The One Song The Voice Wouldn’t Let Jake Hoot Sing – Although Hoot was known for being a Tennessee country star on the show, many don’t realize that he grew up in the Dominican Republic. As a result, he grew up speaking fluent Spanish and loving island music. This was a side of Hoot that we didn’t get to see during his time on The Voice.
