Thia Megia (born Thialorei Lising Megia; January 30, 1995) is a Filipino-American singer from Mountain House, San Joaquin County, California. Megia finished in the top 11 of the tenth season of American Idol.
When I found out I was in the top 13 I was freaking out and crying it was such a joyous moment for me.
Singing is my passion and I always wanted to travel the country.
I am very excited about the future.
In the future, I see me as being my own artist and definitely not a ballad singer!
I get nervous every time, for every single performance, before getting up on that stage.
I prefer to sing in the shower 'cause the acoustics are really, really good, I mean, when you're singing against the tile walls then you really hear yourself, hear your voice, you know, throwing itself back at you.
The best thing about being on tour is meeting the fans.
Our lack of perfection should remind us that no one has the right to judge other's worth.
Once I'm on stage, the energy of the crowd wipes my nerves away.
The type of music that I love to sing would have to be more bluesy and jazzy and more soul-like because I love to belt when it comes to singing, so I guess bigger songs are what I lean more towards.
You're never too young for something you really want to do, never too young to go after your passion. The age doesn't matter at all. If it's something you want to do, it depends on your will.
I try to reach out to my idols.
Describing the person I am would best be through music. When I'm up on stage and I'm singing my heart out, I am always reminded of life's best things.
