Here’s more about Micah.
* One of nine children and the son of missionary parents, he was born near Tokyo, Japan, and spent his childhood there.
* He’s a 2016 graduate of the University of Virginia, where he majored in English and religious studies.
* More important, from The Voice viewpoint, he served as president of the Virginia Gentlemen, an a cappella group that performs dozens of shows every year.
* While Micah was singing with the group, they traveled to the White House to perform a Christmas show in December 2014 and released an album of covers called “Full Attire” in the winter of 2015.
* And when Micah was a senior, the group traveled to Antarctica, marking the completion of the Virginia Gentlemen’s 63-year quest to visit visit all seven continents.
* Head here for a story on that trip and you’ll see Micah and the rest of the group posing in front of a flock of penguins and horseback riding near Tierra del Fuego, the world’s southernmost town.
* The Virginia Gentlemen performed several times during the voyage to Antarctica, tailoring their set list to fit the older age of the passengers, Micah said.
* He summed up his experience with the a cappella group this way: “The people I’ve met and the stories they’ve shared have changed my perception of my own future and what is possible.”
* As for his own music, Micah has posted a couple of covers on his Instagram page. I’ve embedded his only YouTube cover below.
* And in a 2017 post, he called watching Dashboard Confessional in concert with his brothers “the best day I can ever remember … He is part of the reason I do music at all. Thanks to my older brothers for showing me what true emo is all about.”
* And in the fun facts section of a University of Virginia bio, Micah writes: “I speak Japanese. I’m really great at catching food in my mouth, and I can quote all of The Lord of the Rings.”
* Upon graduation, he took a job as an investment analyst, but quit so he could pursue music. He also works at his brother’s brewery.

Joei Fulco, I’ve personally watched you grow as a singer/song writer and think you are ready for this challenge. Your voice brings a bouquet of sounds from smooth, deep, buttery to edgy, raspy, dramatic and soulful. You’re a powerful force that can bring traditional songs from the 60’s to pop songs of today to the table. But you put a fresh spin on all of them. I’m so excited to see everyone’s reactions when they hear and see you take the stage!
