Sirine Jahangir Performs In The ‘BGT’ Semifinals
Sirine has been singing her whole life, and started playing the piano when she was 5 years old. She started losing her vision at 7. “If I hadn’t lost my vision, I don’t think I’d be as in love with music as I am now,” she shared.
She says music takes her to her “own world,” where she has “no limitations.” During Saturday’s BGT semifinals show, she performed at a piano covered in butterflies, with the words “You’re not alone” on the side.
