7. Isla Lees
Isla has grown in confidence and she takes any opportunity she can to perform, showing great dedication each week. She is now really pushing her singing to a new level by singing solo at a number of events. We have been blown away by Isla's singing, as previously Isla would never want to perform in front of people- so we threw in our magic and created a safe place for Isla to develop in her own time. Isla is not one for social media outlets but is so proud to know this opportunity to perform at the finals is truly special. It will allow Isla to achieve her dreams of singing solo we absolutely love and support this journey! Photo: submitted
