Cruz Beckham, the 11-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham, has released his debut single 'If Every Day Was Christmas'. The song received its first radio play on Wednesday before being made available online, with profits from sales going to Global's Make Some Noise charity, which supports disadvantaged young people in the UK.
The young singer is being managed by Scooter Braun, who also signed Justin Bieber. Bieber was 13 when he released his first single in 2009. Cruz launched his own Instagram account earlier this week, posting images and videos to promote the single, including covers of 'Hopeful' by Twista featuring Faith Evans and 'When I'm Gone', made famous by Anna Kendrick in the film Pitch Perfect.
Speaking to Capital presenter Dave Berry, Cruz said the single combines 'two of my favourite things - singing and Christmas'. His father David, present during the interview, expressed pride in his son's musical venture, stating, 'He's having fun, he's enjoying it.'
However, the move drew criticism from Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan, who questioned why Cruz was not in school and accused his parents of putting him in the public domain while demanding privacy. Scooter Braun hit back on Twitter, defending Cruz as 'an 11-year-old who wanted to make a song to help other kids' and calling Morgan a 'jackass'.
Last week, Cruz's older brother Brooklyn announced he is releasing his own photography book.
