Get ready to be blown away by a young singing sensation from Israel, now residing in Canada.
Meet Maya Gamzu, a girl who, from a tender age, felt a deep connection to music.
This passion was ignited by her father, who introduced her to the world of melodies and rhythms.
Maya’s journey began with simple tunes strummed on her father’s guitar.
Over time, she honed her skills, and her dedication bore fruit when she graced the stage of “Canada’s Got Talent.”
During her appearance, Maya revealed that her parents moved to Canada in search of a brighter future for her and her sibling.
She’s no one-trick pony.
A quick glance at her Instagram profile reveals that this 14-year-old is not just a singer but also a budding songwriter and actor.
On the show, she chose to perform “Something’s Got a Hold on Me.”
Her rendition was filled with power, sass, and an infectious energy that had everyone—from the judges to the audience—grinning from ear to ear.
But Maya didn’t stop at just singing.
She added a playful skip-step dance to her performance, exuding confidence and stage presence that’s rare for someone her age.
By the end of her act, the audience was on its feet, and the judges looked both impressed and slightly taken aback.
Judge Lilly Singh complimented Maya on her “phenomenal voice.”
However, she pondered if the song choice truly showcased the breadth of Maya’s talent.
Echoing Singh’s thoughts, another judge, Offishall, believed that a different song could have elevated Maya’s performance from great to exceptional.
He even hinted that with the right song, Maya might just clinch the title of “Canada’s Got Talent.”
Then, in a heart-stopping moment, Offishall rose from his seat.
The crowd’s anticipation was through the roof.
With a playful dance move, he pressed the Golden Buzzer for Maya, signaling her direct entry into the semifinals.
Viewers were quick to share their thoughts.
One commented,
“Even if you didn’t like the song, you have to love the singer. If she can deliver such a performance with an average song, imagine what she could do with the perfect one. She’s a natural talent and truly deserved the golden buzzer.”
As golden confetti rained down, Maya was overwhelmed with emotion.
Tears streamed down her face, her mother cried in the audience, and her proud father appeared from backstage.
For those unfamiliar with the show’s format, the Golden Buzzer ensures a direct ticket to the semifinals.
Post her stellar performance, Maya shared her gratitude in an interview.
She expressed how much the moment meant to her and made a promise to Offishall:
“I won’t let you down. I’ll work hard and give it my all, not just for you but for everyone.”
