Kenzie Wheeler, 23, shocked the judges of The Voice when he participated in the blind audition round.
The Florida native was working at a grocery store warehouse and performing karaoke at local restaurants prior to auditioning for The Voice.
According to TalentRecap.com, Kenzie won Tampa Teen Idol back in 2016 singing Chris Janson’s song Buy Me a Boat.
Five years later, his mom Patty encouraged Wheeler and filled out the application for The Voice for him, according to Parade.com.

He dished to Parade about his chance at auditioning, saying: “My mom has always been one of my biggest supporters and she’s always helped me through so much with music and through life.
“I put this off for a while. I always wanted to give The Voice, a try, a shot, I guess this past year was the time.
Adding: “She helped me put it together, so I sent the video in and here we are.”

What does the winner of The Voice 2021 get?
The winner of each season of The Voice reportedly gets $100,000 and a record deal with Universal Music Group.
By comparison, the winner of American Idol reportedly earns $250,000, plus a $1,000 weekly stipend while recording their album.
However, at times The Voice’s winner’s celebrity coach offers other perks to the champion.
Judge Blake Shelton has taken winners from his team on tour with him and has tried to push Universal Music Group to properly promote their records.

Wheeler told Parade that winning the contest would let him “show the world” his voice.
“I want to win The Voice because of what it could do to my future, my music, and getting signed to a label, and going out and showing the world my voice,” said Wheeler.
“That’s really what it’s all about. It’s a great experience and I’ve loved every second of it.”
