Ashley Marina is one of the contestants hoping to make her singing dreams come true in Season 29 of The Voice. She made it through the Blind Auditions and will now compete in the Battle Rounds on March 23.
For her Blind Audition, Ashley sang a Keith Urban song and had all three coaches (Kelly Clarkson, Adam Levine, and John Legend) pushing their buttons almost immediately after she belted out the first note.
