Filipino-American Kay Sibal made waves in The Voice Blind Auditions in the US after three out of four coaches turned their chairs for the contestant.

The Los Angeles, California-based performer sang Laufey's "From The Start" in the 26th season of the American reality television series, airing on NBC.

Kay impressed the coaches with her vocal control as she made a beautiful version of the jazz song.

It was Gwen Stefani who first rotated her chair in the hopes of bringing Kay into her team.

The No Doubt vocalist couldn't help but praise Kay, citing her good energy on stage.

She said, "I feel like I could be such a good coach for you. I just know it and I'll tell you why. Because your heart just feels really open like you're just taking this all in. You're so positive. You could hear it in your performance. You have so much potential, like I know exactly what to do to help you."

Snoop Dog and Michael Buble then followed, placing their interest to work with the 24-year-old Fil-Am singer. Meanwhile, Reba McEntire didn't rotate her chair for Kay, saying she felt she didn't have the chance to get Kay into her team.

In the end, Kay chose Gwen to be her coach.

According to her profile in maestramusic.org, Kay is an actor, musician, and vocal director. She graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) with a degree in musical theater in 2022.

Originally from the Bay Area, Kay grew up in a children's choir where she received the majority of her musical training and inspiration.
