Her audition: Abby Celso, 20, of Rochester, N.Y., auditioned with Tori Kelly’s “Should’ve Been Us.” She found her groove on the chorus, prompting Adam Levine to turn around. Pharrell Williams soon followed as Abby’s performance kept getting stronger. Pharrell told Abby “there’s nothing like you on this show.” Abby decided to join Team Pharrell.
Her background: As she was growing up, Abby says her father was in a band and would invite her up on stage to sing. That “drilled into my brain, ‘This is what I want to do.'” So she joined a band called The Swooners. They perform Motown, jazz and funk music, she says. Abby says her mom was always her number one fan, and encouraged her to try out for The Voice. She died of cancer in September. “She used to called me her songbird,” Abby says. “So I want to do this for her.”
