Season 10 winner and Broadway veteran Alisan Porter is set to perform her new single "Deep Water" on the Tuesday, May 2 (8-9 p.m.) live telecast of NBC's three-time Emmy Award-winning series THE VOICE. The STAKES are high as the Top 11 artists face elimination with only 10 advancing in the competition. Porter won America's heart and top vote as a member of Team Christina during season 10 of "The Voice." Her victory made history with Christina Aguilera becoming the first female coach to have a champion on the show after 10 seasons.
The Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter appropriately refers to herself as "art-centered," and she personifies that statement within her music. It's no surprise Porter could sing with perfect pitch at 9 months old, as her mother often proudly shares. Born to a Broadway singer mom and rocker dad, she went from wowing America on "Star Search" at 5 to starring in the 1991 John Hughes film "Curly Sue." Obsessed with music, she kept a picture of Janis Joplin above her bed between cranking everything from Joni Mitchell and Carole King, to Nirvana and Pearl Jam throughout her formative years. Post-high school, Porter logged time on Broadway, starring in the first production of "Footloose" and revival of "A Chorus Line" - keeping up a family tradition started by mom. Heading west, she fronted The Canyons and released two solo albums, namely 2009's "Alisan Porter" and "Who We Are" in 2014. During a 2016 respite from music, a friend secretly submitted her to "The Voice."Videos
