Her audition: Katie Basden, 23, of Durham, N.C., auditioned with the Allman Brothers “Midnight Rider.” She enticed chair turns from Pharrell Williams and Adam Levine early in the performance. A big note near the end got Christina Aguilera to spin her chair as well. Blake Shelton’s team was already full at the time. In spite of Blake’s anti-Adam lobbying, that’s the team Katie opted to join.
Her background: As she was growing up, Katie says she and her dad would listen to classic rock together. She adds that she’s always been singing, whether it was in church choirs of children’s choirs. After high school, she attended the Belmont University School of Music in Nashville. “I felt like I was gaining traction,” Katie says. Then she was called home because her dad was experiencing medical problems. Katie says she’s looking for The Voice to take her music career to the next level.
What the show didn’t show:
On iTunes: Her Voice performance plus the eight-track “Release the Sound” album from last year.
