You are about to witness a young singing talent from Israel who is currently living in Canada.

Her name is Maya, and at an early age, she knew that she was destined to be a singer.

It was her father who introduced her to music so since then, Maya’s love for music grew.

Maya began singing with her father’s guitar and all those years of honing her talents paid off for her.

And now she takes to the stage on a show called Canada’s Got Talent.

Maya shared with everyone that her parents wanted a “bigger future” for her and her brother.

According to her Instagram page, she is a singer, songwriter, and actor.

Quite an achievement for a 14-year-old.

Maya sang “Something’s Got a Hold on Me” showcasing a powerful voice with a sassy attitude that had the judges smiling and the audience cheering.

The upbeat performance will have you bopping your head!

She even has a little skip step dance to go along with it.

Maya sings like she owns the place.

She displays a level of confidence not commonly seen in kids her age.

The audience was on their feet as soon as she finished her performance and the judges were in disbelief.

Judge Lilly Singh told Maya that she has a “phenomenal voice,” but then wondered if it was the right choice to “fully showcase everything you can do.”

The others agreed with Singh’s sentiments, knowing that Maya had way more in her.

Offishall too admitted that a different song may have taken Maya from A to A+.

However, he added that “with the right song choice, that you possibly could win all of Canada’s Got Talent.”

Even this viewer knew what they were saying,

“I agree with the judges. You don’t have to like the song to love the singer. That was not the best song for her but my God, if she can do THAT with a mediocre song she will absolutely blow the roof off with the right song.

This young lady has a very, very bright future. A purely natural, incredibly gifted voice that 100% deserved the golden buzzer.”
