If you’re watching The Voice this season, there’s no doubt you have your eyes on Mark Isaiah.
The 19-year-old singer, who is on Team Adam Levine, is certainly one of the frontrunners after impressing the coaches with his blind audition and his epic battle round.
We caught up with Mark to talk about why he tried out for the show, what he hopes to bring to his performances, and more. Check it:
The Voice airs TONIGHT, TK @ 8PM on NBC.
JJJ: What made you audition for The Voice?
Mark: Ever since I was a little kid, I always had the dream of becoming an artist. I actually [first] auditioned for The Voice when I was 17 years old, just because I always wanted the rush of performing in front of millions of people. But I didn’t make it past the second round before [the blind auditions]. I wasn’t ready so I went again. Now that I’m here, it’s been amazing experience.
JJJ: You sang Shawn Mendes‘ “Mercy” for your audition. It’s not an easy song to sing! What made you pick that one?
Mark: That song has been blowing up lately and a lot of people like it. It’s just a song that showcases different parts of the vocals, just the soft part and the strong part. I think that was a really good song choice for me, just to show what type of genre I sing as well pop, r&b, and soul.
JJJ: Did you always plan on choosing Adam as your coach?
Mark: I actually was going in with the mindset of either Alicia Keys or Adam. I didn’t get Alicia to turn, but Adam was a great choice. He really convinced me. I’m really looking forward to working with him and getting to know him. It’s going to be an awesome ride.
