Gwen Sebastian After ‘The Voice’: ‘Everything That’s Been Going On Has Been Awesome’

Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to win a singing competition to walk away a winner. Just ask Team Blake’s Gwen Sebastian: though she left The Voice during battle rounds in Season 2, she’s been on a high ever since. “Everything that’s been going on has been awesome,” she told me, walking me through all the things that have happened for her since she left the show. “A few days later Blake called me to see if I wanted to come out and sing backup for him. Basically, he asked me back on his team in some ways. I’ve been singing with him since January, loving it and getting to know his band.”

She’s also been continuing her work as a solo artist, touring, appearing at the Grand Ole Opry, and promoting her new single, “Met Him in a Motel Room”, which dropped on May 8 – the same night as the season finale for The Voice – and isn’t what it sounds like. “It’s a song about hope and finding it in a time and a place that you’re not thinking you’re going to find it,” she explained.

Gwen has plenty of praise for Coach Blake, his wife Miranda Lambert, and everyone she’s gotten to tour with since leaving The Voice. “He’s such a great guy,” she said of her coach. “We’re like a family now. [Miranda] is awesome as well. They’ve been helping me out and I’m forever grateful to them.”
