Native American pop singer Brooke Simpson rose to national attention in 2017 as a contestant on NBC's talent competition The Voice. A full-blooded member of the Haliwa-Saponi tribe, Simpson grew up in North Carolina where her parents were evangelists. Singing with her family in church since the age of seven, she dedicated her life to music, successfully auditioning for The Voice's 13th season in 2017. Under coach Miley Cyrus, Simpson rose all the way to finals, ending her run in third place. In January 2018, Republic Records issued a collection of studio recordings of her Voice performances. ~ Timothy Monger
