Kay appeared on season five of the American edition of The Voice, accompanied by his father who had taken a break from the Commodores tour to encourage him. In the blind auditions, Kay sang "Easy", a Commodores song, but did not get any of the judges to turn their chairs around, although they generally praised his singing.
