Even the pianist could not stand it when she began to sing. He had never heard such a sound in his life.

You might not be familiar with the name Charis Pempengko, but to give you some context, the renowned TV presenter of our era, Oprah Winfrey, once hailed this young Filipino singer as the most gifted girl in the world. And trust me, she knows talent when she sees it.

Charis was just 14 years old when she became a household name worldwide. This meteoric rise to fame was all thanks to the extraordinary success of a video she posted on YouTube. The music industry luminary, producer, and composer David Foster, recognized this young prodigy’s potential and took her under his wing.

During one of her live performances, Foster even shared the stage with Charis. On that unforgettable evening, their rendition of the incredibly challenging song “All By Myself” left both him and the audience in awe.
