Georgia Brown is a Brazilian pop singer notable for her extensive vocal range. She is the current Guinness World Records holder for singing the highest recorded vocal note and also possessing the largest recorded vocal range, which spans exactly 8 octaves from G2-G10. It has been verified by comparing the frequency of the note to that of a piano, a violin, and a Hammond organ, according to the The Guinness Book of World Records. This is known as being a Full Dramatic Coloratura Soprano. Other noted Coloratura Sopranos are the well known Mariah Carey, Minnie Ripperton, Asia's Nightingale Lani Misalucha, Shanice, and male artist Adam Lopez and David Lee Roth.

Brown has performed since the age of 5. Her most impressive performances are the live performances of her hit "Mermaid", done totally in high notes (Whistle register), and the studio sessions version of another hit "It's A Pleasure". She hits an astounding G8, held for 7 seconds, rather than the G6 like on the album version. Her highest recorded note was a G10, dog whistle high, but in a live performance she had managed to reach what some believe to be an impossible G12, the highest note for humankind.
