She was on the second season of NBC's The Voice and was one of the top 10 contestants. Trained in jazz during her childhood, Mathai started developing her vocal style around the age of sixteen with a sound reminiscent of Billie Holiday, Norah Jones, Nelly Furtado, and Adele, although two of her biggest influences are Johnny Cash and Amy Winehouse.{{citation needed|date=May 2017}} Early lifeSharon Mathai was born on November 27, 1992 in Queens, New York, Mathai to parents from Kerala, India. Being the first generation of her family born in the United States, her stage name is the name Mathai, which is the name 'Matthew' in Malayalam, as derived from Hebrew.

In November 2011, on a dare from friends, Mathai auditioned for Season 2 of the talent competition series, The Voice on NBC.[3] After making it through the blind auditions, her rendition of "Rumor Has It" by Adele's caused coaches (Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, and Cee-Lo Green) to turn around and woo her to join their team.[4][5] Mathai joined Team Adam and over the next several weeks continued to advance before being eliminated after making the top ten.[2][6] After The VoiceMathai collaborated with Lecrae on the track "Free From it All" from Gravity, which was released September 4, 2012 and peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.[7][8] The album won the Grammy Award for Best Gospel Album.[9] Mathai's EP, Girl Like Me, was released on July 4, 2013.
