A Converse University student made it through blind auditions on The Voice this week and chose to work with John Legend.

Emma Brooke, whose real name is Emma Brooke Alley, was chosen by Gwen Stefani and Legend after singing the Mamas and Papas hit “California Dream.’”

She is 19 and from Lyman, South Carolina. She’s trained in classical music but told the judges she wanted to branch out into contemporary music. She is a graduate of the Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities in Greenville.

Legend told her he wanted to work with her to help her “unlearn some of the structure that’s been put around” her.

On her Instagram page, she said “I’m so happy that everyone finally got to see what I’ve been working on over the summer! Thank you all so much for all of the love and support! I can’t wait to share this journey with you!”

The Voice tweeted to her: “You’ll fit right in on Team Legend.”

She started taking voice lessons when she was 6 years old.

Her first single “Feelin’ Good” was released in January.

She’s also a member of a blues, indie rock band called The Blue Executive.

“As a singer, musician and performer, I want my music and spirit to fill others’ hearts and souls with music that makes them feel good,” she said on her website. “I sing and perform to use the talent that God has blessed me with to touch and inspire everyone in the room and beyond.”

The Voice is on NBC Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. and next day on Peacock.
