On Tuesday, local musician Royce Lovett's blind audition secured him a spot on the reality TV show "The Voice."

His performance of Wyclef Jean's "911" was shown during the two-part season premiere of Season 17 of the singing competition.

Lovett, 30, has been a popular fixture on the Tallahassee music scene, performing regularly at local music venues as well as at the July 4 Celebrate America at Tom Brown Park, Springtime Tallahassee, New Year's Eve at Kleman Plaza and most recently the Sundown Series in Cascades Park in mid September.

Lovett, who is the father of two and a Motown recording artist, will compete on "Team Gwen" — meaning Grammy Award-winning singer Gwen Stefani will serve as his coach throughout the season.

The auditions have the show's four coaches – Stefani, Kelly Clarkson, John Legend and Blake Shelton – listen to the contestants with their backs turned. If they like what they hear, they press a buzzer that turns their chair to face the singer. If more than one coach buzzes in, the contestant gets to choose their coach.

Stefani pushed her buzzer almost immediately, followed a few moments later by Shelton. Once she saw Shelton’s chair turn around, Stefani got up and started dancing to Lovett’s song.

When it came time for the judges to make their cases to Lovett, Stefani jumped right in, “Obviously I love you.”

Before she could go any further, Clarkson interjected, “She has not danced for anyone!”

“Your voice is so animated,” Stefani continued. “You can feel the undertone of the reggae, but then you’re bringing it to this modern place, this rock place. I love that. Let’s mix it up.”

Shelton began his pitch, but quickly bowed to the other judges and the audience, who all knew a good match when they heard one.

“Aw, screw it,” he said. “Just pick Gwen.”

And Lovett — who never stopped smiling — did just that.

His enthusiasm was apparent in his social media posts. He tweeted:

"Listen, @gwenstefani you’re exactly who I wanted!! We’re gonna rock this!! If I wasn’t singing on stage, I would have been out there dancing with you! @nbcthevoice"
