Racheal Lynn Woodward Davis (born May 4, 1994),[1] better known as RaeLynn, is an American singer and songwriter who was a contestant on The Voice in season two (2012). She was eliminated in the quarterfinals.

Life and career

Early life

RaeLynn was born and raised in Baytown, Texas,[1][2] and at age 15 wanted a career in music. She graduated high school early, in 2010.

2012: The Voice

RaeLynn auditioned for the second season of The Voice after being encouraged by a contestant on Team Adam who wrote songs with her.[3] Her audition song was "Hell on Heels" by Pistol Annies, Miranda Lambert's group. Both Adam Levine and Blake Shelton wanted her on their team, but she eventually chose Team Blake. She sang "Free Fallin'" against Adley Stump in the Battle Rounds and won. Her victory was, however, highly contested, and Blake publicly defended his choice in a Twitter war.[4] She then went on to the live shows to perform "Wake Up Call" by Maroon 5 and "She's Country" by Jason Aldean and the latter later became her best selling cover on the show.[5] For her last-chance performance, she sang "If I Die Young" by The Band Perry, but was chosen over Erin Willett and thus eliminated.

The single sold 27,000 copies in its debut week.[9]

She performs backing vocals for Blake Shelton's 2013 single, "Boys 'Round Here",[10] which debuted at No. 67 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, and peaked at No. 16.[11] The song is also featured on Shelton's album, Based on a True Story…. She was signed to Dr. Luke's publishing label Prescription Songs in April 2013.[12]

RaeLynn's debut single to country radio, "God Made Girls", was released on July 1, 2014.[13] On December 2, 2014, she performed her single on season seven of The Voice.
