Lewis, one of eight children born in Haines City, grew up singing in the choir at her father鈥檚 church. She started her career with Grammy and Oscar Award winner Peabo Bryson, who invited her to tour the world with him as a backing vocalist and his new duet partner. Her acquaintance with Bryson led to a worldwide tour with Grammy and Oscar Award winner Celine Dion. Lewis spent several years working with Dion as her backing vocalist, vocal director and choreographer.
She blew away all four judges on this season鈥檚 The Voice and chose Coach Blake Shelton who told her, “You’re One In A Trillion.鈥� Coach Usher told Lewis he was 鈥渂lown away鈥� at her voice, saying, 鈥淵ou are our teacher, even as experienced as we are.鈥� Fellow coach Shakira said 鈥淪isaundra is one of the most amazing vocalists I’ve ever heard.鈥�
