Did you see the quiet teenager who stood on the America’s Got Talent stage? That was Courtney Hadwin in 2018. She sang “Hard to Handle,” a classic song by Otis Redding. When she started singing, it was like a switch flipped inside her. Her powerful rock-and-roll voice and wild dancing made everyone jump to their feet.

Judge Howie Mandel gave her the Golden Buzzer right away. Simon Cowell said she sings just like a lion. The video of her audition became a global hit. More than 50 million people watched it, proving she was an absolute star.

Viewers loved how quickly she changed on stage. One person said you can never fake a jaw-dropping talent like hers. Another viewer said they keep watching the audition because it is so fantastic.

That first song showcased her incredible talent. Now, Courtney is not just a young star; she has grown into a bold artist who is all her own. She took time to find her authentic sound.

Her new single, “D.N.A.,” is a funky, electrifying song that brings rock and roll back. It is called “pure, anarchic fun.” The song shows her new confidence, blending funk and soul with high notes and raw energy. She co-wrote the song, and the playful lyrics ask to get “all up in your DNA.”

Courtney’s journey from a nervous teen to a rock star is a great story. She has kept the spirits of music legends alive while adding her own fresh style. You should hear how great her voice sounds now. Follow Courtney Hadwin on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube to see her next move.
