Prior to making it on to The Voice, he worked at a Starbucks. The coffee mega-chain posted a blog about him on their official site and made it clear that even though the company sponsors the show, it has no impact on the judge’s decisions:
Although Starbucks is a sponsor of the show, the company has no influence on the competition. In fact, last year when Choice auditioned for a spot on “The Voice” none of the musical celebrities turned their chairs indicating they wanted to coach him. He did not advance past the audition.
