Jazmine Sullivan is one of four artists that will appear as battle advisors during the upcoming season of NBC’s hit singing competition show “The Voice,” which is set to premiere on Monday, Sept. 19.
The first six episodes of each season of “The Voice” are dedicated to the audition process, where aspiring singers take the stage to test out their vocals on four rotating celebrity judges. The judges’ backs are turned away from them in order to ensure that the focus is on their voices and not their appearance.
Earlier this year, Sullivan released the deluxe version of her Grammy-winning album, Heaux Tales.
Sullivan chimed in, saying, “With my story, it’s just about perseverance. Just keep going, keep going. You never know when that moment is going to happen for you, but you gotta be true to yourself. You gotta keep doing your thing and know who you are, not change that. And then eventually, like you said, people will start to come to you.”
Legend chose Sullivan because he believes her story can inspire performers and get them excited to compete in the show.
“With my story, it’s just about perseverance,” Sullivan told E! News. “Just keep going, keep going. You never know when that moment is going to happen for you, but you got to be true to yourself. You got to keep doing your thing and know who you are, not change that. And then eventually, like you (Legend) said, people will start to come to you.”
