The Voice Season 18 Winner Todd Tilghman on How Far He Hopes to Go and Working With Blake Shelton – At 42 years old, Todd Tilghman, The Voice‘s Season 18 winner, is the oldest person to ever win The Voice, and his 2020 victory demonstrates that shows like these accomplish what they set out to do: Set people on the road to seeing dreams they couldn’t even imagine come true. “I never really considered a career in music,” Tilghman, who was on Team Blake Shelton, exclusively tells Parade.com. “I’ve always loved to sing, but I don’t know that I ever thought that people would want to hear it, or that I had what it took to really get out there and make something of it. I don’t have any complaints about the life I made for myself, but as far as music goes, I didn’t feel like I had the goods, and so I didn’t really go for it.” – Parade.com

Colton Dixon on Life After ‘American Idol’ and New Beginnings on Self-Titled EP – About to head into another writing session, Colton Dixon couldn’t stop thinking about a track he laid down a few weeks earlier. As he sat in his rental car, unsure whether the song was any good, and why he was even making another album, busbee, the late co-writer and producer of the aforementioned track, sent him a text saying it was ready for a listen. “Miracles” was ready. It’s one of the final songs the two co-wrote together before busbee’s passing in 2019 at the age of 43 following a battle with brain cancer—busbee (P!nk, Kelly Clarkson, Keith Urban) first worked with Dixon back in 2012 on his first No. 1 single “You Are”—and upon first listen, Dixon fell in love. “Right there in the car, I listened to it for the first time and just went, ‘oh my gosh, this might be the first single,’” Dixon tells American Songwriter. “I don’t know what was clouding my judgment that day, and it obviously has a deep place in our hearts because of busbee.” – Read more at AmericanSongWriter
