Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vordie. If you're not familiar with the NBC show
The Voice, this is where you've got the judges there.
In this instance, it's Reba McIntyre, Michael Bubley and Calvin
brotus aka Snoop Dogg. And they don't see the performer.
They just hear the voice and when they say, yeah,
(00:23):
I like this guy, they hit the buzzer and they're like, yep,
this guy needs to advance, he needs to go further
in the singing competition. So last year they were listening
to this guy from Omaha saying shining Star from Earth,
Wind and Fire and Gwen Stefani is one of the
(00:50):
other judges on there as well. During the blind auditions
on the Voice, that was the note hit by Omaha's
o Drion, who joins us here on news KFAB. Have
you recovered from hitting that note yet.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
It's Scott. I've hit it plenty more so, I definitely have.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Man, You know, do you have to have some sort
of like surgery like the vocal chords, know the undercarriage?
How you able to hit a note like that?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
You know?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
It's actually a funny story.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
It actually starts hear in Omaha because I was born
and raised here in Omaha. You know, when I was
younger at mort mcne Middle School, in the choirs, I actually,
you know, before my voice changed, I was a soprano
and I loved singing soprano because it was just, you know,
I felt, you know, like I was in the in
the sky. And so as my voice changed, you know,
(01:41):
it's very difficult for young man, especially as a vocalist,
when your voice deepens and you lose all of the
you have to relearn how to sing. But I wanted
to keep that part of my voice, and so I
kept working on it, kept practicing it, and allowed me
to actually build my range and keep it, you know,
keep that side of it. So yeah, that that's really
a pretty funny story.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Well a song like that one, Why did you choose
Shining Star by Earth Wind and Fire? That song came
out like a thousand years before you were born.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Well, one thing that's special about it is that I
tour with Earth Wind and Fire as an opening act,
and I've been touring with them for the past four
years for their Foster Care organization. I'm a former foster
youth survivor of the system. Actually here in Omaha, and
so I work with their or I work with their organization,
(02:29):
And before I had gotten on the Voice, that was
already what I was doing, and so it made a
world of sense for me to tribute them on the show.
Plus is just a song that's near and dear to
my heart because it's something I've listened to my entire life.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I love this song.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
How cool is Philip Bailey?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Oh he's incredible. I mean he's a mentor. He's a mentor.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
So he's also taught me how to hit some of those.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Hot note and he can still hit him.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Oh yes, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I saw him open up for Lionel Ritchie. Oh yes,
and we were floor by how good he still is.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
It's amazing.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yeah, And I'll be here with them July sixteenth as
well when they are out in La Vista at the
Astro Theater.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Oh very cool. Well, let's talk about your free community
show coming up later this month. It's on June twenty eighth.
That's where you're going to be out at Miller Park.
The Music at Miller Park up Florence area, like twenty
seventh in Reddick in northeast Omaha. That's a really cool thing.
You know, you can charge for what you do.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
You know that I absolutely do, and it's very rare
that you get a free opportunity to see it. So
that's why it's really important for people to come out
because it's going to be an amazing night. It's going
to be a great, great show. The last time I
was supposed to do it, it rained, and so I
didn't get to actually, you know, present my show to
the community. And now I get a second chance at
(03:50):
doing that.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
What is your show all about? Rian? Is it? Are
we doing karaoke songs? Got a band with you? And
all of it's fine as we just want to hear
you sing.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Absolutely, So I have a full band, you know, I
have a full band that I tour with, and they'll
they'll be there with me. We're going to be performing
some of my covers that I do. I put twist
on my own covers as you can see from the voice,
and then I have my own original music that I
also have released on platforms, and I'll be performing live
and I also we'll be having some special guests that
(04:19):
will be coming. I can't say who, but you know
it's gonna be.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
An amazing night. I would love to have you Scott.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I'll do the phil Collins part and you can be
Philip Bass. We'll do easy Love. Yeah, we do that.
Well if talking here with Drayon, you are from Omaha.
