Spoilers for The Voice season 27, episode 2.

The latest season of The Voice is back, and Berklee is already representing. During this weeks blind auditions, Bryson Battle BFA '25 took to the stage with his rendition of Donny Hathaways A Song for You, and the coaches were out of their seats.

Coaches John Legend and Michael Bubl were the first to turn their chairs a few bars into the song, followed by new coach Kelsea Ballerini and Adam Levine, who is back for the first time since 2019. After Battle finished, all four gave him a standing ovation.

Watch Bryson Battles blind audition performance of A Song for You:

Ballerini was the first to comment, saying she felt moved and that he sang from his soul. Bubl added, You might have the greatest voice Ive ever heard. He said that the Donny Hathaway classic is one he often sings during his concerts, and that Battles version was better. I would love to just lip sync to you at the end of my shows, Bubl told a stunned Battle.

Levine pitched his expertise as a veteran of the show, saying that It is a bit of a harder path [to winning] when you are as extraordinary as you are. He emphasized how important it is to surprise people with your song choices.

Ive coached people who have sung that song before, Legend said, but you made it feel fresh and new and exciting. Were blessed to have you on the show-this is why The Voice exists.

Battle ended up choosing Team Legend.

Your Next Stage

Boston Conservatory at Berklee is reimagining conservatory education for today's performing artists. Learn more. The Boston Conservatory senior has fans amongst the faculty here as well. From our first coaching where Bryson sang Elphaba's No Good Deed from Wicked (in her key!) to our rep lesson [this week], I've been deeply impressed with Bryon's talent and artistic curiosity, said David Pepin, professor of theater.

Professor Laura Duncan added that he blew everyone SIDEWAYS in his showcase final in December.

The things this man can do are beautiful, straight from the heart, instinctive, and virtuosic, said Dan Calloway, assistant professor of voice. I stand back and listen, and I know I could never do what he does.

As a member of the Conservatory Cabaret, Battle performs at assisted living facilities in the area. Bryson's talent, generosity, and passion for storytelling through music create truly meaningful experiences. Beyond his remarkable vocal ability, Bryson has a gift for connection, said Bridgette Hayes, assistant chair of the Theater Division.

His performances are more than just entertainment-they are moments of shared joy, nostalgia, and celebration that brighten the days of those he sings for. His presence and dedication embody the true spirit of community engagement, demonstrating how the arts can uplift and inspire across generations.
