"I was an early talker and started singing at age two. Between ages two and three, I was memorising entire CDs with good pitch. I was always singing," she said, according to Guiness World Records.
Victory's vocal range
Victory is a multi-talented little girl with an insane vocal range for her age, reaching three octaves.
The vocal powerhouse made history in 2019 when she became the first contestant ever to get a Golden Buzzer from all four judges in the 16th season of America's Got Talent.
She hit the operatic number with complete high notes while performing Juliet's Waltz from Romeo et Juliette.
Victory's Brinker riffs and runs
The eighth child of 11 siblings to Christine and Eric Brinker said she always loved the complex music with riffs and runs since she was a toddler.
"I love the challenge of the difficult arrangements, the technique required to sing, all the runs, and the different languages all the arias are written in," she explained.
To achieve the vocal prowess and status of her calibre puts a lot of effort and practice into her art.
"I sing in the morning, in the shower, at dinner, at school, and even when I’m falling asleep. My family says I even sing in my sleep," she explained.
Her Brinker practice routine
The wunderkind also meets with her coach at least twice a week with a new challenge of learning a new language or piece.
She also practices at home with her mom, setting aside at least 45 minutes every day to perfect her melodic voice.
"My mom taught me how to sing and helps me believe I can do anything. No matter what I want to do next, she finds a way to help me to do it. She is always cheering me on," the vocal sensation added.
The kid's inspiration
Victory is eyeing to break more records in future and be an inspiration to kids her age to pursue what they love.
"You can do it! Just do it one time and you’ll see it’s not so bad. I tell myself to give it my all and have fun, and I do," she concluded.
Man gives boy school fees
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a video shared on Instagram showed the moment a Nigerian man put a big smile on the face of a Nigerian kid working as a bricklayer at a construction site.
While the boy was plastering a wall, he stopped him briefly and handed him a wad of naira notes. He told him it is N30,000 and he can use it to pay his school fees or settle family needs.
The kind giver revealed that he would check him again and would love to meet his parents. He called another kid working on the same site and asked him to meet him outside for his own money.
