Brother-Sister Duo Win Talent Competition

Each week, Shorewood Patch selects individual kids, youth groups, teens, and even sports teams that wow us with their accomplishments for our Whiz Kid feature.

This week’s Patch Whiz Kids are the sister-brother duo of Asharie and Andrew Tobias, the winners of the “Atwater Idol” talent show competition.

School: Atwater Elementary School.

Accomplishments: Asharie and Andrew brought down the house when they won the "Atwater Idol" competition March 18 with their performance of the Justin Bieber song, "Baby." 

Key to Awesomeness: Asharie and Andrew are from Milwaukee and attend school in Shorewood through open enrollment. Asharie, fifth grade, has attended Atwater since the second grade, when she was accepted through open enrollment. Her brother, Andrew, was able to begin K4 after attending K3 in Milwaukee.

Atwater Idol is an annual talent show sponsored by the Atwater Parent Teacher Organization. Acts audition a few days before the event and must be no longer than two minutes. The performer(s) provide their own music.

Lewis said the two are just naturally talented.

“They are both such performers,” she said. “Asharie won second place in a national pageant in Middleton, WI at the age of four.” 

Her brother, Andrew, who turned five March 20, is a performer as well.

“Andrew teaches himself all these dance moves from watching MTV’s "America’s Best Dance Crew. "He does it all by himself. He pop-locks and does hand stands and sings, too.” 

Their winning number was captured by Lewis on video, complete with Asharie's vocals and Andrew's killer dance moves.
