A Dunedin High teen is putting her singing talents on display tonight, Oct. 1, on NBC's "The Voice."
Nathalie Hernandez is scheduled to appear on tonight's episode of the reality signing competition, according to Jamie Munns, the family and community liaison at San Jose Elementary, Hernandez's former school.
The Dunedin singer and songwriter, who won the 2011 Largo Teen Idol competition as a 14-year-old, told a Yahoo! blogger last year that she wrote her first song at age 11. "I write and play because it's how I express how I feel," she said in the interview. "I'm not selfish or overconfident, I just want to play my music and hope that other people can relate to it."
Several of Hernandez's original songs are posted on YouTube.
"The Voice," featuring celebrity judges Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton, CeeLo Green and Adam Levine, airs at 8 p.m. Monday on NBC.

Proud to call Nathalie a friend and my neighbor. She did an amazing job and we are all so proud of her. Surreal watching her tonight and I was amazed at how quickly the first two judges hit their buttons....especially Cristina. Nathalie is one of Dunedin's many secrets and I hope she does well and gets the national exposure she deserves. Many in Dunedin have the opportunity to hear her sing...it's time to let he rest of the country hear this amazing and talented young lady. So proud of you Nathalie. BTW - today is her birthday....Happy 16th!!!!!!!!
