The Voice

MONDAY AND TUESDAY 8/7c

V-Correspondent - Nakia

Nakia's blog

Based in Austin, Texas, 36-year-old Nakia draws strength from his extended family and inspiration from the memory of his father. Until he passed away in 2009, Nakia's dad encouraged him to follow his dreams. The bluesy singer knows he doesn't look like a typical pop performer, but that doesn't discourage him at all. He realizes that on The Voice, all that matters is how he sings.

After The Semi-Finals, Please Pray For My Family

Hey everybody! I am still feeling the amazing high that performing for y'all put me on tonight! It was truly a crazy one! Not only did Cee Lo save me to give me a shot at the final four of the show, but I went out there and sang for y'all and gave what I think was one of my best performances on The Voice so far.

Now, it's up to YOU to vote to keep me singing on The Voice. 1-855-864-2302

It's also a bittersweet night as well. When I got back to the hotel room and settled in, Just found out that while I was performing tonight, back home in Alabama, my Mother had emergency surgery to save her finger after a spider bit her AND my Grandmother fell and injured herself on her way to visit her in the hospital. No one told me prior to my performance because they didn’t want me to worry prior to singing.

I know I have been hounding y’all for votes, but please pray for my Mother and Grandmother for a speedy recovery. Nothing is more important to me right now than this. I don’t even know if either of them got to watch me perform tonight. :-( 

I haven’t been able to reach either of them by phone yet, but I know they would be pushing me to have y’all vote for me, but again, I am very concerned. I love y’all and appreciate your support!
