Walsall
Best Musicians / Band:
Genesis Trio
Being a part of the STAR talent show was an amazing
experience, it was a great platform for our group to
show our vocal ability. It was also nerve racking,
especially hearing all the other amazing musicians
that performed on the night. But it was definitely an
exciting experience for us all. We was very proud
when we were announced as the winners and that we
were through to the grand finals because it made me
realise that as a team we are capable of achieving the results we need and getting far as a group! We are grateful to God mostly because we wouldn't have been able to do it without him.
Runner-up Musicians / Band:
Hannah Fletcher
Hi my name is Hannah. I love performing and
expressing myself through music. I have been
singing for many years now and it's a big part of my
life. Entering the STAR Youth Talent competition had
really helped to build my confidence and engage
more with an audience. I'm looking forward to
competing at the Grand Finals.
Runner-up Musicians / Band:
Nadekka
My name is Nadekka Simmonds-Wilson and I am 16
years old. I have a passion for music, in particular
singing. I entered the STAR youth talent show because
I want to build confidence within myself as a
performer and gain skills and knowledge from
professionals and other participants to better what I
do. I didn't decide to enter the Walsall heat until on
the day so I am very pleased to have progressed to the
final. The show was very nerve wracking but I am thankful for the experience and all the advice given of the judges. Let's get this show on the road!

dancing together for approximately 2 years. But have
been dancing for out entire lives, we danced before

We like to keep All performance versatile and include
a variety of dance styles. We decided to enter the
STAR Youth Talent show following a phone call at
6.30pm on the day of the heat, we used freestyle and old routines to showcase our talents. We were overwhelmed to win and want to thank the judges for their valuable comments. We are looking forward to the final.
