Anthony Arya, 15

Team Adam

Hometown: Santa Cruz, California

Resident: Santa Cruz, California


Unlike most 15 year olds, Anthony prefers to spend his time busking on the streets of San Francisco in front of local bars and cafes. His mother inspired this lifestyle by introducing him to music at a young age. Through his mother, Anthony met Harvey Mandel who once played at Woodstock and has been performing with his band for the last six months. Anthony also performs his original songs at local venues and plays jazz guitar in the Kuumbwa Jazz Honor Band.


Song: "Danny's Song" by Loggins & Messina

Performance:

Audri Bartholomew, 19

Team Jennifer

Hometown: Pasadena, California

Resident: St. Louis, Missouri


Music has always been influential in Audri's family. She became inspired after singing in the church and from her father who is a rapper. Audri fluently speaks two languages and sings in six, but has often struggled with being biracial. As the NEW GIRL throughout high school, the drama club and choir was a place she finally fit in. Audri's big musical moment was singing Kelly Clarkson's "A Moment Like This" at her high school graduation. Currently, Audri is attending Millikin University in Illinois where she is an honors student studying musical theater.


Song: "Never Enough" by Loren Allred

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: "If I Die Young" by The Band Perry

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.


Song: "Help Me Hold On" by Travis Tritt

Performance:

Delaney Silvernell, 21

Team Kelly

Hometown: Queensbury, New York

Resident: Los Angeles, California


Delaney has always been eager to chase her dreams. Her family comes from a wrestling background, but Delaney often ran into difficulties being one of the few female wrestlers on the team. Delaney then turned to musical theater, which inspired her to study music after high school. She worked hard to graduate college early and immediately moved to Los Angeles to jumpstart her music career. Currently, Delaney struggles to find a balance between working to be financially stable and dedicating her time to performing.


Song: "In My Blood" by Shawn Mendes

Performance:

Kymberli Joye, 26

Team Kelly

Hometown: Windsor, Connecticut

Resident: Windsor, Connecticut


Music and church are two very important aspects in Kymberli's life. She is a worship leader, minister and sings in the choir at her church where her parents are pastors. Kymberli was able to find her personality and artistry in her college gospel choir. For the past seven years, she has been working alongside billboard-topping gospel singer, J.J. Hairston. One of the albums they recorded has been nominated for a Grammy. Kymberli is ready to step into her own spotlight on THE VOICE stage.


Song: "Run To You" by Whitney Houston

Performance:

Natasia Greycloud, 29

Team Jennifer

Hometown: Newberg, Oregon

Resident: Nashville, Tennessee


Natasia is no stranger to doing whatever it takes to pursue her dreams. She always loved music, but was too shy in high school to perform. After graduation, she married her high school sweetheart and gigged around, but the pressure of a young marriage was overwhelming. In a brave decision, Natasia left her husband and moved with her sister to Nashville. Natasia's sister is her number one supporter. While she still gigs, Natasia is hoping THE VOICE will give her the fresh starts she's been craving.


Song: "I'm Not The Only One" by Sam Smith

Rachel Messer, 19

Team Blake

Resident: Fort Gay, West Virginia


Rachel, a talented yodeler, performs for Billie Jean Osborne's Kentucky Opry where she sings and plays the mandolin for sold out shows. She started singing in church at eight years old, but was often teased about her dream. At 15, her parents decided to homeschool her so she could focus on music and academics. After winning her first big talent competition at 16, she knew she was on the right path. After stepping onto a plane for the first time, Rachel comes to THE VOICE to prove she's dedicated to making her dreams come true.

Performance:

Steve Memmolo, 35

Team Adam

Steve has always been an entertainer, even as a young kid. His father put the musical bug in his ear by playing him Frank Sinatra. Sadly, when Steve was twenty years old his father was killed in a tragic accident. His dad was always supportive of his music and in order to heal Steve started a band. He now owns and operates his own party band in Boston called Classic Yellow, where they play at weddings and CORPORATE events. In addition to music, Steve also does improv comedy once a week. He feels at home wherever he can entertain and knows his dad would be proud.
