In 2017, when he was 9 years old, Dane, who has Down syndrome, was in the car when the Whitney Houston classic “I have nothing” came on.
This is clearly a huge favorite of Dane’s and he started to sing. Little did he know his beautiful performance was being recorded.
Millions of people have viewed the clip on YouTube, and if you haven’t seen it already you need to, it’s amazing.
Dane Miller gained worldwide attention in 2017 when his father filmed him during a road trip.
The then 9-year-old boy, whose greatest love in life is music, heard a Whitney Houston classic from the 1992 movie The Bodyguard and started singing along.
“We did just watch a documentary on [Houston] about a month ago, and so he started downloading her songs and that was the one he got stuck on,” Dane’s mother Danna Miller told CBS.
Dane sings along beautifully and doesn’t miss a beat, delivering a performance that has touched the hearts of millions of people around the world.
Thousands have also left comments encouraging this singing sensation.
“Just reading the comments, they’re so sweet. I’m getting emotional,” Danna told CBS.
