Angelic voices aren’t something we hear very often. Sure, we can sometimes get a glimpse when we see “nobody” performers audition on broadcast talent shows, but what about a little girl?
Kids often don’t have the development or physical attributes to make for a professional singer, but it’s not a hard and fast rule.
Little Sophie Fatu is one of those kids who will grow up to be famous, specifically for her singing.
Sophie is a seven-year-old girl who has the pipes of an angel! The world got its first look at her when she competed in “Little Big Shots” with Steve Harvey – she was only four-years-old at the time!
Since then, she has made appearances on America’s Got Talent, The Ellen Show, and has been a representative for some of the world’s most famous brands.
In short, this girl is awesome!
Her major claim to fame is her voice, especially with how good it is for someone her age.
Most kids don’t have breath control, power, or an understanding of their own vocal cords. You know how they learn? A teacher!
Her vocal coach is a guy named Cody Jay, and the two regularly work together.
Cody describes himself by saying:
Hey! I’m Cody Jay: a self-produced singer, songwriter, music producer & artist. I’ve created 3 albums on my own which I’m extremely proud of….But I’m done with that. I want to collaborate. I want to bring the skills I’ve developed over the past 8 years & work with talented individuals like you, who need production & songwriting help. Hit me up!
Watching Cody and Sophie sing a song together is a touching and truly wonderful experience.
They covered a song a few months ago that already has over 400k views online!
The song in question is “The Prayer,” a song that you may know from Quest for Camelot (a 1998 Disney movie). When Sophie and Cody sing it together, it’s something special.
Sophie starts off singing it alone and in English.
She looks adorable, and it sounds good enough to be featured in a new Disney movie!
Her little voice has the perfect amount of vibrato, showing just how much control she has at her age.
Cody soon comes in and begins singing secondary lines in a different language (it’s clearly one of the romance languages, but we think it’s Italian specifically).
As the two sing, together, the contrast of the richness is Cody’s voice and the softness in Sophies works beautifully together.
Soon, they unite and begin singing in the other language, growing bigger and bigger until they peak with a beautiful note and harmony.
After some research, we can be sure that the parts in the other language are sung by Andrea Bocelli, confirming it’s Italian!
Knowing that Andrea Bocelli was the duet singer in the original makes so much sense!
The female part in the song? Celine Dion! Cody and Sophie’s singing are like mini-versions of the original, and we think they did a great job.
