A weeks ago, I shared a video of Dionne Warwick that so many of you loved.
As I’m preparing several of my students for next year’s YoungArts competition, I spent some time listening to this year’s winners.
Then I heard Danielle Angrand.
Folks… a star is born.
Danielle Angrand, the 2026 National YoungArts Jazz Vocal Winner with Distinction from New World School of the Arts in Miami, absolutely stopped me in my tracks.
There is simply no other way to say it. This young lady is a genius.
Listen to the phrasing. The breath support. The tone quality. The impeccable intonation. The timing. The musicianship. Every single decision feels thoughtful, mature, and completely authentic. It’s hard to believe someone so young can sing with this level of artistry.
I often hear people say, “They just don’t make singers like they used to.”
Well… here’s your answer.
They do.
They’re out there. They simply need our support.
If we want another generation of artists like Dionne Warwick, Patti LaBelle, and the other great vocal legends, we have to champion young artists who are already demonstrating that same commitment to excellence.
Please do me a favor. I almost never ask this, but if this performance moves you the way it moved me, share it. Introduce someone else to Danielle Angrand. Let’s do our part to encourage excellence whenever we find it.
And while you’re at it, please support YoungArts.
Since its founding in 1981, YoungArts has been identifying and nurturing extraordinary young artists and has helped launch the careers of remarkable alumni including Timothée Chalamet, Viola Davis, Josh Groban, Jon Batiste, Amanda Gorman, Andrew Rannells, Hunter Schafer, and many more. It remains one of the most important organizations for developing the next generation of American artists.
I have a feeling we’re witnessing the beginning of a very special career.
