Chance Pena Has Never Met John Legend Despite Writing 1 of His Songs


Singer-songwriter Chance Pena exclusively spoke to Us Weekly about his time on 'The Voice' and hinted at plans for his second album

The 24-year-old took the first weekend of Austin City Limits by storm, performing for an enthusiastic crowd at Zilker Park on Friday, October 4. Peña got his first taste of success after auditioning for season 9 of The Voice in 2015, wowing coaches Adam Levine, Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton and Pharrell Williams with his rendition of Ed Sheeran ’s “I See Fire.” At just 15 years old, Peña earned a place on Team Adam and made it to the live playoffs, learning what it takes to have “a steady career in music” once he eventually branched out on his own.
