4-year-old Miami girl becomes viral sensation

MIAMI – Disney has it's newest star and they don't even know it.

Yet.

Video of a 4-year-old Miami singing sensation belting out a Disney tune has gone viral throughout the world and people can't get enough.

Sophia went all out while singing How Far I'll Go from Moana during her Pre-K graduation on June 10.

Little Sophia leaves no dramatic show stopping move in the bag as she thrusts out her arms and stomps her feet while commanding center stage.

Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler, move over. There's a new queen of the stage.

Sophia's mother, Michelle Neshin, posted the video to Facebook so her grandmother could see the amazing performance.

Neshin says Sophia, who is the youngest and smallest in her class, loves the Moana soundtrack, so the performance just came naturally.

"She just came out there with all the gusto," Neshin said. "I think it didn't hit me until afterwards. Everyone was coming up to me asking, 'Did you watch her?' I think when I actually watched the video on my phone was when it hit me." 

The video has been seen over 11 million times and shared over 92,000 times.  

Sophia told Local 10 News reporter Sanela Sabovic that she is happy with all the attention she's getting from her singing.

Neshin said her daughter has an agent, and besides singing and dancing, she also acts and models. 

When she's a star of the silver screen, you can say you saw her here first!
