Have you seen The Mini Warbler?
Yahoo! Philippines
With upwards of two million hits on YouTube, ‘The Mini Warbler’ is set to steal your hearts more than Blaine from Glee did.
Four-year old Pinoy, Kellen Sarmiento, skyrocketed to fame after the video of him performing songs in a Warbler uniform went viral. In the video, he is seen imitating the performances of his idol Darren Criss, who plays the leader of The Warblers on hit American TV show “Glee”.
Even though Kellen seems like a bona fide Warbler, he is as shy as any 4-year old in real life. His mother Emily Mirador Sarmiento, talked about how he would refuse to perform when asked by family and friends.
“But when they're gone, it's over, he gets into his role and he does his thing," Emily said.
In an interview with ABS-CBN, the preschooler awkwardly revealed that his favourite show was Glee and he aspires to be soccer player. He also said that his dad sings as well, though Kellen is the better singer.

Even before becoming famous as ‘The Mini Warbler’, Kellen had already shown signs of his talent in performing. From the age of 2, he would mimic performances by the Black Eyed Peas and choir group Beelzebub from the TV show “The Sing Off”.
"I don't know if it's in the genes, but it's in his genes for a long time. Ever since he was two. Before The Warblers, he liked the Black Eyed Peas... He's got a great memory. I wish I had it," said Emily.
Kellen had help going viral from non-other than Criss himself. Criss loved Sarmiento’s video and t
weeted it. It was also tweeted by the Official Glee Twitter account.

"That was great. We're big fans of Darren and The Warblers, so just to see that made our day," said Emily.
