A 13-year-old Kenyan girl continues to trend after her rendition of American singer’s Alicia Keys Girl on Fire went viral.
The girl, Gracious Amani, became the talk of town because of her powerful vocals and desire to be a better singer.
Alicia Keys shared the video and captioned it: “Look at this beautiful soul!” exclaimed Alicia Keys after she shared her photo.
The incident comes days after Kenyan singer Vivian traced her. The two recorded a song, which is yet to be released.
The singer had taken to social media to ask her fans to help her find the girl after the rendition video surfaced.
"I am looking for this talented girl! Anyone with links on her whereabouts kindly DM me ASAP! I would love to talk to her,” Vivian wrote earlier.
She later confirmed having met Amani and promised to nurture her talent. “Finally got to meet Gracious Amani. Studio tonight with her. She is so talented,’’ Vivian posted.
At the age of 13, the young girl has already become a superstar.
In a past interview, she confessed that singing runs in their family. Her two siblings are also great sings.
She often sings with her friends in her neighbourhood of Githurai 45. Various celebrities have pledged assistance for Amani to achieve her dreams in music.
