Abby has been singing and performing as long as she can remember. She started choir in Kindergarten and joined theater in the 2nd grade.

Song: "Love Me Like You Do" by Ellie Goulding

Performance:

Chevel Shepherd, 16

Team Kelly

Hometown: La Plata, New Mexico

Resident: La Plata, New Mexico


Chevel's powerful voice does not necessarily match her petite stature at just 16 years old. Chevel was raised on country music and the outdoors-often doing crafts, feeding the animals, and fixing up cars with her dad. Since Chevel was eight, she has been singing in town wherever she can, but there aren't a lot of music opportunities where she lives. Chevel is ready for her talents to be heard BEYOND her small town.


Song: "You Look So Good In Love" by George Strait

Performance:

Dave Fenley, 39

Team Blake

Hometown: San Antonio, Texas

Resident: Nashville, Tennessee


Dave grew up singing in church like most, but it wasn't until college that he decided he wanted to pursue music. Against his parents' wishes, he made the hard decision to drop out of college and start performing. Dave worked odd jobs to pay the bills and would gig as much as possible at night. As the gigs picked up, he was able to do music full-time. Dave now lives in NASHVILLE with his wife Eden, performs at private events, and writes songs for a living.

Currently, Delaney struggles to find a balance between working to be financially stable and dedicating her time to performing.

Franc spent his childhood watching his mother lead and direct the church choir. Inspired, he quickly learned to play the piano and drums, but didn't discover his voice until joining the United States Navy. Franc infused music into his position as a cadence caller, making up songs instead of yelling the traditional "left, right, left" until he was honorably discharged. After nearly a decade of indie songwriting, recording and open mic nights, he moved to ATLANTA to pursue music on a larger scale. His goal is to show his 12-year-old son how to pursue and achieve his own dreams.

Just as things were looking up, Jake's mom became ill and was bedridden with Lyme disease and Hashimoto, an autoimmune disorder. As she got better Jake HIT THE ROAD to play his own music.
