He Sang In Front of His Hero and Got a Standing Ovation From Him | The Voice

Marley Sola is a Samoan and Māori singer from Christchurch who was literally named after Bob Marley, grew up watching his uncle play saxophone in New Zealand's Salmonella Dub, found his voice singing at his local church as a teenager, won the Pacific Music Award for Best Gospel Artist in 2021, and had already been through the X Factor NZ years earlier as part of the R&B vocal group Moorhouse before walking onto The Voice Australia Season 12 in 2023 at 27 years old, onto a stage where one of the coaches happened to be Guy Sebastian whose voice Marley had idolised his entire life, and sang Stevie Wonder's "Ribbon in the Sky" in a way that made every single person in that building stop what they were doing. 🔔 Subscribe for more full journey videos every week: www.youtube.com/@TheVoiceVault?sub_confirmation=1 WHAT IS A JOURNEY VIDEO?
