Who is Sofronio Vasquez?
Vasquez grew up in the Philippines, and while his family didn't have much money when he was a child, he always had music. He credits his father with instilling in him a love of singing, and even calls his father his first Coach. But music wasn't Vasquez's first career pursuit. He studied to be a dentist and began practicing, but the tragic loss of her father inspired him to keep pursuing his dream of singing on the world's stages, and he began to pursue music again in tribute to his father. That pursuit led to several viral cover songs on social media, and eventually, to the stage of The Voice.

Vasquez emerged as just the second-ever Artist in Season 26's Blind Auditions, and with a cover of the Rose Royce song "I'm Goin' Down," earned a coveted 4-Chair Turn. He chose Michael Bublé as his Coach, and set about perfecting his craft for the Battles.

In the Battle rounds, Vasquez faced fellow Team Bublé singer Aliyah Khaylyn, duetting on Jennifer Rush's "The Power of Love," and won the Battle, keeping him on Team Bublé. (Khaylyn was stolen by Team Snoop.) In the Knockouts, Vasquez performed "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me," in a three-way competition with Kiara Vega and Jeremy Beloate, where he was once again selected by Bublé as the winner of the round.
In the Playoffs, Vasquez became one of two singers (along with Shye) from Team Bublé to advance with his cover of Roy Orbison's "Crying," then took on Elvis Presley's "If I Can Dream" and The Police's "Every Breath You Take" in the Live Shows, where the public's vote put him through to the Finals.
