But Sophie Fatu is no ordinary kid.

Meet Sophie, a young kid with an old soul when it comes to music.

This 7-year-old girl has an alluring young beauty like no other. Her naturally curly hair dances along with the air.

You just might even mistake her ‘oh-so-brilliant’ eyes as the reincarnation of Holly Golightly.

Her natural charm is undeniable and her tantalizing eyes speak a thousand words.

She’s also camera-friendly and knows how to project properly in front of it. She maintains her poise even while singing.

She looks perfect, even without her two front teeth.

In her new video, where she sang “Moon River”, Sophie was all beauty and talent.

She tilts her head from left to right like a professional singer, with her eyes focused on the camera. Her youthful voice shows and so does her pronunciations.

She pronounces “river” as “wiver” and her “mile” sounds a bit like “ma-wl”. Adorably, her “crossing” sounds like “cwossing”.

And even though she has the trademark lisp on her “S”, she still amazes the world!

A little bit about the oldies but goodies song, “Moon River”.

The song was composed by Henry Mancini with lyrics by Johnny Mercer. It was popularized by Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 award-winning movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The song also won the 1962 Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Song of the Year.

According to Wikipedia:

“Breakfast at Tiffany’s is a 1961 American romantic comedy film … starring Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard … Hepburn’s portrayal of Holly Golightly as the naïve, eccentric café society girl is generally considered to be one of the actress’s most memorable and identifiable roles. Hepburn regarded it as one of her most challenging roles, since she was an introvert required to play an extrovert.”

An iconic scene we will never forget in the history of cinema.

The said scene was when Paul Varjak (played by George Peppard) overheard and discovered Holly Golightly playing guitar and singing the song while she was seated on a window headed towards the fire escape in their apartment. That was the first time that the song’s lyrics were first heard.

Sophie is definitely a star in the making!

She’s known to have started her singing career when she was just 4 – when her Frank Sinatra song covers went viral and earned the hearts of many people.

Sophie has appeared in a couple of popular U.S. TV shows like the “Little Big Shots” with Steve Harvey. She was also invited to The Ellen DeGeneres Show, where she performed Sinatra’s”Fly Me to the Moon”.

When she was 5, Sophie also joined America’s Got Talent Season 13 back in 2018, where she sang Frank Sinatra’s old classic song “My Way” and advanced to the next round of the competition.

In her Judge Cuts performance, she sang “New York, New York” but, unfortunately, she didn’t make it to the quarter-finals.
