A contestant on The Voice who vowed to “crush stereotypes” in her Blind Audition has offered a powerful message of hope to other young Muslims in an interview with the TODAY Show this morning.

The Muslim Australian’s performance of the Civil Wars and Taylor Swift’s “Safe and Sound” earned her an immediate fan in judge Boy George, who said he agreed with her “loving, unifying message”.

The 17-year-old told co-hosts Kyle Stefanovic and Lisa Wilkinson this morning that she felt “a little bit overwhelmed” by the experience.

“I entered on a little bit of a whim… Then it end up being so much bigger,” the Toowoomba resident and hijab-wearing teen said.

“Were you worried about how it would be perceived?” Wilkinson asked.

“Obviously I was a little bit concerned,” Brittania replied.

“Because you know there is a prejudice that exists. Yeah, that was definitely in the back of my mind.

“(But) diversifying the industry is something that’s very important to me.”

Stefanovic asked Brittania whether she had faced challenges within her community in the course of pursuing music.

The teen denied this was case, citing the local Muslim community’s cultural diversity as well as its attitude of inclusivity and understanding.

“I take a lot of confidence from that,” she said.

Brittania said that if she had any message herself to give to other young Muslims like herself, it would be to “have strength in their dreams”.

“I suppose we are living in a bit of a difficult time, (but) the best way to combat that is to just live our life as normal and follow our dreams as normal and just give it 100 percent, because there’s a really supportive community out there,” she said.

Brittania also lavished praise on her fellow performers, and said that while she felt a little intimidated, she remained grateful for her experience thus far.

“I’m willing to give it my all. And regardless of how far I get into the competition, just to get this far has been a really, really amazing experience,” she said.
