鈥淚 think I was singing before I was even talking,鈥 Evans said.

That鈥檚 because it runs in the family. Evans was inspired to start singing after watching her mom perform at local shows and church services.听

鈥淪he鈥檚 the one who made me want to sing,鈥 said Evans. 鈥淛ust like she did.鈥澨

Growing up in Arlington, Evans attended Key Elementary, Boles Junior High and Martin High School and was heavily involved in her school orchestra and choir programs.

鈥淭hat period in my life made me who I am as an artist,鈥 Evans said. 鈥淕etting to be around music as much as I was every single day throughout high school and junior high changed how I write music and how much I love it.鈥

Evans says former Martin orchestra director Michael Stringer made a significant impact on where she is today.

鈥淗e was so passionate about music, and it made me love music even more,鈥 she said. 鈥淗e was such a big inspiration for me.鈥澨

Auditioning for “The Voice” recently was a dream come true for Evans, who grew up watching the show with her mom.

鈥淚n that moment, I was so torn,鈥 Evans said. 鈥淚 picked John because he said something about recognizing that I was a songwriter. I wanted somebody who could get me for the quirks and uniqueness that I bring to the table, and I felt like he got me for that.鈥澨

In the first round of “The Voice” Battles, Legend made an even harder decision to send Evan鈥檚 battle partner, Kaylee Shimizu, into the knockout rounds instead of Evans.

But Evan鈥檚 “Voice” journey was not over yet. With a steal from McEntire, she鈥檚 headed into the knockout rounds, too.

鈥淚 still can鈥檛 believe it,鈥 Evans said. 鈥淚t was such an honor that she wanted me during the blind auditions, and she took the chance to have me on her team now.鈥澨
