JULIAN KING

Age: 26Hometown: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Resident: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Julian grew up singing in choir, but it wasn't until his middle school production of "Beauty and the Beast" that he really fell in love with the energy of the stage. He went on to attend the well-known Philadelphia High School for Creative & Performing Arts with a focus on vocal performance, which he continued through college. After being in a rut for a few years, he jumped on the opportunity to move to China for a nine-month hotel singing tour. China was life-changing for Julian and now he's ready to show America his talents on "The Voice."
