Eighteen Year Old's Audition Stuns Judge Michael Feinstein

In July, The Smith Conservatory's Mikayla Smith was selected for Michael Feinstein's The Songbook Academy in Carmel, Illinois. When The King's Academy's star senior vocalist first performed for the judges, they were stunned with Mr. Feinstein remarking, "Mikayla ... we'd like to know, what would YOU like to teach US?"
