The interview’s most touching moment is when he discusses the advice of a coach, Michael Bublé. He reminisced about how Bublé advised him to “be his superhero” and to accept both his strengths and weaknesses. Sofronio recounts the importance of this advice, given to him as the Voluntario Award winner, which made him a contender and helped him honestly believe in himself, which in turn made his win in the title all the sweeter.
One Performance that stood out on his fierce journey on The Voice was when he crooned Crying by Roy Orbison during the Playoffs.
