Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Here’s more about Deejay:

* During his Voice bio segment, we learned that Deejay joined the national tour of “Hamilton” in 2019 as a principal standby and wound up covering five of the seven main roles in the show.

* He’s performed and won awards for his performance in several other shows as well, including “Hairspray,” “Rent” and “Ain’t Misbehavin’,” according to his website.

* Deejay got his start in musical theater at age 5, that website says, performing in the national tour of “Daddy Please Don’t Leave.”

* What we didn’t learn on the show is that DeeJay’s also released a good deal of music, including a 12-track album called “Primitive” in 2020.

* You can check out music videos for nine songs on that album on Deejay’s YouTube channel. Check out the most recent for a song called “One” below.

* His other major releases include an album called “Rebirth” from 2013 and a 2017 holiday album called “An Unplugged Christmas.”

* Its a chance to portray his own artistry that has him most excited about The Voice opportunity, he told News Channel 8 in Tampa.

* “I’m just grateful to be able to share my gift and just show who I am as an artist, not a character. I get to really show who I am and show the light and the gift that god’s blessed me with.”

* Deejay’s Spotify bio says he’s also worked with a number of gospel artists, including Yolanda Adams, the Winans and Mary Mary.
