Young Ambassadors

Emanne Beasha is an American singer born in 2008 who has been singing since she was two years old and has always loved performing on stage.

Her first major crowd of 10,000 was when she performed the National Anthem for a spring training baseball game in Port Charlotte, Florida when she was just seven years old. Soon after, she started learning opera songs from YouTube.

She won Arabs Got Talent in 2017 at only eight years old. Shortly after that, she was awarded the Golden Superiority Medal from His Majesty King Abdullah II of Jordan following her performance at the 2017 celebration of Jordan Independence Day. She also received the title “Champion for Children” from UNICEF in support of their efforts in various campaigns.

Since then, Emanne has performed at various local and international events including the Cirque Du Soleil annual fundraiser, “1 Night 1 Drop” in Las Vegas, alongside the famous American singer Jewel. She was also hosted as a guest star on the American TV show “Little Big Shots with Steve Harvey” in Los Angeles.

Emanne was also honoured to perform at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC at the awards ceremony for His Majesty King Abdullah II receiving the Templeton Prize.

In June 2019, Emanne made her debut on America’s Got Talent with “Nessun Dorma.” She went on to receive the Golden Buzzer from Jay Leno for her operatic version of “Caruso.” She continued to surprise with “Ebben Nandro Lontana,” then a crossover version of Bryan Adam’s “Everything I Do – Quello Che Faro” and her finale performance was the impressive “La Mamma Morta.”

Emanne was a top 10 finalist in America’s Got Talent season 14. During the Finale Results show, she was honoured to perform “Con Te Partiro” with world-renowned pianist Lang Lang.

In 2019, Emanne signed a worldwide publishing deal with Sony/ATV.

When Emanne is not singing, she enjoys horseback riding, art, tennis, swimming, guitar, hip-hop and ballet. She really loves talking with people of all ages, travelling around the world and learning from new experiences.

When I first heard Jiajun play he performed Bach, and I felt so calm and moved by his playing. I saw the purity and peace in his heart and felt like his music was like an unpolluted space in this complicated world.” Mrs. Xia ling, Jiaiun’s teacher (Steinway Young Honorary Teacher).

Jiajun has loved music since he was a very young child, and since he had just learned to walk. When he was just 13 months old, one day he was running around at home when the music “Swan Lake” came on, and he stopped running and stood motionless and listened carefully. He started learning to play the piano at the age of 7 and won the city-level first place at the age of 8. At the age of 9, he studied under teacher Zhang Zhiwei, a professor of Chinese Central Conservatory of Music, and has studied under teacher Xia ling since the age of 14. In October 2013, he won the Excellence Award of Amateur Youth Group B in the Fifth “Cadanza” Cup National Youth Chinese Piano Performance Competition. In September 2014, he won the Excellence Award of Piano Amateur Group 2 in the 2014 CCTV Piano Violin Competition. In October 2014, he won the first prize of Piano Youth Group A at the 2014 First International Federation of Arts Youth Music Competition, and in August 2019, he won the Youth Gold Award of the 2019 Liszt International Youth Piano Competition in the China finals.

Jiajun is also an official Young Ambassador of the Lang Lang International Music Foundation which has created him global exposure in publications such as Slipped Disk and Owl Kids.
