Thia Megia has a voice that made my jaw dropped once I heard her. I had to play her video twice to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating…but I wasn’t the only one at awe. Christine, a dear-friend visiting from New York who writes for Seventeen magazine asked me “Oh, is that Yael Naim? I love her.” Little did she know it was coming from 13-year old Thia Megia. You might recognize her from a video featuring one of other talented singers, Jessica Sanchez.

We’ll just let you read what her nominator has to say about her:

Thia Megia had just turned thirteen with singing and performing experience since the age of six. He first major acccomplishment was singing the National Anthem solo for the San Francisco NFL 49ers at the age of ten in front of 70,000 people. She was then invited to sing the Anthem and other half-time performances for Stanford University sport venues including the opening of the new Stanford stadium of 50,000 thousand people.

Thia has appeared as a guest singer on channel KRON 4’s “The World According to Gary” with Mr. Gary Radnich at age eleven. Later that yearof 2007, she volunteered to sing for nursing homes and the American Cancer Society. Thia had also won both titles as the “Saratoga Idol” and “San Jose Idol”.
