After receiving valuable feedback from the coaches on "The Voice" Season 26, Iris committed herself to refining her unique sound through intense vocal training and innovative breathing exercises. Raised on Mozart by her mother and Latin music from her father's Mexican heritage, Iris found her voice before she could even speak. Despite growing up playing sports, she pursued her musical passion, often sneaking into her school's band room to teach herself piano. Iris returns to "The Voice" in Season 27 with a renewed sense of purpose, balancing her performances at local bars among her family responsibilities. She now sees her past experience not as rejection but as a redirection, guiding her to embrace and express her authentic artistic voice.
