Who is Samuel Harness?

Samuel is a 26-year-old from Fort Wayne. At a young age, he was adopted by the Harness family. Samuel's parents revealed in his introduction segment that they couldn't have any children on their own so they decided to adopt and give their love to children who needed them. The couple went on to adopt five other kids aside from Samuel.

Although Samuel grew up in a loving environment, he struggled with identity issues as he felt that his adoptive parents couldn't understand him. When he was 18, he was presented with an opportunity to meet his birth mother. That meeting changed his life as it gave him a sense of understanding. He also revealed that he turned to music as a form of therapy to cope with his identity struggles. He learned the ropes of music from his father, who is a member of bluegrass group called The Harness Family Band.

Today Samuel has a four-year-old son and claims that he learned what it is like to have unconditional love after becoming a father. He turned to his adoptive parents to thank them for all the love and affection they gave him. Samuel left his young son with his adoptive parents so that he could compete in the singing competition show.

Although Samuel is yet to perform on the main stage in the competition, fans are already rooting for him. A fan tweeted, "All I have to say about Samuel is Yaaaasssss!! #TheVoice #SamuelHarness." "Yesss Samuel. You sounded great!!!!!! @NBCTheVoice #TheVoice," wrote a fan. Another fan added, "Samuel Harness....didn't even get two lines in before I was blown away....very very good!!!! #TheVoice #NightTwo #BlindAuditions #TeamLegend."

A fan shared, "@johnlegend #VoicePremiere I think Samuel showed just a bit of what he is capable of performing. He’s a Diamond in the rough, but feel he will be a huge contender. Congratulations!!."
