MEET THE ARTISTS
Sam Behymer- Team Adam
Sam, a Texas-native, always felt out of place growing up until she moved to California and found other artists like her. She is a Pepperdine graduate and a full-time nanny, living in Los Angeles. With her new zip code and confidence, Sam is stepping into the spotlight in the hopes of making it on The Voice. Follow Sam on Twitter at @TheGreatSamboni.
Christina Grimmie- Team Adam
Christina first started her career on
Youtube and now has more than two million subscribers. Her
Youtube popularity landed her an opening spot on the
Selena Gomez tour, but she has yet to land a record deal.
The Voice is her shot to make it big outside of the online world. Follow Christina on Twitter at @TheRealGrimmie.
Ryan Whyte Maloney- Team Blake
Ryan's mother played in a band, which sparked his interest in music. Starting in high school, he played in his own band and worked as a garbage man to pay the bills. He is currently living in Las Vegas and hopes
The Voice will be his big break. Follow Ryan on Twitter at @RyanMaloney1981.
Kaleigh Glanton- Team Blake
Growing up, Kaleigh's father played guitar professionally and taught her how to play. In high school, Kaleigh and her dad became a guitar duo, performing at restaurants, weddings, and parties. This is the first time Kaleigh is stepping away from her family duo and hopes to gain the confidence she needs to pursue a solo career. Follow Kaleigh on Twitter at @KaleighGlanton.
Cierra Mickens- Team Usher (Stolen from Team Shakira)
Cierra grew up on a military base in Alaska. Even though she lived in the great outdoors, she spent most of her time singing inside. She had wanted to be a lawyer, and has a degree in criminal justice and political science. Now that she has earned her degree, it's time to give music one last shot. Follow Cierra on Twitter at @CierraMickens.
Emily B.- Team Shakira
Emily grew up in Idaho and was a part of the local music scene. She wanted to pursue music further and moved to Los Angeles where she worked as a session singer. One day at a routine eye exam, she was told she had VHL, a condition that led to two brain surgeries and four eye surgeries. After overcoming these obstacles, Emily is ready to continue pushing forward with her singing career. Follow Emily on Twitter at @EmilyBeMusic.
Kristen Merlin- Team Shakira
Kristen has always faced ridicule for her tomboy appearance. She loves music and wants to use her passion and the national platform of
The Voice to represent others who may be judged by how they look and not who they are. Follow Kristen on Twitter at @KristenMerlin.
