Toys, Play-Dough, and your BFFs. You’d draw epic stick figures with vibrant Crayola crayons or plunk out Polly Wolly Doodle on the piano. Christmas meant Santa, presents, and joyously butchering famous carols off-key. Now, fast forward to 2019 and meet Veronica, a little girl standing at the front of her church, peering curiously at the flowers, seemingly expecting nothing unusual. Her light blue shirt untucked from her dark plaid school uniform skirt, with dark bobby socks and sensible shoes completing her look. Her hair’s a bit wild, as if she just dashed in from a storm. She seems like any other kid about to perform. Ben Bross, the guitarist, joins her, and as he prepares to play, Veronica nonchalantly rubs her nose, watching intently. Then, she breathes and sings—and everything changes. Her voice captivates everyone. How can this young lady sound like a pure-toned angel? Singing a religious version of Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” she’s more than raw talent; her pitch and control defy her age. But what’s most striking is her ease. She infuses tender emotion into the moving lyrics, altering her tempo flawlessly, adding vibrato with the finesse of a Broadway star. She brings an otherworldly reverence to the timeless song. When she finishes, she seems quietly content, unaware of her astounding gift. Who knows what she’ll become in a few years? Ben and Veronica exchange smiles, and she gestures a small thumbs-up. He fist-bumps her, and she whispers a grateful “You’re awesome.” At the video’s end, she gazes at the camera, curious. “Does this only record voice?” she asks innocently. It’s the perfect conclusion—she transitions from a vocal angel back to an ordinary little girl. The world embraces her. After Ben shared the video on YouTube, it amassed over 5 million views.
