Justin Aaron, Junction city, heads into the knockout round of "The Voice" on NBC beginning Monday. Aaron said they are three-way knockouts. "So you tune in at 7 p.m. and you will get to see me on the stage and if I get to go the next round." Live playoffs then follow the knockouts.
"I perform Gospel, Contemporary Christian and R & B music. " Aaron began in music with his mother who has been a singer. "So she would always take me with her when she would go to her singing engagements and I would see how everyone was just so mesmerized by her singing and how everyone was just responding to what she was doing. I remember sitting in the front pew one day saying I want to do that one day." Aaron also credits former teacher Mary Louise Stahl with helping cultivate his love of music.
Aaron knows performing on 'The Voice' could put him on a new platform in getting his name out there.
Aaron is currently a paraprofessional at Junction City High School. He is a 2006 graduate of JCHS.
