What happens when a singer makes a full-grown adult feel speechless? This is what happened when the music expert Claudia Preciado heard Courtney Hadwin.
Claudia listens to her voice as a kid, and then her recent vocals. The first song she chooses is a strong rock-and-roll song: the Tina Turner classic, “Nutbush City.” The unexpected, huge sound from such a young singer immediately grabs attention.
When Courtney begins, Claudia cannot believe the strength of her voice. She straight away says, “Wow she has so much passion,” seeing all the energy she puts into the music. She says that her stage presence is enormous.

The people who watch her feel the same way the commentator does. One person wrote that Courtney is already an “accomplished artist” at 21. Everyone agrees that her talent is a true gift. The shared feeling of shock and admiration is what makes people love her performances so much.
That first performance showed the world the huge voice inside of her. As she grew older, Courtney began writing her own music instead of just singing covers. This change shows her growing into a self-directed artist. She moved from showing off her vocal power to telling her own story.
