    Young Fighter

     

    Award winning composer and singer/songwriter Nate Fenwick has scored several indie films and has had his music air across multiple cable and major networks including ABC, NBC, FOX, A&E, Discovery, E! and MTV. Nate had Evie Clair in mind for a new song called Young Fighter after being inspired by her strength through Season 12 of America’s Got Talent. Evie and Nate collaborated on the song with a message that conveys the inner power each of us has to overcome struggles and battle through the difficult challenges of life.


    Young Fighter Lyrics

    On the run
    There once was a thief
    She was one
    Who stole the silence with her tongue between her teeth
    And fell asleep

    On the sea
    Drifting further from her silent dream
    Awakened by the storm
    She fought her way to shore
    To break the silence

    Oh – oh – oh
    Rise high young fighter
    Oh – oh – oh
    Fly high young fighter

    From the ground
    She feels the fire burn within her bones
    Breathing reason to a heart of stone
    Awake the mighty one that shouts within her soul

    Fired up
    And from the ash to rise above
    To show her demons what it means to burn
    And turn to ground and fade away
    Ya – a – a

    Oh – oh – oh
    Rise high young fighter
    Oh – oh – oh
    Fly high young fighter

    The time has come to win
    The battle that has never been won
    Without the fighter found inside
    Her silent dream above

    Oh – oh – oh
    Rise high young fighter
    Oh – oh – oh
    Fly high young fighter

    Oh – oh – oh
    Rise high young fighter
    Oh – oh – oh
    Fly high

  • AGT Reunion Shows in Washington

    AGT Reunion Shows in Washington

    In a little city called Mill Creek near Seattle, Washington, many of the finalists from America’s Got Talent were showcased Friday and Saturday at a Christmas spectacular at Gold Creek. Evie Clair took the stage with Merrick Hanna, Christian Guardino, Kochi Okwuchi, DaNell Daymon & Greater Works: Gospel Choir plus several other acts including finalists from NBC’s The Sing Off.

    Gold Creek really knows how to put on a show and they were brilliant to recruit musical genius, Gary Verrill, to direct and produce the music! We were stunned by the incredible stage and sound. They even had ice skaters skating on stage somehow and an aerialist flying over the stage in the pre-show.

    The entire concert was incredible. We showed up for sound check expecting to use backing tracks for Evie’s songs but were excited to find out that she would have a live – extremely talented band backing her up. Evie, like most musicians, comes alive when the music is real, live and not overly rehearsed.

    Evie and dancer Merrick Hanna from AGT collaborated for the first time together on a dubstep mashup of Carol of the Bells/God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen that was a huge hit!

    At the end of the dynamic show, the pianist – Gary, pulled up the favorite Christmas songs from audience polls and called on performers to improvise a random song completely unrehearsed! Golden Buzzer winner, Christian Guardino, from AGT was clearly the king of improv this weekend, but Evie proved that she could also hold her own on the spot.

    Evie loved spending time with her AGT friends but she was also thrilled to be able to spend some time with her aunt and uncle and cousins who live in Seattle. They hosted a breakfast at their home while we were in town and invited dozens of young women from church for brunch and a musical devotional.

    Evie Clair Collaborates to Light the World

    After the America’s Got Talent finale, Evie Clair has been traveling the country performing and sharing her story in person. Today she returns as a YouTuber in collaboration with non profits, composers and other talented musicians to join in the movement to #LightTheWorld with service, love and the peace of the Christmas season. Learn more about #LightTheWorld

    Evie released two videos on her YouTube channel today which are the first performances she has been able to release since before her first appearance on NBC’s most watched show, America’s Got Talent.

    For Here in My Arms, she collaborated with young vocalist, Rosevelt Rawls and with Cinematic Pop composer Rob Gardner who in his spare time writes sacred oratorios such as Lamb of God, orchestrated by the world famous London Symphony Orchestra. Here in My Arms has emphasis on the divine calling of motherhood and the special ways Mary, the mother of Christ, was able to give Jesus the gift of lifelong service as His mother.

    Here in My Arms sheet music is available here.

    For Light the World, composer Sara Baril and her son Benson caught Evie’s attention with an original song they released that captures the heart of the #LightTheWorld in 25 ways over 25 days initiative to teach, serve and love as Jesus Christ.  Sara and Benson traveled from their home in Canada to record and film Light the World and bring message to life in collaboration with Step UP Schools, Mormon.org and the Salvation Army, they put their words to action as they participated in service projects including preparing food boxes and hygiene kits for families in need and reading to and playing with the students.

    Light the World sheet music available here.

    Both videos were produced in collaboration with Mormon.org and with Production by Stephen Moyer, Thomas Manning and James Adams.

  • Semi Finals

    Semi Finals

    Evie Clair poured her heart out Tuesday night with the song “Yours” by Ella Henderson for the semi-finals of America’s Got Talent. Her heart was particularly heavy as her dad was placed on life support earlier that day. She sang the tender lyrics “If I’ve been feeling heavy, you take me from the dark. Your arms they keep me steady so nothing can fall apart… I know everyday I say it, but I just want you to be sure that I am yours.” She gathered the strength to give another touching performance while keeping her emotions in check and even Simon struggled to hold back tears.

    Evie was scheduled to fly home Thursday evening, but America’s Got Talent producers and staffers arranged for her to fly home directly after the live results show on Wednesday night making it possible for her to be with her father for his remaining days. He was surrounded by his wife and five children when he was taken off life support and passed away at 3:30pm on Thursday, September 7th.

    The video America’s Got Talent produced that was played just before her live performance on September 5th was a tribute to her father and the love and happiness in her family. Evie wants the world to know of her unfailing love for her father and the joy in her family. She believes this video captures those memories perfectly. The background music for the video is an original song called “OK Day” that Evie wrote with her siblings Kirra and Porter earlier this year that is yet to be released.

    Evie is moving on to the Finals after the judges raved and America voted her into the top 5. Her father can now be free to join her in following her dreams while only in spirit as he escapes his cancer ridden body. She is heartbroken but ready to continue singing for him.

  • America’s Got Talent Round 2

    America’s Got Talent Round 2

    Evie Clair had a difficult time watching last night’s Judge Cut episode since it was filmed weeks ago and her dad has become noticeabley frail since then. The colon cancer has spread to his liver and lungs and he has been in the hospital since Monday having fluid drained from his lungs and stomach and suffering from malnutrition.

    Some people talk about hating sob stories, but her current reality is that the person she loves and looks up to most in life is in a downward spiral that will play out on live television.

    She seeks none of the attention that has come to her, but only for him to be well again and to share her light.

    She can belt like no one’s business but the restraint she showed last night was remarkable. Her new, softer version of the song I Try by Macy Gray told of her feelings for her incredible father. She sat with him in a hospital room to watch the show air last night.

    This was one of a couple tweets sent out by the writer of her song, Macy Gray.

    This girl still has hope and will be off to round 3 soon to fight. She fights because she has been taught by her dad ‘s example to fight. She believes somehow that if she can beat the odds, So can he.
