Ever since A Girl Named Tom stepped onto the stage on 'The Voice' Season 21, the brothers-sister trio have managed to consistently impress not just the coaches- Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, Ariana Grande, and John Legend, but also the fans. The band comprising of Bekah Liechty and her older brothers, Caleb and Joshua, managed to get a four-chair turn from the coaches after their blind auditions. That was just the sneak-peek of their journey on the hit NBC singing competition show.

From then on they breezed through the competition effortlessly, without finding themselves at the bottom even once. So, when they have crowned the winner of 'The Voice' Season 21 it came as no surprise. The siblings' trio also created history by becoming the first group to win on 'The Voice' and giving their coach Kelly Clarkson her fourth win in the competition.

Who is A Girl Named Tom?

A Girl Named Tom is a sibling band from Indiana. The band comprises Bekah Liechty and her older brothers, Caleb and Joshua. So, if you're wondering why their band is called A Girl Named Tom despite no Tom in their group well, there's a sweet story behind it. When Bekah was little, her older brothers used to reportedly call her Tom, and that's how the band got its name despite no Tom on the group!

The band was formed in the spring of 2019 and since then the trio has performed 67 shows across the country while touring in their mini-van! Caleb and Joshua graduated from Goshen College. According to the college newsletter, the brothers revealed that their little sister sang anywhere and everywhere when she was young. Caleb also added that it was their mother, Holly, who inspired them to form a band. "We’d always been told we should be the next Von Trapp singers, but none of us kids had ever taken the idea seriously until our own parents supported it,” he said.

A Girl Named Tom competed alongside their fellow Team Kelly member Hailey Mia, and other performers like Wendy Moten, Jershika Maple, and Paris Winningham, for the trophy. Wendy was voted as the runner-up, while their fellow team-member Hailey came in fourth. Since early on in the competition, A Girl Named Tom was pegged as the strong contender for winning the competition, but when they managed to top the iTunes list with four of their songs, it was pretty clear that the family band would be taking home the prize.
