A talented 7-yr-old singer delivers an incredible National Anthem at an L.A. Galaxy game.
Her last name may be tricky to spell (and pronounce), but this is one name we’re never going to forget.
Malea Emma Tjandrawidjaja, or just Malea Emma for short, is an actress, singer, and model from Los Angeles, California. Not only is she adorable, but the 7-year-old Indonesian is becoming well known in the entertainment industry for her powerful vocal capabilities and innate acting skills.
Malea Emma most recently starred as Molly in the Hollywood Bowl production of “Annie,” alongside veteran Broadway actors, and now she’s making waves online for a stunning version of “The Star Spangled Banner” that’s giving everyone goosebumps the second they hear it.
A few months ago, Malea Emma entered a contest sponsored by Major League Soccer club the L.A. Galaxy. The team held an Instagram contest, seeking out the most talented fans to compete for the honor of singing the national anthem at their Galaxy Social Day.
Malea Emma beat out hundreds of other applicants to win the competition! The Galaxy Twitter account even shared the incredibly sweet moment when the little girl learned she’d be singing the “Star Spangled Banner” before their game against the Seattle Sounders.
On game day, the tiny singer took the field dressed in her best Galaxy jersey. She looked small standing there among the adults on the field, but once she began to sing, all doubts of her singing prowess are instantly erased. The girl’s got pipes!
