What happened to Hailey Mia's eyes?
Hailey's passion for music started at a young age, singing practically from the moment she learned to talk. When she was eight years old, she faced a challenge with her eyesight and needed surgery to improve it. Despite this, music remained her constant companion through the tough times.
Following a successful operation, she regained over 30% of her vision. Inspired by her passion for music, she taught herself how to read sheet music and play the piano. Hailey actively participates in choirs and talent shows, showcasing her musical talents. She's now gearing up to attend a technical high school, where she'll have the opportunity to further hone her skills in vocal performance.
