Berritt Haynes, a 19 year old with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, was chosen for Team Blake Shelton last night on the MGM Television/NBC show THE VOICE. After Berritt’s mother submitted a tape, Berritt was chosen to audition on stage in front of the coaches.
Berritt had hoped to attend a taping of the show last season through Make-A -Wish Foundation which grants wishes to kids with serious health issues. However, due to COVID, he was not able to make that happen. Instead, this year his mother helped make his dream come true by making it possible for him to actually perform.
Berritt was diagnosed with HCM when he was 8 and received an implantable defibrillator when he was 14. Clearly, Berritt’s HCM has not interfered with his performing talents. Watch him performing on The Voice here.
Good luck Berritt. All of the HCM world will be rooting for you to advance to the next round!
