Who are Abby and Ellie Smith?
If there is such a thing as a "musical gene," two siblings in a remote part of Nashville are living proof of its existence. This singing duet is made up of Abby and Ellie Smith, who have determined to make a name for themselves in the world with their incredible talent. They were nourished, reared, and soaked in a beautiful musical backdrop of song and poetry that came as readily as talking and walking, thanks to parents who were engrossed in creativity. They share a bond that could only be formed in the crucible of intense love. Mom instilled in them the importance of Christian principles, and Dad instilled in them the ability to sing harmoniously. Their voices cover all the emotional spectrums, from melancholy to motivating, and the mounds of love that want to be embraced that lay in between.
Abby and Ellie Smith are two of Angie and Todd Smith's five daughters. Angie Smith is a well-known keynote speaker, best-selling author, and blogger. Her greatest desire is to make the Bible feel more approachable and current by sharing her ups and downs as she supports people in their faith. She resides in Nashville, Tennessee, with her husband and kids. Her husband Todd, on the other hand, is an American vocalist and founding member of the contemporary Christian music band Selah. He has been a founder member of the organization since its inception in 1997. Given their parents' backgrounds, the sibling duo was reared in a home of religion and belief.
Both sisters attended Christian schools and are influenced by Christianity in their daily lives. On Sandi Patty's cruise in 2015, they sang a Lauren Daigle song on stage for the first time in the company of their father. As their father shared the clip on his Facebook account, the then-13-year-olds were fast to capture the audience as well as viewers on social media. The Nashville sibling duo is now preparing to impress the 'AGT' judges and audience with their exquisite performance.
Tune in to NBC on Tuesday at 8 pm to see the sibling duet live. The latest episode of Season 17 of 'America's Got Talent' promises even more moving performances.
