"I grew up being bullied by country guys. When you're bullied or made to feel othered or whatever, you [put] walls up to protect yourself. And when I came to The Voice, [I] immediately started becoming friends with all these people who sing country or from like small towns. The love I felt quickly kind of took my walls down."
"I had this ego death moment where some of them got eliminated and I cried, I was like, 'Thank you for making me feel like a brother, like a normal this person'. They were like, 'What do you mean?' [And I said]: 'You don't get it and you never will. But that's OK and beautiful'."
"I think the show exists, in a way, to try [to] make everybody visible and get to share who they are, and embraces that. The coaches couldn't be more amazing about that too."
"I have felt so accepted, it's been beautiful. I grew up singing in church, then I went into the theatre. I found my community in that and decided after high school, I really wanted to do this."
