WHAT IT IS: 19-year-old vocal prodigy Avery Wilson has the talent, fire, and creativity to bring an arena to its feet and capture the hearts of fans around the world. When he was only 16, he appeared on Season 3 of NBC’s The Voice. His blind audition resulted in a four-chair turn, winning accolades from the superstar judges—Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton and CeeLo Green. That, along with the guidance, grooming and support from some of music’s heaviest hitters—Sean Garrett (dubbed “The Pen” by Jay Z) and industry icon Clive Davis— Wilson is set for stardom.
