Tessanne Chin has been crowned as the season-five champion of NBC’s Emmy Award-winning musical competition series “The Voice.”
A member of Adam Levine’s team, Chin comes from a musical family and previously sang backup for reggae legend Jimmy Cliff. She hopes her win on “The Voice” will allow her music to find a global reach.
The Jamaican native started her journey by singing an original song OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder wrote for the winner. Chin walks away with $100,000 as well as a recording contract with the Universal Music Group. She will also work with Tedder in developing new music.
“The Voice” is the season’s #1 unscripted series on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in every key demographic – adults, men and women 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54 – plus kids 2-11 and teens 12-17.
