Coast Kids Got Talent

More than 60 talented young people were whittled down to just one in the final of Coast Kids Got Talent.

The competition has been held over the past couple of months, with five heats, at the Hibiscus Coast Community RSA and was organised by Dean Morris.

Sixteen young people took the stage in the final on Sunday, November 12, and were judged by Dean, Melanie Kerr and Mark Hill.

The winner was 14-year-old North Shore resident Brody Leigh, who sang an original song on guitar.

Brody, who is in Year 10 at Rangitoto College, has been playing guitar for seven years and also enjoys drama.

“The Coast Kids competition was really exciting for me,” she says. “I had never really done anything quite like it and I was so shocked to win.

I thought everybody else did so well and I really enjoyed everyone’s performances.”

Brody received $1000 and Dean will also set her up with recording time to produce an EP and ongoing management.
