Dreaming big while facing major hurdles takes remarkable courage. On October 15, 2025, Emmy-winning journalist Tamron Hall welcomed a group of gifted youngsters to a Season 7 episode of the Tamron Hall Show titled “Little Dreamers, Big Dreams.” The programme featured budding Broadway performer Eric Williams, Grammy-nominated singer Deborah Cox, young magician Shoji Naruishi, magician Asi Wind and Gracie’s Corner star Graceyn Hollingsworth. Among the guests was 10-year-old Anabelle Avery Adamson, a blind singer-songwriter and musician whose determination and musical gifts made a powerful impression on the audience.
Taking centre stage before the studio audience, affectionately known as the “Tam Fam,” Anabelle performed her original composition, “The Light I Cannot See.” Singing while accompanying herself on the piano, she used her lyrics and melody to express her personal experience of living without sight. Her heartfelt delivery resonated with viewers, one of whom praised the way she told her story not only through words, but also through the notes she played and her beautiful singing voice.
Anabelle’s perspective on experiencing light without being able to see it has touched many of those who have heard her song. Her lyrics and determination offer an uplifting reminder that artistic vision is not dependent upon physical sight. Some viewers were reminded of celebrated blind musicians such as Stevie Wonder, although Anabelle is clearly developing her own musical identity. One commenter suggested that, just as Wonder has written and performed beautiful music, Anabelle could continue pursuing her passion and building a bright future of her own.
Another memorable moment came when Tamron Hall presented the young musician with a special surprise. Recognising Anabelle’s enthusiasm for music, Hall gave her a new violin to support her desire to learn another instrument. The thoughtful gift delighted Anabelle and opened the door to another stage in her musical development. Viewers can now follow the young performer as she continues writing songs, playing the piano and exploring what she may be able to achieve with her new violin.
Following her television appearance, Anabelle began practising with the instrument and shared her excitement with viewers. In the comments beneath the performance video, she identified herself as the girl who had sung for Tamron Hall, expressed her affection for the host and said she had been practising with her beautiful new violin. Her message offered a charming update and showed that Hall’s gift was already helping her explore another side of music.
The online community responded with warm encouragement as Anabelle began this new chapter. One supporter said they were excited for her to start learning the violin and hoped to see her making beautiful music onstage in the future. With her resilience, evident musical ability and a new instrument to discover, Anabelle Avery Adamson has already taken several impressive steps towards her dreams. Wherever her musical journey leads, her performance has introduced audiences to a promising young artist with a deeply personal story to tell.
