Since the world runs on technology anymore, it’s easy for him to find work anywhere and to continue to do what he loves – outside of performing, that is. He can work in numerous fields, and he has an abundance of job security. He found time to do what he wanted, and he found time to learn to do it the right way. He has a degree in information technology networking and securities, and he puts it to good use. He spent seven years of his life in the Navy, but he also spent time in college. Paris went with Legend, much to Grande’s dismay. They argued, they fought, and then they remembered it’s really up to the singer to pick the judge. They tend to have similar tastes in artists, and they both loved this one immensely. When the judges turned their chairs around, it was a typical fight between John Legend and superstar Ariana Grande. We thank him for his sacrifice and for his service. He spent seven years of his life in the Navy serving this great country, putting his life on the line, and sacrificing time with his loved ones to protect and defend this great nation. This is a man the world should be thanking for his service. It’s not too far from Columbia, but even Columbia is not a big city like Jacksonville. His family, at some point, relocated to a place in South Carolina called Orangeburg, which is just a small little town without much going on. He was born in Jacksonville, Florida, which is a great place to grow up.

Now that he’s well on his way to becoming a star, we thought we’d get to know him better. We have no doubt he knows he’s good – because he is good – but we imagine it was all shocking to him nonetheless. We imagine he was even more shocked when he was chosen from the blind auditions and asked to move on in the competition. We also imagine that he was likely shocked when he realized he’d made it to the blind auditions. When he decided he’d audition for a chance to sing for the judges on “ The Voice,” we imagine that Paris Winningham thought he might have a chance.
