The Voice returns Monday, Feb. 3, with the coaching quartet of Michael Buble, Adam Levine, John Legend and Kelsea Ballerini.
Here’s more about Ricardo.
* He’s a bilingual singer in his mid-20s from Los Angeles.
* And he built quite a following on TikTok, with more than 155,000 followers and more than 3.7 million likes on his posts there.
* Three clips of Ricardo singing in Spanish have more than 1 million views on the site. One has 8 million.
* But the young man also sounds great singing in English. Just check out his cover of “Georgia on My Mind” below.
* Back in 2015, at age 15, he apparently competed in the Univision singing competition La Banda in which the winners were placed in bands.
* A Univision clip from the time says Ricardo was already famous singing at his church and wanted to take his talent to the next level.
* In announcing his appearance on The Voice, Ricardo writes: “I prayed for opportunities like these and god blessed with this. I’m excited to say I auditioned for Season 27.”
