“What Child Is This?” Performed by 11-year-old Reese Oliveira, soprano for One Voice Children’s Choir in Utah/USA. In this music video, Reese is accompanied on the piano by Masa Fukuda, music arranger and producer. Brynnley Seipert, a ballerina of nine years, joins the music video production as she artistically dances along in representation of an angel dancing in celebration of Christ’s birth.
The video was filmed at Northampton House in American Fork, Utah. Northampton house was originally built in 1903 as a LDS church for the American Fork third ward. The beautiful gothic style showcases a stained glass window, decorative moldings, and unique stenciling. The historic building is now used as a wedding reception and event center. The architecture of this historic location in the main ballroom (and beautiful stained-glass windows!) created the perfect backdrop for Reese to sing, “What Child Is This?”
This music video, “What Child Is This?” is the latest mother/daughter combination of inspirational Christian music videos produced by Reese and and her mom, Suzy. As of the publication of this video (November 28, 2016), other videos created by Reese and Suzy have surpassed 2.2 million views across Facebook and TH-cam. Previous notable productions include “Gethsemane” (April 2015) and “I Feel My Savior’s Love” (March 2016) which feature Reese as the main soloist, in addition to original artwork created by her mom. All of Reese’s music videos have been musically produced by Masa Fukuda, director of One Voice Children’s Choir.
Reese loves to perform and has portrayed Young Cosette in Les Miserables at Hale Center Theater Orem, Child #1 in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” at Hale Center Theater Orem, and Annie in “Annie Jr.” for Barlow Arts Conservatory. She is the oldest of five children and in sixth grade.
Masa Fukuda is the director of One Voice Children’s Choir. He is an international award-winning composer, arranger, and producer.

His music was used during the 2002 Winter Olympics Games and was featured on the gold-faced commemorative CD for the Olympics “Light Up the Land.” In 2003, he was awarded with the rare John Lennon “Dream Power” Music Award presented by Yoko Ono and George Martin for his original music “Innocence of Youth” (lyrics by Jeannine Lasky).
