What happens when a boy from Sunderland captures the hearts of millions with a single song? In early 2025, Mickey Callisto became a household name on Britain’s Got Talent by bringing back the theatrical magic of the eighties. Now in mid-January 2026 he is preparing for the massive Queen Forever World Tour.
Yet, even with global fame calling, see how he is spending his time helping unknown artists get their big break. He has partnered with Skiddle for a weekly series called 5 Under 5 to find hidden gems with fewer than five thousand plays.
Mickey sits down to share a “pop-leaning selection” that feels both fresh and wonderfully familiar. There is a sparkle in his eyes as he describes these bright melodies and nostalgic textures.

The fans are absolutely pouring their love into the comments section. One person called him an icon, while another viewer mentioned how much they love his gorgeous singing voice. You can see how much he means to the people in Liverpool and the North West.
That same sense of wonder led him to perform a song that feels like a trip through the galaxy. He stepped away from the glitz of the tour to record a special session at the World Museum in Liverpool. This transition from a playlist curator to a cosmic performer shows just how deep his creativity goes.
