Britain's Got Talent star Shaheen Jafargholii has been signed to a top Hollywood talent agency following his performance at Michael Jackson's memorial, according to reports.

Jafargholi, 12, is believed to have impressed bosses at CAA, whose clients include Brad Pitt and George Clooney, with his impassioned cover of  'Who's Loving You' at the Staples Center.

The company, which also represents Britain's Got Talent judge Simon Cowell, is said to be brokering deals for the child star.

“He has meetings with the Nickelodeon TV channel and Disney lined up,” a source told The Sun newspaper.

“Disney are looking at finding a role for him in their High School Musical and Hannah Montana-style shows”

Jarfargholi was set to support Jackson, who died last month, at his ill-fated comeback gigs in London.

The King of Pop had become a fan of the singer after watching his Britain's Got Talent auditions on YouTube.


Shaheen gets the a-list treatment on Larry King.

Jarfargholi's performance on Tuesday was watched by an estimated television audience of one billion, as well as some of the biggest names in music at the Staples Center.

Appearing on Larry King Live, Jarfargholi said he felt “honoured” to be given the opportunity to say goodbye to “my idol and my hero”.
