Rebecca Strong, the newly-crowned champion of Canada’s Got Talent, is excited about the opportunities her win will bring to her career. The Indigenous singer from Prince Albert, Sask., won the competition’s first $1 million prize in the show’s third season. Viewers across Canada voted for Strong as the winner, making it the biggest cash prize in Canadian television history.
Strong believes that winning the prize will help her career grow by providing opportunities for touring, recording new music, and overall musical growth. The 20-year-old has been performing since she was a child, and her appearance on Canada’s Got Talent was her biggest stage yet. Her performance of Adele’s Rolling in the Deep was a hit with viewers and beat out seven other finalists in the live finale.
Reflecting on her win, Strong expressed gratitude for the moment she had dreamed about her entire life. She encouraged others with talent to pursue their dreams without worrying about what others may think. Strong’s win is a testament to the power of following one’s passion and chasing after their dreams.
