This week, we decided to spotlight the talented India McFadden. She is a talented musician who had a wonderful opportunity to share what she loves with an audience!
On a whim, India decided to try out for Kpop Star Season
2. Kpop Star is a music show the
equivalent of American Idol in Korea.
After spending the day in LA at a High School waiting in anticipation
for her turn to register and try out,
she finally made it into the audition room to sing and play her guitar
in front of four judges. Her song of
choice was “If I die Young” by the band
Perry. The judges seemed pleased by her
performance. After the first song, they
put her on the spot and asked if she could sing additional songs to show her
range. After her performance the judges
discussed amongst themselves while India stood nervously waiting for the
verdict. Happily, she made it through
the second round, which meant another performance that same night. Only about 40 people made it to the second
round. After performing, they told
the performers they would get a call later that week if they made it on to the
show. One week later, India got the
happy phone call saying she made it and would be traveling to Korea to
participate in the show.
Late October of 2012, India left with her Mom to travel to
Korea for the show not knowing when she would return. Before the show started they got to tour
around and just have fun together.
India didn’t make it past the next round, but that
was quite OK with her. It was a fun day
of performing and meeting new people.
And when the show part of her trip was through, India
and her Mom were able to travel around and just enjoy themselves. It was a trip of a life time.
India is a beautiful inspiration. She is young, courageous, and follows her passions.
