1. Jordan Rainer (4-chair turn) — TOP 12

Hometown: Atoka, OK

Jordan got off to a rocky start with her transition to adulthood. She found herself homeless, carless and jobless at 24. She eventually was thrown a bone from a friend who owned a donut shop, and once she earned enough money, she moved to Nashville and secured a publishing deal. It wasn’t until about five years ago that she discovered she could pursue a career in singing as well. Jordan has only had one octave range due to a condition she was born with that affected her vocal cords. However, in recent years she’s been able to get vocal therapy and coaching to correct the problem and can now sing in a five-octave range. Jordan has opened for the Eli Young Band, Hunter Hayes, Craig Morgan and Luke Combs. Jordan has also written for former “Voice” winner Sundance Head, who has performed her music at the Grand Ole Opry and sent her single to No. 1 in Texas.

She has sung the national anthem for the NBA’s Portland Trail Blazers, Alan Jackson, Kelsea Ballerini, Martina McBride, Brett Young, Dan + Shay, and more.

He’s down 55 pounds and says it’s not only improving his mental and physical health, but his singing too. To prepare for this season, Al has been trying to gig as much as possible, performing both solo and with his band, Ole Whiskey Revival.

It was Dylan’s mom, Julie, whose dream was for Dylan to pursue music, and she even took him to Nashville. Dylan didn’t have the confidence to pursue music full-time, so he found a job in real estate.

That night resulted in her mother spending weeks in the hospital, but making a full recovery. Sadly, Crystal’s mother passed away five years ago from ovarian cancer, but did have a chance to meet Crystal’s now 5-year-old daughter, Haven.

By the time Alison was in sixth grade, she’d already opened with her original music for the Steve Miller Band in Detroit. At 14, Alison won a contest where she was awarded studio time, a producer and a booking agent. With this prize, she made her first EP and even started hearing her songs on the radio. However, she didn’t think music full-time was an option after high school, so she went to the University of Michigan for biopsychology, cognition and neuroscience.

Once in Nashville, Caitlin taught herself all the tools to market herself and be a successful businesswoman in the music industry.
