'The Voice' season 15 winner Chevel Shepherd dishes on being coached by Kelly Clarkson and reveals the secret to her success

Shepherd talks to MEAWW and shares some good advice for young contestants in the competition, as well as a secret perk to winning the show
PUBLISHED DEC 21, 2018

Season 15 of 'The Voice' has come to a close and has finally crowned its winner, 16-year-old Chevel Shepherd of Farmington, New Mexico. This not only marks the second youngest contestant to ever win 'The Voice' but the second consecutive win for coach Kelly Clarkson. Having only been a coach on the show for two seasons, Clarkson is now responsible for two consecutive wins with the youngest winner in 'The Voice' history Brynn Cartelli and now with Chevel Shepherd. Cartelli came back to 'The Voice' this season to debut her new single and during that time, Shepherd got some good advice from her predecessor.

"I asked Brynn how she balanced being so young and winning the show and she just told me to go home and be normal for a little while. To take as much time as I need at home, to hang out with my friends and do normal teenage things before I really start my career."
