Katy
Scoliosis superhero
When Katy tried out for NBC’s singing competition, The Voice, in 2015, the pre-audition judges never suspected that she was breathless by the song's end due to her scoliosis, a condition she was diagnosed with at birth.
Just a few weeks after her audition, Katy underwent spinal fusion surgery at Shriners Hospitals for Children to correct a 68-degree curve, a procedure that would save her singing career. In just two weeks, Katy was back on stage.
Katy now uses social media as an outlet to share her experiences with scoliosis and to help others. She documents her experiences on Instagram under the profile @Scoliosis.Superhero.
