I’d say I felt more comfortable performing just in front of my parents and the camera, compared to what I imagine I would feel performing solo to a live audience,” says Orbeta, who enjoys rap and metal in addition to jazz. So he decided to make the best of this year’s virtual contest, aiming for something special. He says he was urged to audition for Morristown Onstage after being nominated as the Mayo Center’s Music Student of the Month.

Here's how old Aidan Gallagher, and the Umbrella Academy Five/Aidan Gallagher age issue explained.Playing just one instrument doesn’t do the trick for Aidan Orbeta. From this moment, Five always looks young because he cannot age and, in waiting for the other members of The Umbrella Academy to grow, became an increasingly more mature personality that juxtaposed his appearance. Reginald did warn him against the idea, but Five, at 13 years old, traveled to an apocalyptic future, setting up the events for season 1. The reason for his young appearance was due to his attempt to time travel at too young an age before he had gotten to grips with his powers. It turned out that the Five Umbrella Academy character was actually a time-traveling assassin who worked for The Commission, an organization that purported to maintain the continuity of the space-time continuum. Number Five was introduced in season 1, but his young age in comparison to his siblings was most noticeable. ![]()
