15-year-old Amanda Mena’s story is inspiring! She shares how she overcame bullying when she moved from the Dominican Republic to the U.S. as a child and is channeling her passion into her beautiful gift of music. She began her journey as a Golden Buzzer winner and made it through to the quarterfinals on America’s Got Talent and I love how she represents her culture by singing in Spanish as well.
I first heard CASS’s music this summer when she performed at a summer camp for teens and was drawn to her sound and messages – her music is lit and fills a void in the industry for positive inspiring dance music that has been desperately needed! CASS hails from New Zealand and merges her love for danceable rhythms with lyrics of substance and inspiration to create something vibrant and youthful.
Her song Not For Sale Talks about the journey she has taken from being a college student to stepping out on the dream God gave her of creating music. In just a year she has written and produced music in her bedroom that has topped the charts in her home country and is reaching people’s hearts. Check out this interview CASS did with YMI on how she got started. To find out more about CASS and more of her music follow her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/casskanda.
Flau’jae also brightened up the screen on The Rap Game a few years back and since then she’s been growing in her gifts – we know she’ll go far! Check out some of her other performances below including her original song “Let Downs.”