You said you went to Morton Magda Middle School, Yes,
and then high school where high school?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I'm a Northwest Husky.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
You are a Husky. And have you had a chance
to go back and talk to the students there, because
it seemed like you only just graduated a few years ago?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Right, Well, it's been it's this is actually our ten
year reunion.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Actually, yeah, my thirties coming up in a few weeks.
My man, it goes real fast.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
It's very very fast.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Actually, have had after the show, I was able to
come back to the to to Omaha, and I went
to Morton and I went to Northwest and I got
to speak to the students. It was it was just
a full circle moment to be not only back in
these buildings that I, you know, would create music in
and perform in and go to school, and but also
(05:20):
just to be back there and see the excitement of
the students, to see that you know that that I'm
an inspiration to them, and that what I did on
the voice you know, really inspired them to want to
do what they want to do as well.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Well, I want to talk about the process of just
getting on the Voice, because one thing you realize there's
all these different music competition shows and you listen to
some of these guys saying people that you know, nationwide,
you've never heard of, and you know, they wowed them
at their local community centers and all that, and then
they get a chance to do this show, and you think,
(05:51):
my goodness, there's a lot of talented people. I mean,
the vocal performances you see on these shows are amazing.
Just the process of getting allowed to be on the show,
it's gotta be really hard, Like what was that process?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Like?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
You know, that actually was my fifth time auditioning for
a a TV show like that. I did American Idol,
I also did America Got Talent, and I did The
Voice twice and the second time was when I actually
got on.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
And it's a process.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
There's a formula to it, and they're looking for specific,
you know, things each year and it just depends on timing.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
It's all about timing.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
And the great thing about it is in those you know,
five different times, you build relationships. It's a lot of
the same community, a lot of TV shows share casting
producers and things like that, and so they get familiar
with you, they get to know who you are, they
watch you on social media, and it really is about,
you know, just the right timing and why.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Why would they pass on you mean you as soon
as you started singing suddenly you know, all the judges there,
from boot Blade a McIntyre to Snoop to Gwen Stefani
are like bang. It is hitting that buzzer. And to
think that you all, like you had to beg for
the opportunity to shine like this, it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
You know it really, as you said, there's so much talent.
There's so much talent out there, and they cannot possibly
fit all of that talent into one show. You know,
there's people that they have to pass on, people that
you know, as I said, it's all about timing.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
They got to put some duds out there, because that's
why people like the train Wreck, You got to put
them out of there, like, nah, you're you're too good.
We need someone who's terrible.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Yeah, you know, it's television, it's entertainment, and I think,
you know, all together, they really put a great show together.
I absolutely love the process of the Voice and and
the way that they were very, very caring for the
artists and making sure that we shined, no pun intended,
(07:45):
at our best. Actually, I was out there a full
month before the blind auditions, so we're out there preparing
with the band, preparing, you know, photos, marketing, all these
different things, just to get us prepared for that one audition.
Because it's a very nerve wracking experience.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I will say, you're there on the Voice on NBC
and the lights are about to come up, and the
music's about to start and you're about to sing. You
have no idea how this is going to go, no idea,
what are your thoughts?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
You know, I've done a lot of performing. I performed
all over the world. That was the most nerve wracking
experience audition I've ever had, because there's so much writing
on that one moment, and it's based off of opinion.
It is, it's purely based off of whether or whether
or not the judge is like you or not, and
so walking out there, you have no idea what you're
(08:36):
walking into and it's almost like you're having an out
of body experience. I'm up there, and that's why you're
you know, there for a month, preparing for so long,
so that it's almost like you're on autopilot. Because when
you get out there and the nerves get it like,
you have to have it down.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
And what you tell yourself just to shake the nerves
and be able to do what you do?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Yeah, I you know, I just I put on I
put on my performance hat. You know, I perform not
only you know too and things like that. I perform
weddings and private events every weekend. And so I'm used
to that regimen of performing. And I said, you know what,
it's just like you're performing, you know, for this or
for that.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
You know, just what what's more nerve wracking? Disappointing the
bride or disappointing Snoop Dogg.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
The bride? I woulfinite don't want to you do not
want to disappoint the bride on her day.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
The right answer. But once you started getting once you
started because you can hear those buzzers going off, right, yes,
So what what was that mindset shift when that was happening?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
You know?
