Colet Selwyn - Colet Selwyn’s Voice UK début prompted Boy George to call the young bass' voice a ‘beautiful contradiction.’ At the Gaither taping this year(2016) he described meeting his musical heroes in that magical moment while wowing his fellow singers with rich, deep tones in 'This Ole House'.

His voice has carried him all over the world; from palaces in India, royal concert halls in the UK to Wild West cowboy churches in the USA & Mexico. He is loved for his sincerity both onstage and offstage.

When he finally comes home from whirlwind tours, you can find Colet helping out at his local church in Scotland. His next project is rumoured to be just around the corner.

The Voice definitely unearthed a gem in 21-year-old student Colet Selwyn.

Originally from India, Colet is now living in Scotland. He stunned just about everyone, including coaches will.i.am, Ricky Wilson, Boy George and Paloma Faith, with his audition.

Colet opened his mouth and a deep voice boomed out for the country and western rendition of This Ole House, a song popularised by Shakin’ Stevens in the 1980s.

None of the panel hit their buzzers, but they were all visibly surprised when they saw who had auditioned.

Ricky bounded to the stage and playfully pretended to look elsewhere for the singing contestant.

“Where is he?” he called out. “Where is he?” the Kaiser Chiefs frontman yelled before shaking Colet’s hand.

Boy George said: “Often on the show, you hear someone and you think you’ve got a really clear idea of what they’re going to look like, hence Ricky scouring the stage for you.

“It’s what I call a beautiful contradiction. It’s almost impossible to connect you, the way that you look culturally and age-wise to that style of music, so well done.”

Twitter was divided, with many sharing the surprise felt by the coaches. However, others felt the preconceived notions bordered on prejudice.
