Pinelands Regional High School ninth-grader Zinnia Moon, a singer, songwriter, ukulele player and pianist, has advanced to the grand finale in a music contest called Musicash, an online show that gives talented individuals the chance to reach their dreams and win big. This week she placed second out of 12 finalists by public voting. On Nov. 16, she will perform one of her (as-yet-untitled) original songs in the live grand finale of Musicash season one, to take place at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles.
To enter, Moon submitted a video of herself performing; she then promoted herself through social media to gain votes.
