SN11|Ep563 - Part I - Gina Miles + Kala Banham | NBC’s The Voice SN23

PART I My two very special guests today are NBC's The Voice SN 23 - Gina Miles and Kala Banham! First up: GINA MILES Team Niall Age: 18 Hometown: Paxton, IL Resident: Sacramento, CA It was impossible for Gina not to be involved in music growing up with a single dad who DJ’d every weekend. When she turned 14, she asked him if she could be more involved in his gigs and would help him set up his equipment. Gina always felt that she wanted to be somewhere bigger than her small Illinois town and performing became a way for her to stand out. Throughout high school, she realized she wanted to pursue music more seriously. With her father and stepmother’s support, she decided to move in with her aunt in Sacramento. The transition to a big city was very intimidating at first, but she now feels more comfortable. Next, KALA BANHAM Team Niall Follow Kala on Twitter - @kalabanham In IG + Tik Tok - @kalabanham Age: 24 Hometown: Kissimmee, FL Resident: Windermere, FL As Kala is a first-generation American. Kala wouldn’t be where she is today without her Australian roots and Filipino culture. At big family gatherings, Kala’s Lola would ask her to sing for everyone, rewarding her granddaughter with $5 following each performance. That upbringing eventually led Kala to pursue music wherever she could - singing in her high school jazz band, leading worship in church and joining a competitive collegiate a cappella group. Since graduating from university, Kala has been working as a public relations account executive and supports media relations for tech companies in the music industry. The busy nature of her career has put performing on the back burner, but now Kala is looking for the opportunity to break into the music industry.
