Written by Ballzer on December 4, 2020
Appleton, WI’s John Holiday is still absolutely blowing our minds with his performances on NBC’s The Voice! Originally from Texas, he is a Countertenor who specializes in opera and jazz. John is on Team Legend on NBC’s The Voice and just this week made it into the Top 9 on the show! We’ve been lucky enough to speak with John a couple of times in his journey but HAD to catch up with him this week!
If you missed his performance Monday, you HAVE to see it and read his kind words:
America, I truly love you. Our differences unite us and make us great. Thank you for the love & support. Like many of you, I’ve worked hard for everything I have, and I’d love to earn your vote.

More about John: 35 year old John Holiday is from Rosenberg, TX and he lives in Appleton, WI. John grew up singing in church and learned to play piano with encouragement from his grandmother. John later joined the Fort Bend Boys Choir of Texas and they were invited to perform with the Houston Symphony. It was there that John experienced opera for the first time and remembers being inspired after seeing and hearing someone of color perform that style of music. He decided to pursue opera himself to break more barriers as a young gay black man. John now performs opera in four languages and works as a jazz singer. He currently lives in Wisconsin with his husband, Paul, where he is a voice teacher at the Conservatory of Music at Lawrence University.
