If you’ve ever watched the television show America’s Got Talent, you know that some young people have amazing skills. Especially in the singing category, this show has revealed a lot of up-and-coming stars as young as three.
But it’s not that often when someone at age 12 has a voice so amazing that as soon as they open their mouth, people can’t help but stop to listen. Something like that is a gift. And while you see it on television, in the real world, it’s a rarity.
Her name is Mia Black
When a video of Mia was posted on YouTube singing the Calum Scott song, “You Are the Reason,” it didn’t take any time for it to go viral. To date, more than 3.6 million people have watched it.
Remember…she’s only 12
Sure, there’s a good chance you’ve heard a 12-year-old girl with a nice voice. But what’ll you discover in this video goes well beyond that. She’s not just good…she’s fantastic. This particular song requires a voice that’s powerful and subtle.
She has both
The video starts with Mia standing before a microphone in the middle of a busy street. But as soon as the music starts and she begins to sing, people stop. It’s immediate. It’s not because her standing there looks out of place but because the sound coming out of her mouth is so incredible.
Where is that voice coming from?
There she is, dressed in casual clothes and her blond hair pulled back in a side ponytail complete with a bow. She’s tiny in stature yet she delivers. The more she sings the larger the crowd grows.
She nails it
Often, maintaining correct notes on a song like this is difficult. But for Mia, it’s no problem. Whether singing low or high, putting power behind her voice, or keeping her tone soft, she hits every note perfectly.
Who is Mia Black?
At the time of this video, Mia was 12 but today, she’s 13. She’s an Irish singer who’s quickly become a social media celebrity that people around the world love. Known for posting cover songs, she’s already racked up more than 50,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel.
Fun trivia
Before she became a big online star, she’d post a lot of music videos hoping to get noticed. Finally, it happened. After uploading her recording of Lady Gaga singing “Shallow” when she starred with Bradley Cooper in the new “A Star is Born,” she surpassed 250,000 views.
Such a lovely girl with a lovely voice
As you continue listening to her sing “You Are the Reason,” you find it harder to turn away. There’s just something captivating about her voice. It’s as though she’s feeling every word she sings, which she probably is.
She’s determined to succeed
How many 12-year-old girls do you know who’d be brave enough to stand in the middle of the street to sing a famous song? Like us, probably not very many if any at all. This goes to show how hard she’s working on her craft.
A beautiful and bright future
We have no idea what Mia Black plans to do as she gets older but hopefully, she’ll continue to sing. She has way too much raw talent to let it go to waste. And with such a large following, she’s already captured the hearts of millions.
All it takes is for the right person to snatch her up and make her a star. With a voice like hers, she’s destined for greatness. Hey, kid…we’re all rooting for you. Don’t ever lose sight of your dream because you have the magic needed to go far.
