'The Voice' Alum Cassadee Pope Shares Why She's Leaving Country Music


The singer actually started out in a pop rock band before transitioning into the country music world.

The Voice season 3 winner shared in a new interview with Rolling Stone that she's planning to leave country music behind and focus on pop-punk and rock. It's not a huge surprise, given that Pope got her start as the lead vocalist of pop punk band Hey Monday back in 2008. While the singer recognizes that "every genre has problematic people in it," she's hoping that a departure from the country music world might make her feel a little more at home.
