As the live rounds continue, Lyme singer Braiden Sunshine will once again need your help to shine further in the ninth season of the singing competition for a chance to become "The Voice."
Braiden, a sophomore at Lyme-Old Lyme High School, sang for Team Gwen in Monday night's live performance. He is one of 11 singers left in the competition. America's votes will determine if he moves forward.
Host Carson Daly said in his introduction on the show Monday that this week's theme was family in light of the approaching Thanksgiving holiday, so the contestants got to spend the week with family as they prepared for this stage in the competition. Sunshine's father paid him a visit in his voice sessions with vocal coach Gwen Stefani, of No Doubt.
Last week, Sunshine sang a rendition of "Renegades" by X Ambassadors.
Sunshine made it through the voice battle and knockout rounds on Team Gwen to advance to the live shows. Sunshine is only 15 years old, one of the youngest contestants on the show, and that has stood to impress the judges throughout the season.
In addition to gaining vocal experience on the show, "The Voice" team has also been developing new looks for the teenager with the baby face. Lately, the show stylists have been slicking down his naturally curly hair and straightening it and he's been performing without his glasses.
Braiden has been singing since he was 5 years old and performing since he was 9. He's already been in bands. He says he wouldn’t be on "The Voice" if it wasn’t for his mom, Elizabeth Sunshine. She was the one who pushed him to audition in New Jersey.
