Dustin Dale Gaspard received a four chair turn on The Voice before chossing Niall Horan as his coach. His stirring rendition of Sam Cooke’s “Bring It On Home To Me” was a standout during the Blinds, and his passion for the Cajun culture was also spotlighted. Gaspard talked to Deepest Dream about his journey on The Voice and the sacrifices he has made to be a singular artist.
“It’s my goal and my legacy to remain who I am and help identify this journey as a Cajun person in the world,” said Dustin Dale Gaspard who pointed out a shrine dedicated to his Cajun French grandparents in his room. “They didn’t speak English until they were five, six years old. It’s so important to realize your culture and your story and the story of the Cajun people. For me it’s not only a story of inspiration, but it’s legitimately who I am.”

With his four chair turn, Gaspard reflected on why he chose Niall Horan as his coach. “I knew that working with him, I would be able to share something special. We would have so much crossover on our just at our roots,” said Gaspard. “And to hear that from him was such high praise. My, some of my biggest influences and songwriters that I really inspired to be like are all from his area.”
“I met three Irish gentlemen back in 2019 that actually set me on this entire journey at a songwriting festival,” added Gaspard. “We got along so great that they brought me to Ireland and I opened up for them on tour. In the audition I say. You know, having to go with my heart and go with my Irish brothers, and I felt connected to Nile in that way and knew that he’d be a great coach because I just know the Irish people are just incredible people.”
