Faryl Smith (born 23 July 1995) is a British
mezzo-soprano who rose to fame after appearing on the second series of the
ITV television talent show
Britain's Got Talent in 2008. She received praise throughout the competition, and although the favourite to win after the second round, she finished outside the top three in the live final on 31 May. During the competition, she was tutored by singing coach
Yvie Burnett and received offers from various record labels. After the show, she, unlike other finalists, did not sign with
Simon Cowell's
Syco, although she did appear on fellow finalist
Andrew Johnston's debut album,
One Voice.
