A father and daughter duet “The Prayer” LIVE and their performance gained positive comments, and some say, “It’s breathtakingly beautiful!”
Rarely do we hear such an amazing performance, but the story behind their LIVE performance is even more rare.
Father And Daughter Duet “The Prayer” – Behind Story
Father, Matthew Shaw and Savanna, 18-year-old daughter, started singing during the height of COVID-19 quarantine. They became known as the American-duo who lived in Utah.
As we all know, the usual things we could do before the pandemic ceased. Swimming on the beach, going to the movies, going to work, attending face to face classes, and many more. Concerts and social events were canceled, too.
Because of the pandemic, Savanna couldn’t attend her choir practices. She was so passionate about singing that she missed it so much including her choir friends. So, she created a music social media account.
At the beginning, Savanna was shy and nervous to sing her first song all by herself. Thankfully, her father, Mat, was ready to rescue her and joined her. Together, they sang “The Prayer” beautifully!

Mat and Savanna Went Viral
Mat and Savanna didn’t know and expected that their video would go viral!
Following the success of that video, Mat and Savanna proceeded to share duets on social media and streaming platforms, with several of their singles reaching the top charts throughout the world. They acquired over 640,000 YouTube subscribers after swiftly gaining a global following.
They “harmonize into billowy bliss,” according to the New York Times. Kelly Clarkson called them “incredibly gifted,” while Good Morning America said “this father-daughter duo’s music is bringing hope.”
Currently touring the globe, Mat and Savanna have performed on stages alongside a wide range of performers, including Jim Brickman, Ryan Seacrest, David Archuleta, Neon Trees, Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons, and The Piano Guys.
Who would have thought that a single video would spark so many open doors for them?
Indeed, the song dedicated to God may have led them to where they are now.
“I pray You’ll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don’t know
“Let this be our prayer
When we lose our way
“Lead us to a place
Guide us with Your grace
To a place where we’ll be safe”
