Samuel Chastain
I started music around 2020, and developed a habit of wanting to play for people live in person. I was originally inspired by my late step-grandfather, Jerry Harris, to approach music as a hobby and if it's in God's hands, then I will be able to chase that hobby as a career. I hope y'all enjoy/enjoyed my performance.

Kayla Dos Santos
My name is Kayla Dos Santos. I am from Rhode Island and I just moved to Odessa TX about a month ago. I am 26 years old and I’ve been signing since I could talk! Music has always been a HUGE part of my life. It was always there for me when I couldn’t express myself or when I felt like all I had was music. I attended a performing arts high school graduated in 2014 and I was able to sing, take voice lessons and perform all the time! I’m super excited to be apart of this talent show and I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I enjoyed auditioning for it!

Hi I'm Mikayla Heard, I'm 24 years old and currently I am a vocalist and an artist. I have a husband and 2 beautiful kids! I will be singing for Odessa Got Talent. Singing has been one of the biggest aspects my life. It takes my worries away and helps me to reset my mind, its a passion! I've always loved to sing since I was 7,  for about 18 years.  I grew up in Odessa singing in church and in school choir, karaoke here and there, but I still continue to sing in church! It's therapeutic for me, and I'm so grateful for this opportunity to compete! ​
