The Voice

Tankersley’s audition for the competition was a pivotal moment, one he initially hesitated to pursue until his wife encouraged him to take the leap. Once on stage, he said he felt completely at home.

Tankersley advanced to the Top 20 Playoffs, a milestone that allowed him to further define his artistic identity. Working with coach Snoop Dogg, he discovered the legendary artist’s deep appreciation for country music, which Tankersley described as “insane.”

The chemistry among the season’s coaches made the experience unforgettable, with Snoop’s humor and charisma bringing energy to every interaction.
