Jael Wena may only be 13 but she’s out to prove she has talent.
The Doreen schoolgirl is trying her luck in the new season of Australia’s Got Talent in the hope of building a career as a singer.
Jael said auditioning for AGT is something she had always wanted to do.
“I’ve always wanted to be on TV but my dad told me to wait and practise,” she said.
“To see the judges in front of my eyes and hear the crowd cheering for me … it’s a dream come true.”
The Hazel Glen College student is no stranger to performing in front of a large audience as she represented Australia at Junior Eurovision last year.
“Junior Eurovision was so good. In AGT the audience was about 2000 people but at Junior Eurovision, there was 11,000 people,” she said.
Jael said performing in front of singer Nicole Scherzinger – who is one of the judges this season – was a highlight.
“I was very excited to see Nicole because I have watched her a lot. I never thought I would get to see her in person.”
Australia’s Got Talent airs on Channel Seven on Sunday and Monday nights.
