Koryn Hawthorne

Koryn Hawthorne is on a mission to move people with her music. Her contagiously uplifting songs provide the jolt of energy and intensity the world has been waiting for.

The Louisiana-born beauty burst onto the scene at 17 as a contender on Season 8 of NBC’s The Voice. While she finished fourth in the competition, Koryn made quite an impact on judges and audiences with her powerful voice and emotive performances. Week after week, she captivated crowds and showcased poise and presence not usually seen in a teenager. Judges were floored by her maturity and noted her continuous growth throughout the competition. Her stirring rendition of “How Great Thou Art” even debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Gospel Songs chart. When she was eliminated one thing was clear; it wasn’t the last time the tenacious teen would move a crowd to tears by baring her soul on the mic and it certainly wasn’t the first.

While her impressive showing on The Voice featured fierce versions of pop hits, she always knew she would be going a route closer to her heart. Her laser-like focus on who she is and what she’s here for made choosing her path a no-brainer.“The purpose of my life is so clear to me,” she explains. “Choosing to give my gift back to God through music is what sets me apart from other artists. I can sing anything, but I choose to sing songs that makes people want to feel what I feel.”
