Following in the footsteps of Tessanne Chin who won The Voice in 2013 and Dalton Harris who topped X Factor UK in 2018, two-time Olympian Shevon Stoddart is taking to another track on America’s Got Talent which is aired on NBC.
The episode featuring the Jamaican-born athlete who represented the country in the 400-metre-hurdles at two Olympic Games (Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008) and three World Championships (Helsinki 2005, Osaka 2007 and Beijing 2015), will air on the American network this Tuesday at 7:00 pm Jamaican time, however the producers were so taken by Stoddart’s story and performance that a clip has been released to promote the episode.
The clip features a snippet of her performance of her original song Through The Good And Bad, for the panel of judges which includes chief judge Simon Cowell, Modern Family star Sofia Vergara and actor Howie Mandell.
The song and accompanying music video were released in November last year and caught the eyes of the producers of the popular talent show.
Her talents on the track were revealed during her high school years and earned her the New York state championship title over the 400 metres and a scholarship to the University of Southern Carolina.
