Top 3 Finalists in CBS Music Competition

This morning, "CBS Mornings" announced the top three finalists in its "Mixtape Music Competition," a platform designed to showcase emerging musical talent. These finalists will have the opportunity to be featured in the "Mixtape Moments" series and participate in a new national marketing campaign. The competition invited musicians and singers from across the country to submit their renditions of Johnny Nash's iconic song "I Can See Clearly Now." From a pool of numerous entries, 14 semifinalists were selected, and after careful consideration, the field has been narrowed down to three standout finalists. Viewers can look forward to watching their performances and learning about their personal stories, culminating in a winner who will record their version of the classic song and appear on "CBS Mornings." Among the finalists is a Cincinnati mother of two, whose passion for gospel music was ignited by her childhood experiences singing in church. Following the passing of her mother, she began sharing her cover songs online, gaining recognition for her heartfelt performances. Another finalist, Kyndle, has a background in her family's worship band and, alongside her songwriter husband, relocated to Nashville to pursue their musical aspirations. The competition will conclude with the announcement of the winner on September 3, promising an exciting finale for fans and participants alike.
