A DABAWENYA singer shines in the first episode of ABS-CBN's The Voice Kids Season 4 as she became the first member of team Bamboo.

Tiffany Shane Vistal, 11, wowed everyone, especially coaches Bamboo and Lea, with her cover of Demi Lovato's "Stone Cold."

Bamboo said it's not the cleanest performance but what she did was exceptional.

"I'm super happy that I did it. I thank God for giving me this opportunity. Now, I believe more in my favorite motto: True courage is pursuing your dreams even when everyone says it's impossible," she said.

Vistal started singing at the age of 3 with a Strawberry Shortcake song -- True Friends are Forever.

The little singer has joined numerous singing contests before she auditioned to The Voice Kids.

"I don't know what will happen next in this competition, but I will give my best. I believe I can do it with the almighty God's guidance and protection," she said.

Vistal is also a model at Davao-based talent agency Marfori Studios.
