Jordan Smith: Winner of "The Voice" Same Competition He was Rejected From

The Voice winner Jordan Smith who repeatedly reign on the top of the iTunes single chart, says 

"I want to use my fame to glorify God."

He said I don't want to use God's name to promote my position, but I will use what position I have to promote Him and His name."

The singer who was rejected in 2014 during audition by the same competition (The Voice) which he is now the winner admitted:

"It was difficult because it was something that I wanted very badly," I had this dream in my heart to be part of the show and I thought that I was meant to do it. I really thought for a long time, for a few years, that I was meant to do this. When Auditioned and didn't make it, it was a little devastating." 

Upon deciding to audition for The Voice a second time, Smith made a prayerful decision about the attitude he will maintain throughout his music career.

Now Smith said he sees that he wasn't ready the first time, and that his year-long wait prepared him through what he described as small, everyday things: working two jobs, attending class, traveling with Lee singers and performing in Lee's alternative chapel band.

"With that whole entire year of preparation, I see that when I actually got to be on the show was the exact right time," "I'm a very firm believer that even the right thing at the wrong time can be the wrong thing for you." Smith said.

Throughout Smith success he says It's been important to stay grounded in his faith by reading the bible and keeping an active prayer life.

"It is important for me to keep that foundation so I have that to build everything else on," "It allows me not to get caught up in this whole whirlwind... It's easy to get caught up in that and become stressed and worried but... once I prepare myself in that way, I go into every situation feeling already prepared, already ready, knowing where my strength comes from knowing where my help comes from."

Smith said his relationship with Christ is an important bond he must intentionally maintain.