Speaker 3 (09:32):
So you so you get up there, you're in this
space and you're like, okay, okay, okay, Okay, we're going
we're doing it okay, and then there's like, okay, why
they're not turning, And then you get a turn. It's like,
oh my gosh, they turned. It was the first one
to turn, Michael bu Blake. It's like, oh my gosh,
they're turning. But you still have to keep performing. The
excitement is like, so I I one thing I do
(09:53):
as a performer. I feed that energy into my performance
and I try to channel you know, I get zoned in.
I you have a whole regiment before I go out
and perform, and that I get just really zoned in
and I don't focus on anything else, and that really
helps me on stage. And so that's what I had
to do, how to just zone in, just keep singing
and do it exactly what you know. You can't tell,
but there were some moments that I kind of messed
(10:14):
up the words no because I was in my head like,
oh my gosh, I'm.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Let me tell you what I'd be thinking. All right,
So I'm singing my song. Michael Buble hits the buzzer.
He turns around and now I'm looking at him, He's
looking at me. I'm like, thanks, a lot, Michael Boublay,
you're the man, and then I'm immediately looking at the
other people, what's their problem? And then who was the
last one to turn Gwen Stefani. So we hate her,
(10:40):
no doubt, We hate, no doubt, Fanni pun intended.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
No, we love Gwyn. But you know, she has a
very different process as well. She likes to really listen.
She wants to make sure that when she is that
buzzer that she and she's a veteran you know, on
the show, so she takes her time a lot of times.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
All right, Well, I look forward to hearing you perform
live right here in our in our hometown. You're from
here as well. I'm a Ralston kid, you're a Northwest kid. Yes,
we'll we'll get along though. Fine, it's June twenty eighth.
Lucy Chapman wants to tag into this. Sorry, Lucy, I just.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Have to ask one thing.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
When you were at Morton Magnet, Yes, was mister Kitchen there,
that's Lucy, mister Kitchen.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
Yes, which is incredible because he's you know, still teaching.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
You know, he's he's mister Kitchen. Is amazing. He's a
cool guy. I believe I took a picture.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I have a picture with him that day, because yeah,
he remembers me from all that time, back when I
used to perform during the school programs and things.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I love to see. This is this is an omaha conversation.
Where'd you go to school? When'd you graduate? You know
so and so, And by the time you get to that,
it's like, yeah, I know that guy, even if you
graduated a million years of Jillian is very very ill.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
You had something to say there, go ahead and say it.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
All the songs that you sang. Lucy heard them when
she was in high school. So that's how old she is.

my goodness, there's a lot of talented people. I mean,
the vocal performances you see on these shows are amazing.
Just the process of getting allowed to be on the show,
it's gotta be really hard, Like what was that process?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Like?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
You know, that actually was my fifth time auditioning for
a a TV show like that. I did American Idol,
I also did America Got Talent, and I did The
Voice twice and the second time was when I actually
got on.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
And it's a process.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
There's a formula to it, and they're looking for specific,

Speaker 2 (06:24):
It's all about timing.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
And the great thing about it is in those you know,

You know it really, as you said, there's so much talent.
There's so much talent out there, and they cannot possibly

there's people that they have to pass on, people that
you know, as I said, it's all about timing.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
They got to put some duds out there, because that's
why people like the train Wreck, You got to put
them out of there, like, nah, you're you're too good.
We need someone who's terrible.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Yeah, you know, it's television, it's entertainment, and I think,
you know, all together, they really put a great show together.
