MERISSA BEDDOWS

Bio

Merissa is currently a full-time opera student at the Curtis Institute of Music. It all began when the 12-year-old heard Jackie Evancho, a contestant on Season 5, perform Puccini's "O mio babbino caro." Little did she know, five years later she would be accepted into the Juilliard Pre-College program having sung the exact same piece (aria). Praised for her "exceptional ear" by many of her teachers, Merissa has only been impersonating singers for a little over a year now, and she had never performed her impressions for an audience prior to her appearance on "AGT."
