Season 25 begins Monday, Feb. 26, with the coaching quartet of John Legend, Reba McEntire, Chance the Rapper and Dan + Shay.
Here’s more about Gene:
* He’s from Brooklyn, a 34-year-old singer-songwriter who also plays guitar, bass and keys.
* And he’ll bring a diverse musical background to The Voice, having performed in musicals on national tours, according to his Spotify bio.
* He’s also performed on cruise ships and clearly excels covering classic rock. He calls Journey his favorite rock band from the 1980s.
* Gene has also released original music, to the tune of four singles, starting with 2019’s “Think It Over” and including “Still Hangin’ On,” “Overdose” and “Now I Can Smile.”
* The latter was released last January. You can check out the music video below.
* Writes Gene on his website: “Telling stories – mine or someone else’s – is my calling. That’s what life is about. There’s a story in everything. It’s hard to explain the joy of being able to emote and create a new world out of thin air.
* “So I sing, and write, and act,” he continues. “I literally can’t imagine doing anything else. Music and words and bring people together, changing both the storyteller and the audience. In olden times I think I would have been a traveling bard.”
* Oh, and he found a worthwhile endeavor during quarantine in 2020, creating a band called Alice Valentine with his three Brooklyn housemates and releasing a six-song EP called “Checking In.” Gene provided vocals and played bass on the project.
* On Spotify, Gene describes his own music as a “blend of soulful funky fun and catchy hooks with a low-fi vibe sensibility.”
