Robert Hunter, a Wake County Sheriff’s Deputy and singer, will move forward to the battle rounds of the singing competition show ‘The Voice’ and perform tonight on NBC.
The Garner native has worked as a Sheriff’s Deputy in Wake County for six years while also pursuing his music career. Prior to auditioning for the show, he performed all over NC and in parts of South Carolina + Virginia.
After stunning coaches Kelsea Ballerini, a Grammy-nominated country singer, and Michael Bublé with his rendition of “‘Til You Can’t” by Kody Johnson, Hunter was faced with choosing between the two. To help make the decision, Hunter brought out his wife and three-year-old daughter, Mary Blake. Hunter asked his daughter who her favorite singer is, and Mary Blake, answered “Kelsea Ballerina”.
Follow Hunter’s experience and cheer on the Triangle’s own on Monday nights via NBC at 8 p.m. or stream the next day via Peacock.
