His audition: Kameron Marlowe, 21 of Kannapolis, N.C., auditioned with Luke Combs’ “One Number Away.” Blake Shelton and Kelly Clarkson turned at last second. Despite Adam Levine coaching Kelly on how to land a country singer, Kameron opted to join Team Blake.
His background: A 9-to-5 desk job isn’t for him, Kameron says. So he works at a car dealership, selling car parts all day. What he’d prefer to do is make a living playing music. He formed a rock band in high school, but admits ‘we were atrocious.” Now he’s focused on country music and, pre-audition, said working with Blake Shelton would be a dream come true.

On picking Team Blake: It was edited out, but Kameron said Blake “told me I sounded like some country artists that he respected,
which I really appreciated. I just knew going up there that if he turned his chair, there was no other option for me. Blake Shelton has been a hero of mine for years and year and years. Being able to work with him one on one was so special and magical to me.
