Asia’h Epperson talent was visible even as a child. Growing up in Joplin, Missourie Asia’h was really into choir at a very early age. She went on to be part of the honors choir for Southwest Missourie.

None of her former teachers were surprised to hear that Asia’h had made it to the top 24 in the American Idol competition.The competition itself completely took over the locals in Joplin. Literally everybody would tune in to watch American Idol to watch Asia’h Epperson perform. And perform she did.

After that emotion filled audtion in Atlanta on Feb 5th 2008, Asia’h had pretty much the entire Joplin community along with a vast majority of Americans rooting for her. As the American Idol top 24 cutoff approached, excitement reached fever pitch.

The locals in Joplin even organized a community party of sorts to bring people together to root for and support Asia’h Epperson. The show was scheduled to be beamed onto a Giant screen inside the Foundry which is the music venue at the Bridge.Asia’h Epperson did not disappoint. She went on to put in a flawless performance and before the night was out Asia’h was among the 12 male and 12 female singers who made the cut during Hollywood week. Next stop Hollywood. Go Asia’h Epperson Go, You rock girl.
