Lum was born in Marietta, Ga., but it was in Key West, Fla., where he attended high school and was bitten by the performance bug. And it was in Key West that he developed his love for reggae music and honed his chops as a frontman playing in night clubs around the popular vacation town.
Early 2014, thanks to a few YouTube videos Lum posted years earlier of his solo performances, the scouts at NBC’s “The Voice” were impressed enough to call and invite him for an audition in New Orleans. Lum made it through the first two auditions in New Orleans and Los Angeles playing his guitar and singing a reggae-infused version of the 1980s rock song, “Jane Says”. Unfortunately, he didn’t have any chairs turn during the televised auditions.
We still believe he has a fantastic Voice!
