The 31-year-old Draper man is excited that he ended up on blakeshelton's team but he’s also excited that his story was told.
Utahn EJ Michels on "The Voice."EJ Michels is thrilled that he got to perform on NBC’s “The Voice.” He’s excited that two of the judges wanted him, and that he ended up on Blake Shelton’s team.
He was quick to point out that he “grew up in a very loving family” and “didn’t really have a crazy hard life,” he still had a “really hard time loving myself and finding myself” and living up to “expectations” about how he should “believe and think and behave and act.” Michel said that he was particularly pleased with the “great job” the show did with a short feature about him that aired just before his audition. Many of his family members, most of whom “are still in the church, kind of took it with open arms and positivity. It brought them to tears. And I really think it’s kind of bringing people together as opposed to dividing people.”Since his audition aired on March 13, a number of people reach out to him to say they’ve been through similar experiences.
And he sounded a bit like he was working for the Utah Office of Tourism when the judges started talking about Utah. “Mountains, lakes, all four seasons — it literally has all of it,” Michels said.
