Peter Auty

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Auty (born 1969) is a former choirboy who sang with the St Paul's Cathedral and an opera singer.

Auty is best known for being the original voice behind "Walking in the Air", the theme song to the 1982 cartoon film The Snowman; and not, as most people thought, by Aled Jones who only released the song as a single in 1985. Auty's version, which was recorded especially for The Snowman, had been released as a single two years earlier. Due to a rush to finish the film on time, Auty was not credited on the film until it was remastered in 2002.

Auty is now active as an operatic tenor.
