This Modern Hitmaker Got His Start on The Voice! | The Voice

Jay Norton walked onto The Voice UK Season 1 in 2012 as an unknown singer-songwriter and performed Aloe Blacc's "I Need a Dollar" in a blind audition that won him a spot on will.i.am's team, before facing fellow Team will.i.am member Jaz Ellington in a Battle Round on Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" that nobody could stop talking about, all while carrying a secret that nobody in that building had any idea about — that years later, under his real name James Norton, he would go on to co-write Duke Dumont's global hit "Ocean Drive" and Jonas Blue and Paloma Faith's "Mistakes," two of the biggest songs of the decade. 🔔 Subscribe for more full journey videos every week: www.youtube.com/@TheVoiceVault?sub_confirmation=1 WHAT IS A JOURNEY VIDEO?
