This 25-year-old from Reno, Nev., has already been performing music for 11 years and now fronts the Whitney Myer band, which includes her dad and uncle.
Of course, none of that is surprisingly, seeing as how Whitney grew up around music.
In her bio on the band’s website, Whitney says her mother played guitar, keyboard and wrote original music. Her dad played guitar for a band called the Mudsharks.
For “a large portion of my young life and I remember going to shows, dancing in mosh pits and thinking my dad was the biggest rock star on the planet (not much has changed in this regard),” Whitney writes.
As for Whitney, she began singing in church when she was 5, started writing music with her dad at age 14 and was soon performing that music in coffee houses in the Reno area.
Today, the band performs music Whitney describes as pop, soul and funk. And, just like her mother, Whitney plays guitar, the keyboards and writes music.
In 2009, the band released “Last Days,” music recorded when Whitney was 16. A year later, they released a nine-track album called “Dream Killer.” You can hear songs from that album on the band’s website and it’s available on iTunes.
More recently, a song called “Broken” hit iTunes on Feb. 5. It’s the lead single off the band’s upcoming EP.
As for her aspirations, Whitney says she hopes The Voice helps her band make a “viable living” playing music, because that isn’t really happening right now.
“This is what I’ve wanted since I was 5,” she says.
She got off to a good start, getting all four of The Voice judges to spin their chairs around during her rendition of Alicia Keys’ “No One.”
Whitney joined Team Adam. You can check out her Facebook page here. On Twitter, she is @Whitney_myer.
Now, for some Whitney Myer music, followed by her audition on The Voice.
