This little girl has quite a story. Diagnosed with autism at age 2 and unable to speak until age 3 Gina Marie Incandela is an example of hope and the embodiment of what it means to overcome obstacles. She is the one of the Nations most popular young National Anthem performers, has recorded a CD, and has spent the past year singing across the country for various events with artists such as The Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, David Archuletta, All Star Weekend, Jordin Sparks, Johnny Bulford, Drew Seeley, The Naked Brothers Band and Radio Disney Star, Bre Morgan.

She has been featured on several National TV shows including, ABC News, Inside Edition, The Today Show, Good Morning America, The Daily Buzz, CNN and CBS Evening News with Katie Couric.

Having over 100 performances under her belt since she started performing in 2008 Gina has transformed into an amazing young star. She has performed the National Anthem for major sporting events including the 2008 and 2009 US Open and has sung for Major League Baseball, the NHL and the NBA. This past June Gina distinguished herself as one of the Country’s most talented and popular performers when she riveted millions with her booming rendition of the National Anthem during the 2009 NBA Finals.

Though I hope her parents plan for her future once the novelty wears off. Very few child stars such as Gina make the transition well past puberty.
