  Speaker 1: singing Ascension from Maxwell. Then he posted it on social media,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: landing over one hundred thousand views, and today it's over

• 2:00
  Speaker 1: The Voice to a stage where Maxwell was performing in
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: front of twenty thousand music fans and followers. The invitation
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: to share a conversation came to me on October nineteenth,

• 2:25
  Speaker 1: NBC's The Voice was none other than Jennifer Hudson. Here's
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: what I love about Lucas. After the show, he made
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: sure that he kept his music aspirations moving forward, performing
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: with his funk band, Tell yo, Mama, look that band up.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: And while he has been away from NBC's The Voice, Yes,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: he has received mail from Jennifer Hudson, who continues to
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: encourage him to keep pushing his music out there. His
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: greatest lesson is to never let something pass you by. Hey,
• 2:56

  Speaker 1: believe in your daily music or is it a constant
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: quest to keep pushing forward because you could do better

  Speaker 1: than what you did yesterday? Being part of the everyday
