14-year-old Keren Montero earns the coveted golden buzzer with her awe-inspiring performance of ‘Rise Up’ on Dominicana’s Got Talent.

This powerful song was originally released by Andra Day in 2015. The tune climbed the Billboard charts and it was even was nominated for Best R&B Performance at the 58th Grammy Awards.

Years later, the song continues to be an anthem of strength and courage in the face of adversity.

“You’re broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry go round
And you can’t find the fighter
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
And move mountains”

Today, young Keren Montero is touching the hearts of the judges as she belts out the words of ‘Rise Up’ on Dominicana’s Got Talent. Keren is only 14 but she possesses a talent well beyond her years. After just a few notes, the performers backstage are completely stunned. Everyone had to stop and take another look at this powerhouse vocalist and her winning performance.

“And I’ll rise up
I’ll rise like the day
I’ll rise up
I’ll rise unafraid
I’ll rise up
And I’ll do it a thousand times again”

We later learned that Keren got her start singing in church but she was full of nerves as she stepped on the DGT stage. But that all disappeared the moment she started singing and Keren even earned the golden buzzer from one inspired judge. What a wonderful beginning for such an amazing voice. Who else wants to hear more from this teen talent?
