Albany has a new star to cheer for. Local singer Lexi Stephens recently made a splash on the national stage, earning a coveted four-chair turn on NBC’s hit competition series The Voice — meaning all four celebrity coaches spun around to recruit her after hearing just the first moments of her blind audition performance.
A four-chair turn is one of the rarest and most exciting moments in the show’s format, signaling that every coach in the room wants the artist on their team. For Stephens, an Albany native, the achievement puts her among a select group of contestants who have managed to capture the unanimous attention of the show’s panel from the very first note.
The news quickly made waves back home in the Capital Region, where fans and community members rallied around the local talent making her mark on one of television’s most-watched music competitions. Albany has long been a city that takes pride in its homegrown artists, and Stephens’ moment in the spotlight is giving residents plenty of reason to tune in and root for one of their own.
With all four chairs turned and her pick of coaches to guide her through the competition, Stephens heads into the next rounds of The Voice with serious momentum — and the full-throated support of her Albany community behind her. Keep an eye on this rising local talent as the season unfolds on NBC.
