CRS 2012: Interview With HER And Kings County
The Voice: Interview With Gwen Sebastian
Recently I caught up with a dear friend of mine, Gwen Sebastian, who many might recognize if you tune-in to NBC’s The Voice. Gwen was selected to be on Blake Shelton’s team.
I’ve known Gwen for about 5 1/2 years. She was kind enough to participate in a couple of benefit shows that I put together in the past. From the beginning, I sensed something very special and endearing about her. Aside from being extremely talented, Gwen is an extremely sweet, down-to-earth person. What you see is what you get with Gwen and the reason I have always tried to support her music.
I was thrilled when I found out that she had been selected to compete on The Voice! I know she’ll go far if people can just get to know her better on the show. She’s got the pipes AND the personality!
According to Gwen, she decided to audition for the show at the urging of her cousin. She decided to take a chance and went out to the Los Angeles auditions the end of the past September since she missed the Nashville auditions. It was a 3 step process to get to the final round to audition for the judges and what you see on tv.
Right now the show is recorded, but it will be going live in April.
“This is the greatest moment of my life. It’s surreal.” says Gwen. What she appreciates the most is they didn’t want to change people, just let them all be who they are.
I asked Gwen what a normal day is like for her on The Voice. “Constantly on the go and bonding with other contestants.” It’s hectic for her, but she is loving every minute of it!
Watch for Gwen Sebastian on The Voice and vote for her, please! She’s one of the good ones and truly deserves this!
