Siblings Esther and Ezekiel Mutesasira from Uganda stunned audiences and judges on Canada’s Got Talent Season 3 with a stellar performance.
Esther, 17, and Ezekiel, 13, said they have always sung together from an early age, with support from their mom, who said she had to flee Uganda after coming out as gay and as the wife to a pastor.
Ezekiel said that he had to live for 5 years without his mother, which was really tough for him as a child.
The brother and sister seem to have music running in their blood because, even without any formal training in music, they can belt out Pop, R&B, afro-fusion, and gospel.
The Ugandan singing duo is no stranger to the world of talent shows, as they won the first season of East Africa’s Got Talent in October 2019.
Now, as they sang a cover of Jordin Sparks’ ‘No Air,’ the audience and judges were in shock when they heard Ezekiel singing with a powerful voice and a big range.
The siblings progressed to the next stage after receiving four yeses from all the judges. Their proud mother, Julie Mutesasira, was present at the auditions.
