Texas powerhouse singer Kim Cruse talks about being apart of Team Legend on 'The Voice'

A Houston-area native got a special opportunity on Thursday when the Astros selected her to sing the national anthem at Game 2 of the American League Division Series.

HOUSTON – Houston native Desz continues to shine brightly on season 19 of “The Voice,” advancing through the competition after last night’s battle rounds. “I just feel super excited to be advancing to the next round,” Desz told Houston life on Wednesday. This time though, the pressure to choose the right song was lessened. While her career has taken her far beyond Houston, Desz hasn’t forgotten her roots.

HOUSTON – This season of The Voice features not just one but two Houstonians, and the latest superstar got all four judges to turn in her blind audition while singing Un-Break My Heart by Toni Braxton. Desz’s mom suffered an aneurysm just months later and she performed for the first time during her funeral. The 30-year-old musician went on to perform all throughout college at Prairie View A&M University with the university’s choir, the Houston Ebony Opera and the Houston Symphony. She eventually made her way to Los Angeles, where she became a part of Kanye West’s Sunday Service Choir.
