Hi there!

Currently, we are counting down the things you didn't know about Rising Stars.
We're about to make a complete list of them.
If you want to see your favorite one, let us know in the comment section.
Chevel Shepherd is the first New Mexican to win the national singing competition.
Her pure country performances during the season won over the hearts of Americans.
Chevel was born and raised in Farmington New Mexico.
Born in La Plata, New Mexico, Shepherd was raised on country music and the outdoors and
loves doing crafts, feeding the animals, and fixing cars with her dad, according to NBC.
But her real passion?
Singing.
According to her website, her motto is ‘Singing isn’t just my dream, it is my reality’.
Chevel followed in her mother and sister’s footsteps and began singing when she was just
2-years-old.
She started to pick up every singing opportunity she could get, including a few radio gigs
when she was 8-years-old.
She even created her own mini CD with songs she’d recorded before she turned 10.
Chevel Shepherd first learned to yodel when she was about 11-years-old when her mom showed
her a video, according to Parade.
Prior to seeing the video, she told Parade that she had had no idea what yodeling was,
but she fell in love with it and kept on practicing.
The 16-year-old junior attends Farmington High School in New Mexico.
The Little White Church singer may have a New Mexico background, but is getting acquainted
with her new Los Angeles digs.
Shepherd loved watching The Voice since she was young and actually auditioned for season
13 in Las Vegas, according to Parade.
However, she didn’t get a Blind Audition because the teams were already full, so she
was pleasantly surprised when she got a second opportunity to try out.
She didn’t even have to go through the long lines of other hopeful singers, as the show
contacted her personally to come back and audition again.
She thinks they called her back because of her “unique style.”
Chevel’s audition song was by The Band Perry.
The rising country star performed If I die Young and wowed America with her soulful pipes.
This girl can SANG!
Who you ask?
None other than Mr. Blake Shelton.
They should totally do a double birthday, June 18th is cake day for this country duo!
At the tender age of two Chevel began to sing, learning Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood
and Fly Away by Tim McGraw as her first ballads.
Keeping it all in the family Chevel reveals that her mother and sister are also singers.
Rodeos were the perfect platform for this young singer to showcase her talents!
Carrie Underwood is one of Shepherd's favorite artists, so it's only natural that she wanted
to get her start where her idol did.
The invention of The Voice was just another amazing platform and chance to get her amazing
voice out there.
Cupid’s Got A Shotgun is Chevel’s fav Underwood song to belt out.
Shepherd’s December 10 performance of “Blue” was dedicated to her grandfather, who was
in the audience while she sang.
Her grandfather loves that she learned how to yodel, and she was proud to have him in
the audience while she performed.
The San Juan (San Yan) County Commission issued a proclamation earlier this month to honor
Shepherd, announcing a “Chevel Shepherd Day” was going to be established, according
to Farmington Daily Times .
The commission presented a plaque to her father, Robert Shepherd, and said a date will be set
to celebrate Chevel Shepherd Day after she has returned to San Juan County from Los Angeles.
Lastly, we would like to say - Chevel Shepherd is a great rising country star who got her
own style.
Being a teen star, she always keeps oneself stylish and fashionable.
We wish her all the luck for her songs as well as her career ahead.
