"My parents wanted for me and my brother a better future. It's a bit nerve-racking waking up from an alarm saying you have to go hide from bombs. We don't want to live in fear," Gamzu said before her viral performance.
She recalled how she was introduced to music by her dad, as he would always play his guitar while she would sing along. Leading to now, when her big vocals on Christina Aguilera's "Something's Got A Hold On Me" had the judges turning their heads.
