Dylan Carter's journey at The Voice
Carter was merely 20 years old when he auditioned for the 24th season of The Voice.
He made a striking debut on television, as his blind audition garnered a four-chair turn from judges Reba McEntire, Niall Horan, John Legend, and Gwen Stefani.
During the singing reality show, he performed the Whitney Houston classic I Look to You, which he later revealed was a tribute to his deceased mother.
Carter also mentioned that he had tried to sing the song at his mother's funeral but was too overwhelmed with emotion to complete it.
He chose McEntire to be his mentor. His journey on the singing competition concluded weeks later during the Battle Rounds, in an episode that aired on October 31, 2023.
Carter did not allow his elimination to hinder his music career, as he continued to perform in the Lowcountry region, including the aforementioned benefit events for The Local Voice.
