Rachele Nguyen was a contestant on season 2023 of The Voice. As Rachele's voice highlighted unbelievable notes, she received a chair turn from Reba McEntire. Rachele's parents first discovered she could sing when she was 2, when they realized she was singing along to the Vietnamese music her dad would play in the car. At 9, Rachele had the opportunity to participate in a Vietnamese singing competition show and became known in the community. The show sparked her interest in performing and she's been singing for people ever since. As much as Rachele loves singing, she also loves playing piano. As a first-generation Vietnamese American, Rachele keeps her culture alive by learning to speak, read, write and sing in Vietnamese with help of her grandma. She represents her Vietnamese culture on the Voice and has inspired other young Vietnamese artists.
