Former Child Star Billy Gilman Tries His Luck on ‘The Voice’

After taking a hiatus from the music scene, former child star Billy Gilman has come back to audition for Season 11 of The Voice.

Gilman made it big with the release of his single, “One Voice,” back in 2000 when he was just 11 years old. The song accomplished huge feats for the country singer including being the youngest singer to ever get a song on the Top 40 chart and snagging a couple Grammy nominations back in the day.

Returning to the stage in order to try out for the hit reality vocal competition show, Gilman announced to his fans on Twitter that he did indeed audition. While his status on the show is unknown due to the audition not being aired just yet, he still wanted to let his fans in on the next step in his career.
