Walker Wilson (age 24) from Alcoa, Tennessee sang “Hurricane” during the blind auditions and was a one-chair turn thanks to Team Blake. Walker later won his battle of “Here Without You” against Kason Lester. In the knockouts, Walker performed “I Ain’t Living Long Like This,” but lost to Kylee Dayne.
“I’ve been dreading this knockout because you guys are so much alike … just kidding!” Blake told Walker and Kylee after their dual performances. The country coach then added, “Walker, it’s probably a little easier to define what it is that you do. And Kylee, she’s a singer/songwriter/artist.” Blake ultimately decided to base his decision on “what happens in the moment,” picking Kylee as the winner.
Walker’s final words on the big stage were to his coach, who is leaving “The Voice” at the end of this 23rd season. “Thank you, dude. I wouldn’t be here without you,” the aspiring country crooner told Blake. “To be able to do what I love, can’t nobody take that away from me, and that’s what I’m going home with.”
Here is Walker’s official NBC bio: “Before moving to Nashville, Walker was working as a CNC machinist. It didn’t pay much, but he liked the job because it allowed him to gig in the evenings and on weekends. Walker decided to move to Nashville and pursue music in 2021 and now works as a bouncer at a downtown bar. After being hired, he quickly realized he could use this job to network with other musicians. The best part of the job has been getting to know the house band. They’ve asked Walker to sing with them a couple of times when he’s not working, giving him a unique foot in the door in a city known for being tough to find a break.”
