Jess Kellner is the singing hairdresser we met on the first blind audition episode of The Voice. That means doing hair by day and performing at night, a tiring routine the 21-year-old from Austin, Texas, says she’d like to take a break if she does well enough on the show.
Mark Andrew was the first male singer we heard perform during the blind auditions on The Voice. And he wound up becoming the first-ever member of Team Shakira.
