Seven-year-old Sophie Fatu is a jazz recording artist with a number of television appearances, performances around the country, and even acting opportunities in Hollywood.
She made the world sit up, take notice, and listen when videos of her singing Frank Sinatra classics surfaced on YouTube – videos that have garnered over 150 million views and counting.
At such a young age, Sophie could already sing jazz with perfect pitch, timing, and rhythm. She can also memorize songs in under a couple of hours! No wonder she received so much attention in the music industry. She’s also appeared on television shows like America’s Got Talent, NBC’s Little Big Shots, and The Ellen Show.
More than just his iconic style, it’s Frank Sinatra’s trademark booming voice that makes the track even more infectious and memorable.
Sophie’s version, on the other hand, is delightful not just because she’s able to expertly sing a Frank Sinatra classic, but because who would think such a clear, loud singing voice would come from a little girl with a sweet smile, dark, curly hair, and long lashes?
Not the least bit shy about recording a song, she pairs her singing with a dazzling smile, animated facial expressions, and the cutest gestures. Whether she fully understands the meaning of the song or not, Sophie adds so much charm and magic into it that you’ll want to listen to it again.
Viewed over 2 million times, Sophie has also managed to grab the attention of internet users the world over because of her song choices. She was only five years old when she recorded a cover of “Fly Me to the Moon”, a song you wouldn’t expect to be a personal favorite of a child her age.
She has the song memorized but on certain parts, you’ll notice her suddenly glancing at someone as if to ask, “Did I sing it right?”
Sophie adds fun and playfulness by just being completely herself during recording.
Far from looking stiff and nervous, she even sways her body and moves her hands to the beat while singing.
She’s amazing at what she does.
YAHOO! News describes her as “…by far, the most talented little girl online!”
Even celebrities are impressed.
Ellen DeGeneres says,
“Sophie is adorable at a professional level. You will not believe this little girl.”
Steve Harvey, on the other hand, declares, “Sophie sings Sinatra like an old pro.”
It’s kind of hard to picture a now seven-year-old as someone who sings at a professional level and has commitments to attend to, like television appearances and performances around the country. But judging from the way Sophie enjoys being behind the microphone and singing, it’s safe to say she’s made for stardom and the music industry.
Despite the fame and demands of Sophie’s passion in music and interest in acting, the little girl’s mom makes sure to always be with her, keeping a close eye and even managing her social media accounts.
Happily pursuing music and acting, Sophie Fatu is definitely making a name for herself.
