Bakersfield CA Versus Nashville Aaron Nichols From NBC's The Voice

from That Voice: A Decade With The Performers On NBC's The Voice · host Arroe Collins

Aaron Nichols grew up in Bakersfield where his hardworking single mom juggled long hospital shifts and cleaning jobs to support him and his brothers. Music sparked early when he would secretly play his older brother's electric guitar, and by age 13 was excelling in lessons that his mom made possible. Years later, he reconnected with his childhood crush Felisha - they're now happily married with a young son, Jack, who cheers him on. Aaron moved to San Diego in 2013, playing local wedding and party bands while singing harmonies in church. The passing of his favorite singer, Chris Cornell, inspired him to explore his own voice, eventually booking gigs as a lead singer. In 2022, Aaron and Felisha made the leap to Nashville, where he now plays four to five nights a week, leads worship at church and has gained the confidence to audition for "The Voice," ready to take his music to the next stage.If you could share a conversation with a seed before it becomes a tree would you speak of its future fruit or would it be all things right now?
