Early life

Megia was born in Hayward, California, to Cynthia and Loreto Megia.[3] Her parents, originally from Angeles, Pampanga, Philippines, emigrated to the United States in 1968 and changed their name from Mejia to Megia.[3] She attended Eden Gardens Elementary School in Hayward through the sixth grade, but was cyber-schooled online at California Virtual Academy,[4] when the family moved to Mountain House, California.[2]

She has won singing competitions in San Jose and Saratoga and has sung the national anthem at San Jose Giants, Stanford football and San Francisco 49ers games.[5][6] She also appeared on the TV show Showtime at the Apollo as the Kid Star of Tomorrow in 2008 when she was 13.[7]

Prior to Idol, however, Megia was best known for her appearance on the fourth season of America's Got Talent in 2009.[8] She made it to the quarterfinals, but was cut in the Top 40 round.[5] That same year, she was invited to sing at the David Foster and Friends concert in California.[9] She is the first America's Got Talent contestant to advance to voting rounds on American Idol.

Megia was one of the singers in Lisa Lavie's February 20, 2010, collaboration video "We Are the World 25 for Haiti (YouTube Edition)" for charity relief for victims of the January 12, 2010 Haiti earthquake, along with Jessica Sanchez.[10] The video's participants were collectively recognized as "Persons of the Week" on ABC World News with Diane Sawyer on Friday, March 19, 2010.[11]
