My mom has been telling me “The little girl is so cute, you have to see her and her father sing!”
According to Signon San Diego news, Jorge, a single parent and a father of two young girls decided to post a video of himself along with his 6 year old daughter singing their own version of “Home,” by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and the video went viral! The clip reveals the unrehearsed and unforced Alexa leaning comfortably against her guitar-playing dad while she displays her heartwarming innocence and talent.
Edward Sharpe’s manager posted the clip on the band’s website, and within a week, more than 1 million people tuned in. The video currently has almost 10 million views. Thanks to the YouTube fame, Narvaez and Alexa have since been on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” landed a live interview on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show, a news piece on the E! Channel, and emails from Simon Cowell.
The thing I admire most about their talent is it is so unforced and most importantly, you can see how much fun they have singing, and the joy it brings to them.
In Jorge's interview with Ellen DeGeneres, he explained to her: "In my house we follow four guidelines which include family, community, art, and music. With music we like to express it by just having a good time."
Jorge and Alexa have become a YouTube sensation singing other songs like “Unthinkable” by Alicia Keys, and “What’s Up,” by 4 non blondes cover.
I hope it remains fun for them and their new found fame won’t take away from the reason they started posting videos; to just have fun. It’s inspiring to see a talented 6 year old that actually looks and acts like a 6 year old. I’m tired of seeing these talented little girls on TV with make-up on tryin’ to act grown. From interviews and articles I’ve read it seems like Jorge seems like he’s doing a pretty good job raising the young YouTube star and keeping her level-headed. Keep it up Jorge and Alexa!
