College Station, Texas: Texas A&M Student Aiden Ross Advances on NBC’s “The Voice”

Aiden Ross, a student at Texas A&M University, has successfully advanced to the next round on NBC’s “The Voice” following an impressive performance during the battle round. The battle round took place on October 20, where Ross faced off against teammate Ava Nat from Team Niall. The two contestants dazzled the audience with their rendition of “What a Time,” a song by Julia Michaels featuring Niall Horan. Following the performance, Coach Niall Horan declared Ross the winner, securing him a position in the upcoming knockouts.

Although Ross emerged victorious, Coach Horan also chose to save Ava Nat from elimination, blocking an attempt by Snoop Dogg to steal her for his team. This decision highlighted the supportive environment fostered by the show, where contestants often demonstrate camaraderie and respect for one another.

Aiden Ross had previously captured the attention of all four coaches during the blind auditions with his rendition of Adele’s “Love in the Dark.” His audition was particularly remarkable, as it earned him all four coaches’ turns within just 17 seconds, prompting judges Niall Horan, Reba McEntire, Snoop Dogg, and Michael Bublé to compete for his talents. Ultimately, Ross chose to join Team Niall, where he now continues to showcase his musical skills.

Ross’s passion for music has deep roots. He began writing songs at the age of 7 and has actively participated in school talent shows throughout his childhood. A significant influence in his musical journey has been his father, who taught him to play the guitar, fostering a quick proficiency and enhancing his love for performing. In high school, Ross balanced academics and athletics while also joining the a cappella group, which enabled him to perform at local events and refine his abilities further.

The supportive environment provided by his family has played a crucial role in Ross’s artistic development. As he films “The Voice,” he has established strong friendships with fellow contestants and has even used his spare time to continue writing music. His father has expressed immense pride in Aiden’s growth and positive outlook as he navigates this new chapter of his life.

During interviews, Aiden noted that being part of the contestant group felt akin to “summer camp,” emphasizing the close relationships formed among the participants. After spending a year in college, he recognized a profound passion for music, leading him to audition for “The Voice.”

The Texas A&M community has rallied around Ross, with alumni reaching out to offer their Congratulations and support. Recently, he released his first self-written single titled “Everything and More,” which showcases his growth as a musician and songwriter. His family and friends have also organized watch parties to celebrate Ross’s progress on the show.
