] At 14, he auditioned for a junior place at the four major music conservatories in London and after being accepted at all of them, he chose the Royal Academy of Music.[1] At West Hatch, Brown encouraged him into concert singing to help his shyness. "Jonathan came into his own” she said, “All the students would see him and say that he was the boy with the incredible voice.[3] He first sang the duet Time To Say Goodbye with a friend, and Brown also asked him and Charlotte Jaconelli to sing The Prayer at her wedding in 2011.[3] It was at this time that the duo Charlotte and Jonathan began. Career2012–14: "Jonathan and Charlotte"In 2012, an audition video was sent to the talent show Britain’s Got Talent. They performed together in the Series 6 audition held in London, and their performance was broadcast on 24 March 2012. Performing as Charlotte and Jonathan, they sang The Prayer. They participated in the semi-final which was held on 7 May 2012, singing Caruso, written by Lucio Dalla. In the final, held on 12 May 2012, they appeared 11th, again performing The Prayer, and received a standing ovation for their performance. The duo finished second to the dancing dog act Ashleigh and Pudsey.[4] On 13 May 2012, the day after the Britain's Got Talent final, it was confirmed that Simon Cowell was in negotiations to offer them a £1 million recording contract with his record label, Syco.[5] The pair were later offered a contract,[6] and released their debut album Together on 24 September 2012 in the UK and 30 October 2012 in the US. Their second album Perhaps Love was released on 14 October 2013 having switched from SyCo/Columbia records to Sony Classical and was described as an album of covers that also contained classical songs and interpretations of modern songs.[7] 2014–present: Solo careerIn February 2014, the duo decided to split up after both were offered solo record deals.[8] In a statement on their website, they said: We have had the most exciting journey together ever since meeting at West Hatch High School in 2006 and are so happy for each other. To come second on BGT and sell over quarter of a million albums was beyond our wildest dreams. To now be offered our own solo record deals by Sony Classical is the most exciting thing ever and we are thrilled to be going back into the recording studio so soon. For those that voted for us, bought our CDs and saw us in concert – thank you. We hope to see you soon at our own shows. Love Jonathan and Charlotte.[9]Antoine performed in an album pre-release Balcony tour of the UK, which was followed by an appearance at the closing concert of iTunes Festival 2014, after having been invited by Plácido Domingo.[1][10] He has also started a solo career in the USA and performed at the 2014 Muhammad Ali Celebrity Fight Night in Arizona, California, and Florida.[11] His album Tenore (Italian for Tenor) was released in the UK on 13 October 2014.
