ITHACA, NY (607NewsNow) – A Cornell student is hitting the national stage in hopes of stardom.

On March 2, the class of 2026’s Adi Arora appeared in the second episode of the blind audition portion of the hit NBC show “The Voice Battle of the Champions.”

The 21-year-old computer science major from New Jersey received interest from judges John Legend and Kelly Clarkson. The Cornell Daily Sun reports Arora chose Team Legend because of the singer’s Ivy League and a cappella background. Legend sang in an a cappella group while attending the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn).

Arora plans to move to New York City after graduation and pursue a job related to his degree while working on his music career.

Arora moves into the battle portion of the show, which airs every Monday at 9 p.m. on NBC/Peacock.
