TESSANNE Chin, the local songbird who captured season five of the American televised talent contest, The Voice, is set to make an appearance on the show tonight.
In December last year, Chin became the first non-American to win The Voice and set off a whirlwind of activity for the 28-year-old Jamaican singer.
Chin will be joined on tonight’s show by her runners-up Jacqui Lee and Will Champlin.
She took to Twitter and Instagram stating: “I can’t wait for THIS to happen!!!! This Tuesday 13th !!! Back on @nbcthevoice performing my debut single Everything Reminds Me Of You.”
Since her historic win, Chin has been making a name for herself with gigs in North America and the wider Caribbean. In March this year she performed on The Women of Soul show at the White House , thrilling an audience that included US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.
That show was aired on public broadcasting television in April. Chin shared the stage with Aretha Franklin, Patti Labelle, Melissa Etheridge, Jill Scott, and Janelle Monaé.
The Hideaway singer has also been in studio working on her album for Universal Music Group, which is part of her prize package from The Voice. Among those Chin is reported to be working with is the celebrated Diane Warren, who has written popular tracks for big-name stars, among them Celine Dion and Toni Braxton. — Richard Johnson
