One new contestant auditioning for season 20 is Corey Ward. We&#8217;ve got five facts on <em>The Voice<\/em> hopeful for you below. So, keep reading to learn more about Corey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1) This isn&#8217;t Corey&#8217;s first time auditioning! He went on <em>The Voice<\/em> last season. He covered Kaleo\u2019s \u201cWay Down We Go&#8221; While he didn&#8217;t advance then, he <em>did<\/em> get compliments from two music superstars: Gwen Stefani and Kelly Clarkson. They loved his voice and tone. You can actually watch Corey&#8217;s season 19 audition below: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Corey Ward Sings Kaleo&#039;s &quot;Way Down We Go&quot; - The Voice Blind Auditions 2020\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_QD1v-YpnYA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>2) He&#8217;s been into all things music for 20 years. He joined his first band at age 14, and began performing the year before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3) His family gave him the push he needed to try out for <em>The Voice<\/em>. He especially wanted to do it for his mom, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2019. She got to watch his audition virtually last year. She did a video with Corey this past fall, saying that her cancer was &#8220;hopefully&#8221; in remission. She&#8217;s been supportive of his music endeavors since day 1!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4) In addition to singing, Corey also plays guitar. Check out an amazing cover of &#8220;Hallelujah&#8221; he did in honor of his mother: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tv\/CHrK2lln7oF\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\" style=\" background:#FFF;
