The ULTIMATE COUNTRY VOICE has the Coaches SHOCKED on The Voice

Kenzie Wheeler has been singing since he was young, but he didn't take it seriously until high school, when he performed karaoke at a local restaurant. His family and friends were impressed and encouraging, so he started going every Friday and eventually won a few local contests. Kenzie moved up to playing gigs around town and even got to open for Charlie Daniels and Craig Campbell. Kenzie's dad encouraged him to grow a mullet, which has been a huge hit with his fans and is now his trademark. Which performance by Kenzie is your favorite? Let us know in the comments below 👇
