His audition: John Gilman, 23, Bayville, N.J., auditioned with Elvis Presley’s “Don’t Be Cruel.” His unique performance enticed a chair turns from Adam Levine, but no one else, meaning John became a member of Team Adam. The Maroon 5 frontman praised John’s precision and the courage he showed in deciding to cover an Elvis song.
His background: John lives in a log cabin with his two brothers. “There’s no wifi. There’s no cable TV,” he says. “But it’s nice because it gives us a lot of quality time to sit around and jam. It definitely allows me to be creative.” When John was young, he says his mom signed him up for a group called The Time Cruisers, a 1950s doo-wop cover group. To this day, John says the music he plays “has that older vibe to it” from the 1950s and ’60s, rockabilly and Delta blues. John says he’s worked a wide variety of jobs — including construction and work on a blimp — “but it got to the point where I knew I had to start doing my music again.”
