Isabela Nanni skipped past American Idol, X-Factor, The Voice and all of the other talent competitions on the planet -- to secure a "touring" gig with the band Chicago -- at the age of 14!!!
Isabela -- the oldest daughter of Lou and Carmen Nanni (both Domers) -- WOWED 10,000 people in attendance at halftime of a February Notre Dame women's basketball game when she played a song she wrote about breast cancer survivors called "Beautiful." See the link below to that performance.
Life changed that moment for Ms. Nanni.
Since that day eight months ago -- ol' Isabela has hooked up with the band Chicago and has performed with them at a number of concert venues. Over the next two months, Isabela will be touring again with Chicago -- traveling to NYC, Indianapolis, Cleveland and Louisville. This Sunday, she'll perform with Chicago at a made for TV figure skating show that NBC is producing with Brian Boitano at Notre Dame's brand new Compton Family Ice Arena. NBC will air this show over the holidays.
The Notre Dame family needs to keep an eye on this up and coming talent!!!
Here's a link to Isabela's official website --along with a link to videos of a number of her performances.
