Kaeyra, from Algonquin, Illinois, will audition on 'American Idol' airing this Sunday night on ABC.
The daughter of Polish immigrants, Kaeyra spent time every day at her mom's music school in Schaumburg. She's done the local circuit from sporting events to Lollapalooza and clubs, and now, the 21-year-old is now ready for "Idol."
Kaeyra gives a lot of credit for her determination to her immigrant parents: "It's the reason why I'm so hardworking: seeing how hard they are working, coming from Poland and making their own businesses, and just making it work, learning the language along the way. Just seeing their work ethic and making connections."
