Transgender

If Jim as well as Sasha Allen were able to make it on The Voice Live Shows, they set records because Sasha is the very first transgender person on the NBC competition series to advance past in the Battle Rounds in the entire 21 seasons of the show. The Newtown, Conn. duo is now in the Top 8 of the competition! Sasha made it known that he's transgender when they announced their auditions during the Blind Auditions. According to Parade.com they said this wasn't a quick decision. "That was an extremely difficult choice because you are showing a very sensitive part of yourself to millions and millions of viewers," said Sasha, whom he transitioned to while in high school. The fan support as well as the effects that this is having on others, even though it was hard to make and was the main reason that was the main factor that convinced Sasha to make the change worth it. The Voice wasn't even around at the time we performed this track. We were thrilled to receive it. We had heard of the song and had ideas on how to set it up. "I found myself pleasantly shocked by how good the fan base nailed the song."