I absolutely love the process of the Voice and and
the way that they were very, very caring for the
artists and making sure that we shined, no pun intended,
(07:45):
at our best. Actually, I was out there a full
month before the blind auditions, so we're out there preparing
with the band, preparing, you know, photos, marketing, all these
different things, just to get us prepared for that one audition.
Because it's a very nerve wracking experience.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I will say, you're there on the Voice on NBC
and the lights are about to come up, and the
music's about to start and you're about to sing. You
have no idea how this is going to go, no idea,
what are your thoughts?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
You know, I've done a lot of performing. I performed
all over the world. That was the most nerve wracking
experience audition I've ever had, because there's so much writing
on that one moment, and it's based off of opinion.
It is, it's purely based off of whether or whether
or not the judge is like you or not, and
so walking out there, you have no idea what you're
(08:36):
walking into and it's almost like you're having an out
of body experience. I'm up there, and that's why you're
you know, there for a month, preparing for so long,
so that it's almost like you're on autopilot. Because when
you get out there and the nerves get it like,
you have to have it down.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
And what you tell yourself just to shake the nerves
and be able to do what you do?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Yeah, I you know, I just I put on I
put on my performance hat. You know, I perform not
only you know too and things like that. I perform
weddings and private events every weekend. And so I'm used
to that regimen of performing. And I said, you know what,
it's just like you're performing, you know, for this or
for that.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
You know, just what what's more nerve wracking? Disappointing the
bride or disappointing Snoop Dogg.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
The bride? I woulfinite don't want to you do not
want to disappoint the bride on her day.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
The right answer. But once you started getting once you
started because you can hear those buzzers going off, right, yes,
So what what was that mindset shift when that was happening?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
You know?
Speaker 3 (09:32):
So you so you get up there, you're in this
space and you're like, okay, okay, okay, Okay, we're going
we're doing it okay, and then there's like, okay, why
they're not turning, And then you get a turn. It's like,
oh my gosh, they turned. It was the first one
to turn, Michael bu Blake. It's like, oh my gosh,
they're turning. But you still have to keep performing. The
excitement is like, so I I one thing I do
(09:53):
as a performer. I feed that energy into my performance
and I try to channel you know, I get zoned in.
I you have a whole regiment before I go out
and perform, and that I get just really zoned in
and I don't focus on anything else, and that really
helps me on stage. And so that's what I had
to do, how to just zone in, just keep singing
and do it exactly what you know. You can't tell,
but there were some moments that I kind of messed
(10:14):
up the words no because I was in my head like,
oh my gosh, I'm.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Let me tell you what I'd be thinking. All right,
So I'm singing my song. Michael Buble hits the buzzer.
He turns around and now I'm looking at him, He's
looking at me. I'm like, thanks, a lot, Michael Boublay,
you're the man, and then I'm immediately looking at the
other people, what's their problem? And then who was the
last one to turn Gwen Stefani. So we hate her,
(10:40):
no doubt, We hate, no doubt, Fanni pun intended.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
No, we love Gwyn. But you know, she has a
very different process as well. She likes to really listen.
She wants to make sure that when she is that
buzzer that she and she's a veteran you know, on
the show, so she takes her time a lot of times.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
All right, Well, I look forward to hearing you perform
live right here in our in our hometown. You're from
here as well. I'm a Ralston kid, you're a Northwest kid. Yes,
we'll we'll get along though. Fine, it's June twenty eighth.

Speaker 1 (11:14):

Speaker 2 (11:33):
You know, he's he's mister Kitchen. Is amazing. He's a
cool guy. I believe I took a picture.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I have a picture with him that day, because yeah,
he remembers me from all that time, back when I
used to perform during the school programs and things.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I love to see. This is this is an omaha conversation.
Where'd you go to school? When'd you graduate? You know
so and so, And by the time you get to that,
it's like, yeah, I know that guy, even if you
graduated a million years of Jillian is very very ill.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
You had something to say there, go ahead and say it.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
All the songs that you sang. Lucy heard them when
she was in high school. So that's how old she is.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Well, that's probably.
