Singer Songwriter Jake Tankersley From NBC's The Voice Season 26

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

Jake has been raising kids alongside his wife, Ashleigh, since he was 19. He met Ashleigh when he was just 18, and it was love at first sight after a mutual friend introduced them. Within a year, they were married and a month after the wedding, they learned they were expecting a baby boy. By the time Jake was 24, he was already a father of four. Working full-time as a worship leader to support his family, it's a miracle Jake found time to work on his craft. Music has been a significant part of his life since childhood. Jake's dad introduced him to Elvis when he was 6, and he soon fell in love with country music. Growing up, Jake often performed at talent shows with the guitar his dad gave him when he was 9. Currently, Jake gigs every weekend at bars and restaurants across Oklahoma. He schedules his performances in the evenings after his kids go to sleep, and, when possible, the whole family comes to watch him do what he loves.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?
