This girl has a great voice, but her story might be even better…
When Amber Simone Chinn was born, doctors told her parents she would never talk. Born with a birth defect known as craniosynostis, in which one or more of the joints between the bones of a baby's skull close prematurely, Chinn had to have an intense procedure at only 6 months old. A true nightmare for any parent, Amber Simone's mother and father were even more devastated when they were told their newborn baby girl would not likely recover from the procedure. They said she wouldn't be able to breathe on her own and likely wouldn't be able to speak.
As we've seen time and time again, doctors can't see the future and sometimes they aren't always right. Fast-forward 18 years, and Amber Simone didn't just beat the odds, she completely ravaged them. Now 19 years old, the Buffalo native can speak perfectly and has blossomed into an extremely talented singer. Recently, Amber Simone was attending a friend's graduation when she put on an impromptu performance of the song "The Worst” by Jhene Akio. She had no idea that posting a random video of her by the pool would go viral.
Practically overnight, the video has received more than 2 million views, and I think you'll agree that when she sings, you can hear a lot more than just her incredible talent.
