His audition: Owen Danoff, 25, of New York, N.Y., auditioned with “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” by Bob Dylan. His superb vocal earned nearly simultaneous chair turns from Christina Aguilera, Pharrell Williams and Adam Levine. Near the end of the performance, Blake Shelton turned as well, making Owen just the fifth artist to earn a four-chair turn in Season 10. Adam praised Owen’s “musical identity.” Owen decided to join Team Adam.
His background: He’s lived in Greenwich Village and says he enjoys residing in an area with so much artistic history. “Bob Dylan’s played here. Paul Simon’s played here. To be on the same stage as those people is a great deal.” Owen says he started singing when he was 10 or 11, but adds there’s always been music in his life. That’s largely because of his father, who wrote a couple of hits John Denver recorded, including “Take Me Home Country Road.” Then Bill Danoff formed Starland Vocal Band, which scored a Grammy-winning hit called “Afternoon Delight.” Owen says his dad always took a “hands-off approach” in terms of whether he pursued music. Of course, he’s trying to follow in his father’s footsteps. He chose his audition song because he says Bob Dylan is “one of my song-writing idols.”

On iTunes: His Voice performance, his 2015 single, his 2014 album and the five-track “Never Trust a Man” EP from 2012.
