Capri Everitt
Canadian singer and children's activist
Capri Aliyah Everitt (born August 30, 2004) is a Canadian singer and children's activist who is best known for receiving a Guinness World Record for "most national anthems sung in their host countries in one year." She sang the national anthem in 80 countries between 2015 and 2016 (though only 76 counted for the record), and was eleven years old at the end of the tour. Everitt sang each country's national anthem in its own language, singing in 41 languages. The purpose of the tour was to raise money and awareness for orphaned and abandoned children, and all donations were given to SOS Children's Villages. A full-length documentary entitled Around the World in 80 Anthems has been made about the tour.
Biography
Capri Aliyah Everitt was born on August 30, 2004, and raised in Canada and started singing and playing the piano when she was five. Everitt's family were fans of the Guinness Book of World Records and Everitt felt inspired by the book The World Needs Your Kid. Everitt decided she wanted to sing as many anthems around the world as possible to raise money and awareness for orphaned and abandoned children. The plan was to raise money for SOS Children's Villages, which received all donations from the tour. Her parents sold their cars and rented out their home to finance the trip, and also received some funding for plane and train tickets from sponsors like Eurail and Flight Centre. The name of the tour was "Around the World in 80 Anthems" as a play on the name of the novel Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne.

Why this record matters
“Capri Everitt” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Capri, Everitt and Canadian provides the most credible route into that argument.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q51754485. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2004, 2015 and 2016.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
