When 13-year-old Abu stepped onto the stage of The Voice Kids Belgium, no one expected what came next. But within seconds, his voice filled the room, and the audience — including the judges — was completely captivated. In less than a minute, all the judges jumped to their feet, amazed by the young boy’s emotional and powerful performance.

It wasn’t just a lucky moment — it felt like fate.

Abu comes from a family of musicians who supported his love for music from a young age. Surrounded by melodies and instruments at home, he grew up with the encouragement to explore his voice and talent. That foundation clearly shaped the remarkable singer he’s becoming.

His choice to sing a Celine Dion classic wasn’t just bold — it was meaningful. Celine herself grew up in a musical family in Quebec, Canada. Born on March 13, 1968, she was the youngest of 14 children in the Dion family. Her parents, Adhémar and Thérèse, owned a small bar where the family would often perform together. These Sunday concerts helped Celine build her confidence, stage presence, and love for music — just like Abu’s journey today.

Celine Dion’s rise from small-town performances to global superstardom is a story of talent, hard work, and strong family support — all of which seem to echo in Abu’s story as well.

And when Abu sang one of her songs on stage, he wasn’t just copying a legend — he was honoring her legacy, and creating a powerful moment of his own.
