Idol Chatter & Voice Views

His audition: Adam David, 34, of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., “Baby, I Love Your Way” by Peter Frampton: Adam delivered a fine performance, with a reggae vibe, but got a chair turn only from Michael. In spite of an impressive ending. I’m wondering how many teams had spots available when he auditioned. Remember, The Voice DOES NOT show us these auditions in the order they really occurred. Michael praised Adam’s character voice and his control of the performance. Adam Levine and Kelsea Ballerini agreed Adam has a unique sound.

Here’s more about Adam:

* He’s a 34-year-old singer-songwriter, guitarist and producer from South Florida.

* He’s been performing since 2008, according to one online bio, and has opened for Gary Clark Jr. and the Black Crowes.

* In his web bio, Adam writes that he realized his love for music at a young age and was influenced by artists such as Ray Charles, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown and Stevie Wonder.

* “When I started playing guitar at 8, I had the desire to start singing. And I just always knew that’s exactly what I wanted to be doing,” he told The Voice.

* He’s a full-time musician, playing five to eight shows a week, he told the Voice.

* He describes his music as a blend of blues, soul, funk and rock, and his raspy vocals should be a hit with Voice fans.

* It’s unclear if he’s released music, but you can still find some of his older originals online.

* That includes a song from 2014 on Bandcamp and a quartet from around the same timeframe on Reverb Nation.

* He’s already lined up a busy schedule of 2025 show dates, including four within a week of The Voice’s Season 27 premiere.

* He’s also a recovering addict. He says March 28, 2019 was his clean date, and he returns to the treatment center he attended to perform for current clients there.

Update: He released a new song called “Savior” about his recovery from addiction on March 21. He performed thee new single live at Savor Cinema in Fort Lauderdale to celebrate his six-year recovery anniversary.
