MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A gospel singer saw her dreams come true as her song climbed to the top of the charts this year, until COVID-19 almost left her without a voice to sing it.
...
After finally recording her first solo single and seeing it climb to No. 1, it would be months before Shontelle would be able to perform the song live.
She got COVID while recording the song.
“I could make it halfway through the song without losing my voice and losing my breath,” she said. “And I couldn’t do anything and it was like, I can’t talk. I can’t do this.”
She had reached the pinnacle of her career but now had no voice.
...
The symptoms lingered for two months, but she built back her strength and her vocals by singing and walking.
“I started singing my song, ‘Jesus Will Fix It,’ as I would walk around my neighborhood,” she said.
One weekend, she found she was able to sing again, “and I was like, ‘Alright, God, let’s go!’”
Shontelle goes back into the studio soon to work on her second single. She hopes to release her first album next year....
