How can I be a great singer without proper lessons?

I have wanted to be a singer since I was tiny. But I havent had any proper lessons. My mates and most of my family say ime really good at singing, what could I do to improve or get noticed?

If you want to be a professional musician you need to study music not just singing. You need to know how to read music, understand music theory (scales, keys, etc). It is helpful to be able to play a bit of piano for composing and arranging.

Take any classes you can on piano, music theory, and singing at your high school or college.

Howabout you just TAKE THE LESSONS.
