Amber Carrington

From her earliest years, Amber Carrington, a devoted admirer of Dolly Parton who crafts country-pop songs and performs them from her Texas base, swapped her makeshift microphone for the real thing when she turned ten. She refined her skills through performances at nearby rodeo events and opry venues, eventually leaving a notable mark during the 2013 edition of The Voice. Her audition featured an energetic take on Carrie Underwood's hit "Good Girl," earning her a spot on Adam Levine's team; she emerged as a standout contestant that season but was ultimately bested by Danielle Bradbery.
