News Americas, KINGSTON, Jamaica, Thurs. April 9, 2015: Jamaican singer Tessanne Chin, winner of NBC reality show, The Voice, today got a second opportunity to thrill President Obama in song.

The singer performed on her home turf in Kingston at the University of the West Indies where Obama held a townhall forum for young leaders of the Americas.

“It was an honor to perform for my fellow Jamaicans and @barackobama #POTUS #UWI and to see some of our very own legends,” Chin tweeted earlier.

She performed a 30 minute set ahead of the arrival of the President to the 350 sitting in the Mona Assemby Hall in Kingston.

Her set included ‘Everything Reminds of You,’ ‘Anything’s Possible’ and a rendition of Bob Marley’s ‘Redemption Song.’ Agent Sasco also joined her during the performance of ‘Everything Reminds Me Of You.’
