Transgender

Sasha Allen is the sole transgender openly performing artist to have completed The Battle Rounds of The Voice Live Shows. That is the norm over the course of 21 seasons. Sasha Allen and Jim Newtown, Conn. duo is now in the Top 8 of the contest! Sasha admitted that he is transgender in their presentation to participate in The Blind Auditions, and he stated to Parade.com that the decision required thought and careful consideration. Sasha stated that it was a struggle to make a decision because he was required to display a fragile side of himself public in front of millions. The transition took place while the time was when he was in high school. The fan support and the positive impact this affected people even though the decision was difficult is what convinced Sasha that the transition was beneficial. The song was performed before The Voice even existed. It was an amazing surprise. The song was one we thought of and we came up with thoughts of how to set it up. "I was surprised by how good the fan base nailed it."
