He performed Usher’s “Caught Up” for his audition and impressed the judges.
“I want more!” said judge Kelsea Ballerini.
“What’s your name, where are you from and where have you been all my life?” judge Michael Bublé asked. “You are a complete joy. You rock. Thank God for you.”
Judge Adam Levine compared his energy to CeeLo Green’s, and said both have “amazing electricity.”

Four coaches critique the artists' performances and guide their teams of selected artists through the remainder of the season. Coaches for the 27th season are Adam Levine, John Legend, Michael Bublé and Kelsea Ballerini.
