Career
The Voice (2017)
Kohanski auditioned in 2017 to compete in the 13th season of The Voice. In the blind auditions, broadcast on October 9, 2017, on NBC, she sang "The Chain" from Fleetwood Mac. Three of the four judges—Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Hudson, and Blake Shelton—turned their chairs with only Adam Levine refraining. She chose to be part of Team Miley. In the knockouts stage, broadcast on October 30, 2017, she was eliminated by Miley Cyrus, who opted to keep Ashland Craft instead. Both Blake Shelton and Jennifer Hudson wanted to steal the eliminated Kohanski, and she chose to continue as part of Team Blake. On December 19, 2017, Kohanski won the season title with "Wish I Didn't Love You". This marked the sixth victory for coach Blake Shelton which added to his record as the mentor with the most wins on the show. Kohanski won the $100,000 grand prize and a record deal with Universal Music Group. She said that she will continue her efforts to bring rock and roll and classic rock into pop culture.[2]
