Abby Kasch, 20

Team Kelly (Saved by Kelly)

Hometown: Palos Park, Illinois

Resident: Nashville, Tennessee

Abby started singing at 12 years old. During high school, she continued to hone her skills and eventually formed a band. School wasn't easy as she was often bullied for her weight and could never win over her peers, despite her musical success outside of school. ABBY'S little sister idolizes her and that support inspired Abby to set a good example and head to Nashville to pursue her dream of becoming a country singer. Abby is ready to show her bullies how far she has come and hopes "The Voice" will prove she is on the right track.
