Shyezee of The Voice Season 26

The Voice returns Monday night with the coaching quartet of Reba McEntire, Gwen Stefani, Snoop Dog and Michael Buble.

Here’s more about Shyezee.

* Shyezee is stage name for Shye Roberts, a 17-year-old singer-songwriter and student who’s attended Glen Cove High School in New York.

* She began singing at age 3 and participating in school plays in the third grade.

* In high school, Shye played the role of Teen Angel in “Grease” and the grandmother in “The Heights.”

* In 2022, at age 15, Shye competed in the Glen Cove Downtown Sounds Teen Idol competition and placed second.

* The same year, she was selected to sing “God Bless America” at the inauguration of Glen Cove Mayor Pamela Panzenbeck.

* And as part of a select choir from the Charter Arts vocal music department, she got to sing on stage with the rock band Foreigner at two shows in November 2023.

* Shye has yet to release music, but she performed an original called “Monsters” at a student showcase in Bethlehem, Pa., in April.

* You can check out that song below. Shye has posted another original, the impressive “Mold Into Gold,” on her YouTube channel, displaying vocals mature beyond her age. And check out the audience response.

* And in a March social media post, she performs “I Know Where I’ve Been” from Hairspray, writing: “It really resonates with me as a mixed person who has experienced many roadblocks even despite being white passing. Even more so, it beautifully represents the emotions and struggles of black people in America.”
