Not everyone can say they’ve had a chance to share the stage with an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award-winner, but one guest on Live In The D can. She’s a local singer who had a chance to perform with the one and only John legend when he was in town last week. The two have a connection because she was on his team last season when she appeared on The Voice.

The road to stardom continues after Zania Alake's time on the singing show.

A Detroit singer is making a big splash on The Voice. Zania Alaké earned major praise from the coaches on The Voice after her amazing performance of “If I were your woman” by Gladys Knight and the Pips. Her coach, John Legend, picked her to move on to next week’s live shows. There she will be competing with the top 13 singers. Alaké took a moment from her preparation to reflect on her performance with Tati Amare and talk about how she is preparing for next week.
