Jershika Maple Biography – Jershika Maple Wiki
Jershika Maple is an American singer and songwriter. She was a contestant on Season 21 NBC’s – The Voice under the coaching of Team Legend. At the beginning of the show, she joined Kelly Clarkson’s team after her Blind Audition but was later taken by Legend. According to her The Voice, while she was in middle school, they finally settled down and Jershika was able to get into music. She joined every choir she could and was thrilled to have a steady group of friends, but unfortunately, her family moved again halfway through her senior year.
She remained focused on graduating and went on to pursue her dream of music. To make ends meet, she currently works full-time as a security guard and spends her nights and weekends gigging. Jershika has made a name for herself in the local gospel world but is ready to leave her day job behind and work solely on her music.
She stated that she had been singing since she was 3 years old, saying her mother and uncle noticed her singing along to Barnie and recognized her talent. “So, my mom put me in the church choir, I was in the children’s choir, every choir you could think of ever since,” she shared. “I was big in the choir scene.” She also struggled with dyslexia in school and had to repeat the fourth grade. She faced bullying from her classmates, but two of her elementary school teachers helped her through it. She performed “God Only Knows” by For King & Country during one of the week’s shows in honor of them.
She was inspired to audition for The Voice with the encouragement of two former contestants. She is friends with both Myracle Holloway and Rose Short from Season 17 of the show. In an interview, Jershika said Rose told her to “just be myself.” She delivered great performances during her time on The Voice, including her cover of “Inseparable” by Natalie Cole during the Knockouts against Paris Winningham.
Jershika’s Top 13 performance of “God Only Knows” was recorded and released online, but it’s not her first single. In May 2021, she released the spiritual track “I Give.” Before that, in 2019, she released the single “Let God Take You Higher.” They’re both available to stream and download. In an Instagram live, Jershika shared that “gospel is home for me,” and while she’s interested in trying out different styles of music, she’s most passionate about “inspirational music in general.” She added that she wants to put out a full gospel album. She also plans to work with producer David Grand Jr. (who produced “I Give”) on future projects.
