As final preparations for The International ARTS Talent
Showcase is underway, organisers have confirmed the talented Blaze Johnson as
the official opening act for the showcase, alongside usual suspect Nate Butler,
A&R of America’s Got Talent. The Columbus singer was uprooted from the
Bahamas at the age of eight when his parents moved to the United States to
provide a better life for their son. Blaze played football in high school and
was offered a scholarship, but he turned it down to pursue music. His mom told
him that he was blessed with a special gift and needed to share it with the
world. He auditioned for The Voice with The Fray’s "How to Save a Life,”
which prompted Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine to turn around. Blaze was
coached by Adam throughout the series before losing his knockout round match to
Deanna Johnson. Blaze was originally discovered at The ARTS Convention in
Orlando, Florida. He also starred in popular films When the Game Stands Tall
and Underdogs. His skills include singing, piano, guitar, painting, drawing,
football, track, and wrestling.
