Her audition: Peyton Parker, 20, of Kennesaw, Ga., auditioned with Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams.” She enticed early chair turns from Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera and Pharrell Williams with her strong performance. Blake praised her “perfect pitch.” Despite lots of pressure not to make the obvious choice, Peyton opted to join Team Blake.
Her background: Growing up, Peyton says she was “super passionate” about cheerleading. She hoped to land a scholarship, then perhaps become a cheerleading coach so she could remain involved in it for the rest of her life. She wound up competing at a high level in cheerleading, until she tore ligaments in her ankle, ending her cheerleading career. That’s when she turned to music. Along with her decision to pursue a new passion, Peyton asked her parents to move to Nashville. They complied. Her mom is now her manager and Peyton — who describes herself as “not a typical country singer” — performs around town.
