One huge lesson Jared Shoemaker received from The Voice: Battle of Champions centers on how he utilizes his time in the recording studio.
”Artistically, I play live for hours and hours every night, but when you spend so much time focusing on one song, getting each and every, note each and every run, just as perfect as you can, that kinda made me rethink singing,” said Shoemaker. “It really helped me as far as getting in the studio. I don’t just wing it now. I really practice when I’m breathing. And I practice each and every note so that when I get to the studio, it’s not a big guessing game. It’s that’s kind pressure of being on The Voice taught me; it was to really focus on what you’re doing. And don’t take any note for granted. Every note needs to be calculated.”
Another highpoint for Shoemaker on The Voice: Battle of Champions was his battles performance with Drew Russell. “I think we did a great job,” said Shoemaker. “We put the hours in, and I knew it was gonna be good. But then after seeit in on TV, I’ve been telling everybody, that was probably the most proud musical moment I’ve had. All the stars aligned. It was just a really good performance.”
Shoemaker also talks about Marshull’s album Long Time Coming, which you can listen to below (give the track “Leviticus” a shot!):
