Andrew Johnston, the 14-year-old soprano sensation, is preparing to release his debut album, One Voice.

Despite not winning Britain's Got Talent, Johnston's voice stunned the nation and judge Simon Cowell, who signed him up to his record label.

Andrew now follows in the footsteps of Paul Potts by releasing a solo album, which is expected to sell well.

The choirboy used to be bullied at school because of his majestic voice, but has been so busy touring and recording that he has hardly had time to be at school at all.

Andrew said of the X Factor judge: "He kept in touch with my music producer, almost every day.

"The album is a mixture between classical and pop, including John Lennon's Imagine."
