Beya, a standout on Team Gwen this season of The Voice, has won over audiences with a journey marked by self-discovery and creative expression.
Hailing from Hawaii and enriched by her Salvadoran roots, she draws on an upbringing filled with the melodies of her mother and great-grandmother’s ukulele. This early immersion in music set the stage for her to explore piano at age 10 and later, guitar at 16, each instrument deepening her connection to her craft. Her performances on the show reflect a powerful blend of technical skill and a deep-seated connection to her cultural heritage.
During her blind audition, Beya’s rendition of “Our Day Will Come” by Ruby & the Romantics mesmerized both viewers and coaches. While Michael Bublé missed the opportunity, Gwen Stefani immediately recognized Beya’s distinctive artistry and welcomed her onto her team. This pairing is particularly resonant, as Stefani’s varied musical journey mirrors Beya’s genre-blending approach. Stefani’s mentorship has provided invaluable guidance, helping Beya navigate this transformative phase in her career.
Beya’s musical style transcends traditional genre boundaries, seamlessly weaving together pop, world music, neo-soul, and other influences. Guided by her travels and a broad array of inspirations—from the storytelling of Jack Johnson to the soulful power of Amy Winehouse and Etta James—she continues to expand her creative horizons. With each performance, Beya not only showcases her immense talent but also proudly represents her community, crafting a sound that reflects both her roots and her bold vision for the future.
