The Voice Winner Gina Miles Singing National Anthem as Part of Kentucky Derby

The Voice Season 23 winner Gina Miles dazzled the crowd at Churchill Downs Friday with her rendition of the national anthem for the pre-Kentucky Derby Oaks race. The artist confirmed her arrival in Kentucky on her Instagram story Thursday, showing off a photo of an overflowing gift basket and writing: "Can't wait to sing tomorrow."

Miles was the first of two artists guided across The Voice's finish line by Coach Niall Horan (the second became Huntley a season later). Grammy Award nominee Grace Potter will handle national anthem duties for the main horse-racing event Saturday, May 3.

"Music is a place I have always felt at home," Miles states on her official website. "It was involved in all aspects of my life — from family, to school, to my free time. I never thought that all the time I spent writing songs would amount to anything. But soon I realized that the best part of singing is sharing it with people. I want to tell stories that remind you, you aren't ever alone. Music is something that brings people together, and I hope to do that with mine. We're on this journey together, one step at a time."
