Holly Henry

Holly Mae Heinrich (born March 31, 1994), better known by her stage name Holly Henry, is an American singer/songwriter from Minnetonka, Minnesota. She took her stage name when competing in the fifth season of the United States version of reality singing competition The Voice.

Life and career

Henry is the daughter of Marc Heinrich, a musician and worship director and Becky Heinrich, an art teacher and graphic artist. She attended public schools in the Minneapolis area and graduated from Hopkins High School. While in high school, Henry sang in a sandwich shop gig and posted covers of songs on her YouTube channel. While taking a gap year before college, Henry's parents encouraged her to audition for The Voice at a Chicago, Illinois audition in January, 2013. Henry advanced through the open call and subsequent executive auditions and participated in The Voice boot camp during the summer of 2013. Her Blind Audition performance of The Scientist got all four chairs to turn and was (as of July 25, 2014) in the all-time Top 40 for views of The Voice Performances on YouTube. In the Battle Rounds, she was pitted against Cilla Chan, singing Torn. Henry and Chan were montaged (their vocal performances were not shown in full) and Henry was chosen to move on. In the Knockout Round she went up against Nic Hawk, singing Creep by Radiohead. She was sent home, and NBC's The Voice (US) subsequently lost 15% (1.5 million) viewers after that episode. Henry's continued popularity after her international exposure on The Voice is reflected by over 251,000 subscribers to her Hollymaezers YouTube Channel and over 19,300 followers on SoundCloud (as of January 24, 2016). She was voted #5 in the 2014 "Battle of the IDF It Girls, The Voice vs. American Idol" competition on Idolforums, which hosts discussion and fan threads for reality show contestants.

Holly

Ilex /ˈaɪlɛks/, or holly, is a genus of 400 to 600 species of flowering plants in the family Aquifoliaceae, and the only living genus in that family. The species are evergreen and deciduous trees, shrubs, and climbers from tropics to temperate zones worldwide.

Description

The genus Ilex is widespread throughout the temperate and subtropical regions of the world. It includes species of trees, shrubs, and climbers, with evergreen or deciduous foliage and inconspicuous flowers. Its range was more extended in the Tertiary period and many species are adapted to laurel forest habitat. It occurs from sea level to more than 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) with high mountain species. It is a genus of small, evergreen trees with smooth, glabrous, or pubescent branchlets. The plants are generally slow-growing with some species growing to 25 m (82 ft) tall. The type species is the European holly Ilex aquifolium described by Linnaeus.

Plants in this genus have simple, alternate glossy leaves, typically with a spiny toothed, or serrated leaf margin. The inconspicuous flower is greenish white, with four petals. They are generally dioecious, with male and female flowers on different plants.
