親朋好友都深信他的音樂天賦和熱忱來源於他的祖父Ben。他的祖父曾參加過樂隊,會幾種樂器。他曾帶年幼的戴克倫去觀看自己參與的「Fleadhs」(音樂會)。蘇格蘭、愛爾蘭音樂傳統的融合給予了戴克倫靈感,並最終成為他早期的音樂啟蒙,迪克蘭以他的嗓音和對嗓音的控制能力而聞名於世。
當年祖父駐唱於酒吧演奏愛爾蘭傳統音樂、風笛和鼓,孫子常常都是耳濡目染,更曾祖孫同台上台演唱愛爾蘭民歌,由此戴克倫開始了他的演唱生涯。他的首次公開演出是在他七歲那年,他堅持要在一年一度的狄更斯節上演出。
據報道,當他開始演唱時「人們都瘋狂了(
"the
crowd went wild.")」。[1]
不久之後戴克倫開始加入當地的業餘歌手演唱會,僅在一年之中他就在15次競賽中獲得成功並贏得超過1000英鎊的獎金。[1]
Galbraith insisted on performing spontaneously at the annual Rochester Dickens Festival, a two-day extravaganza with his sister Ayannah where people were invited to dress up in Victorian costumes to celebrate the life and times of the famous author Charles Dickens and his links with their town. Galbraith, dressed up as a chimney sweep, started singing. Soon after this he started to enter local talent contests and within a year he had won 15 titles and more than £1,000.[citation needed]
