Magnus has been taking music seriously ever since he won his high school’s talent show singing “All of Me” by John Legend. Two years ago, Magnus heard previous Pharrell Williams, a previous coach on “The Voice,” was looking to put together a gospel choir and holding auditions. Magnus went to an audition with 250 other people and waited all day for his chance to sing. Eventually, he got to sing in front of Pharrell himself and was one of 50 people selected for the choir, Voices of Fire, which he still sings with to this day. Through the choir, he has sung with Pharrell on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” Now, he wants to see if he can make it as a solo artist.
