The third-grader, DCorey Johnson, caused a stir when he displayed his passion for singing during the school’s morning announcements.

The 9-year-old boy’s serious pipes went viral when the school’s principal shared it on social media.

Principal Alecia Dunn said, “His teacher told me he could sing, but I had not had the opportunity to hear him until the day he sang The National Anthem. He was absolutely amazing! His infectious smile and personality are even bigger than his voice.”

The short one-and-a-half-minute video, featured on the school’s Facebook page, shows Johnson singing into a phone’s microphone.

The boy is seriously talented and passionate about his singing, which was clearly visible on his face as he belted out “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

Verse of the Day

“And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. So they said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet: ‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, Are not the least among the rulers of Judah; For out of you shall come a Ruler Who will shepherd My people Israel.’ ””
