‘Masquerade’ Singer Kelsey Rey Garnered Over 1 Mill YouTube Hits Before ‘The Voice’

Kelsey Rey impressed the coaches with her voice and her looks when she performed Estelle's 'American Boy' on the series premiere of 'The Voice.' Perhaps, what's more impressive is that she had already received over 1 million hits on YouTube before her 'Voice' audition.

Rey, a 20-year-old singer from the small town of Sebastian, Fla., signed a record deal at age 11 as part of a girl group called Funn Club. The quartet toured the country performing songs for Radio Disney. "I learned so much about stage presence, and recording in the studio," writes Rey of her Funn Club days in a pre-audition blog post. "I love music so much, and I can't wait to show the world how passionate I am about this business."

Well, she has already shown the world a lot of herself in a seductive video for her song 'Masquerade.' The clip has garnered around 1.4 million views on YouTube, thanks in large part to a massive following in Europe.

Rey's rendition of 'American Boy' caught the attention of three of the 'Voice' coaches, but she ultimately chose to be on Cee Lo Green's team. "There I was, standing in front of my idols, and they believed in my voice!" writes Rey. "I never imagined an opportunity like this!"
