Millions of children dream about becoming superstars, and using their talents to reach audiences around the world. Priscilla’s dreams revolve around music—she wants to be a professional singer.
Priscilla is 13 years old, and when the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Southern Florida entered her life, she knew exactly what she wanted to do. She wanted to record her very own CD. With a little help from her new friends—namely legendary music producer Emilio Estefan—Priscilla can now proudly call herself a professional recording artist.
After determining her wish, the budding young star was whisked to Miami for a star-studded weekend. After spending her first evening at a 5-star hotel, the hotel staff knew they had a celebrity on their hands. At the hotel salon, Priscilla received a full makeover, before she headed to her photo shoot—after all, every professionally recorded CD needs a cover.
Finally, Priscilla arrived at Emilio’s studio—the same location artists such as Jon Secada and Emilio’s wife Gloria began their paths to stardom. Priscilla never imagined that she would achieve her lifelong dream by recording with one of the world’s most renowned music producers, and much less that it would happen when she was 13 years old.
After a long afternoon in the studio, Priscilla’s CD was completed and the music industry was introduced to its newest recording artist.
