CHRIS SEBASTIAN: ‘The show’s not rigged!’
When Guy’s younger brother Chris Sebastian first appeared on The Voice in 2012, he was infuriated by producers, who played his brother’s music after his audition. “It was a real slap in the face… very rude,” says Chris, who wanted to break out of Guy’s shadow.
It sheds light on why he had to be convinced to come back.
“I thought about [auditioning] last year, but I had no idea if people would love or hate the “all stars” [format] so I chickened out,” he quips, admitting he’s glad he’s here in 2020.
Chrischris, 3131, says despite his brother being his idol, he’d never pick him for his coach. “I had him ruled out from the beginning,” says the father-of-one. “I’d hate people to think I wasn’t there for my own abilities or it was rigged. I didn’t want anyone to say I was getting special treatment.”
Even auditioning in front of his brother left him feeling sick. “There isn’t anyone’s opinion I value more, so that was the most nervous I’ve been in my entire life!”
As he takes to the stage this week, Chris says he’s doing it for his wife Natasha and two-month-old baby Ava. “I haven’t done all I want to do in music yet but mostly I want to give
Tash and Ava everything
I can, so this is for them!”
