Joshua Vacanti from The Voice Season 21
The Voice returns to NBC on Monday, Sept. 20. Here’s more about Joshua.
* On Instagram, he identifies himself as singer and worship leader from Lockport, N.Y.
* That said, there are very few performance videos on his Instagram. One exception, a December 2020 performance of “Light of the World” in which he’s accompanied by wife Sam.
* They also duet on an original called “I’m You” which hit YouTube in September 2020. You can check it out below.
* Based on older interviews with the Union-Sun & Journal of Lockport, Joshua began singing at a young age, which eventually led to performances at Lockport Assembly of God Church.
* In 2008, at age 15, he won a Spotlight on Talent competition at the Palace Theatre with a performance of Mariah Carey’s “Hero” that you can still find on YouTube.
* He was also the Niagara Falls Idol winner for 2008 and 2009 and, at age 16, was invited to audition for America’s Got Talent.
* In 2014, he made the finals of the Youth for Truth Joyful Noise competition. He also served as lead vocalist for the Joyful Noise band.
* He graduated from Buffalo State University in 2016 with a bachelor’s degree in vocal music.
* Since college, Joshua said he’s focused a lot on worship music and leads worship regularly with his wife at The Chapel at CrossPoint, and with his family’s worship band, Direct Worship.
* Says Joshua: “I grew up singing in the church and it’s a huge part of my musical identity and why I wanted to have a career in music. I feel that all my musical endeavors always stem from my love of worship music. Even when I am performing something secular or more theatrical, I approach it the same way I approach leading worship.”
