Overview
- Kyle Kilroy, 32, records operatic and Broadway songs in the echoing pipes where he works as a wastewater and drinking water operator outside Boston.
- He has amassed more than 470,000 TikTok profile likes as his underground performances spread from social media to national and local news coverage.
- Kilroy times most recordings for when he is alone, saying he is shy, and he uses the strong acoustics of the tunnels to boost his sound.
- He says he is largely self-taught with a brief college choir stint, and his videos feature pieces like Andrea Bocelli’s Con Te Partirò and Stars from Les Misérables.
- Despite the attention, he plans to keep his day job, and he hopes to sing the national anthem at a Boston game as a next step.
