Sofronio Vasquez (4-CHAIR TURN)
Age: 31
Hometown: Mindanao, Philippines
Resident: Utica, NY

Sofronio grew up in the Philippines with virtually nothing, including no bed or indoor plumbing. Despite his situation, he describes his upbringing as happy, because music was always there to bring his family joy. Sofronio fondly remembers singing with his dad and considers him his coach. Sofronio never thought he was as musically inclined as his friends and family, so instead he embarked on a career in dentistry. While studying for his dental boards in the Philippines, he decided to give music a chance. Shortly after this decision, Sofronio was met with tragedy when his dad suddenly passed away. Now, with a new sense of motivation to make his late father proud, Sofronio has taken a leap of faith and moved to America to pursue music more seriously. Since moving, he’s competed at the famed Apollo Theater, his cover of “Nothing’s Going to Change My Love For You” has topped 1million views on TikTok and a performance of “That’s What Friends Are For” has surpassed 9.5 million views on Facebook. Sofronio is ready to take “The Voice” stage!

Kiara Vega (3-CHAIR TURN)
Age: 18
Hometown: Vega Baja, PR
Resident: Tampa, FL

Kiara is a budding musician powered by the support of her big, boisterous Puerto Rican family. Growing up with six siblings, including her identical twin sister, life was a symphony of chaos and love. Music is the family’s heartbeat, with rapping uncles, singing aunts and her maestro grandfather, Efrain, a singer, guitarist and songwriter. Though born in Boston, Kiara takes musical inspiration from her Puerto Rican heritage, often singing in both English and Spanish. Kiara recently graduated from cosmetology school and hopes to use her beauty skills to help uplift others. While music is her priority, she hopes to one day open a spa with her twin sister, Kayshla. Kiara will handle hair and nails while Kayshla oversees skincare. Kiara feels lucky to have such a close-knit family supporting her as she embarks on her music career journey.
