UPDATE October 1, 2008
NOELLIA PLACED 3rd IN THE YTIDOLCONTEST!! (OUT OF 167 SINGERS) THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO VOTED!!!!!!


This is Noellia. She turned 11 recently (July 2008).

This originally started out as Noellia's dad's Youtube but he's not a singer and she's way cuter!! LOL!

CAN U BELIEVE SHE WAS A PREEMIE AND HAD SEVERE RESPIRATORY DISTRESS? THEY SAID HER LUNGS WOULD BE WEAK!! BEING INTUBATED WOULD HURT HER VOCAL CORDS????

Well, thank God He decided to keep her here with us! And we can tell you that we are reminded on a daily basis that her lungs are quite healthy!!!

Noellia has been singing since she was a baby! Singing is like breathing to her. She can't live without it and most of the time at home she's singing almost reflexively! (or humming). This is what she wants to do with her life (well, she does have a back up plan... to be a veterinarian!)

Right now Noellia is performing and crafting her singing skills. She takes voice lessons every week and has been since she was 7. She's working with Jonathan George at JJPZ. She's also working on some projects to show to a record company. Noellia has always asked us, her parents, to allow her to pursue singing as a career. We both know this business can be brutal. So, we go item by item. If something isn't appropriate for a 11 year old we don't bother with it.

What we do enjoy is seeing our daughter doing what she says she was born to do. How many people can say that at such a young age?


Enjoy and please, she's 11, no rude comments. Constructive criticism is fine, just no snarkiness.

FYI people ask who took the photo of Noellia in the background. I took it and take a lot of photos of Noellia. She's my favorite subject!
Her icon was taken by a professional, Dani Brubaker who is an awesome photographer.
