Family first for Adina
WHEN young Jewish performer Adina sings her heart out in the Battle Rounds stage of The Voice Kids, she’ll have her family in mind.
WHEN young Jewish performer Adina Herz sings her heart out in the Battle Rounds stage of The Voice Kids, she’ll have her family in mind.
The 13-year-old, from Sydney’s eastern suburbs, wowed all four judges on the Channel Nine show last Sunday night with her blind audition of Whitney Houston’s One Moment In Time, making it through to the next round.
For Adina – who has been performing with Opera Australia for six years – family is everything. “I think of my family every time I sing. They’re really a part of me when I sing,” Adina told The AJN.
Her mother and grandparents fled the communist USSR and settled in Sydney in 1988 with no English. “She had to run away from there with her family because she was a Jew and make a new start in Australia,” she said of her mother.
“My Jewish heritage has inspired me to become the person I am today and it makes me more determined.”
