Usually, the 2004 pop/rock classic “She Will Be Loved” by Maroon 5 begs for a karaoke-style, loudly belted sing-along.

Yet, Utahn Keiyana Osmond’s smooth, soulful rendition challenges that notion — and it was enough to secure her a win last week during a Battle Round on the 30th season of NBC’s “The Voice.”

“One of my favorite things to do is cover songs and make them my own — Keiyana-fy them,” Osmond told The Salt Lake Tribune.

And as “Voice” coach Kelly Clarkson told Osmond after the battle: “Your voice is the most interesting story.”

Osmond, who lives in Salt Lake City, is distantly related to Utah music royalty Donny and Marie Osmond. Her great-grandfather is a cousin of Donny, but she has never met them.

She grew up in Cache Valley, where her music journey started at age 3, making up songs about anything and everything. When she was 10, she asked her mother for a guitar for Christmas, and she started writing her own music.

Her focus was on basketball throughout her teens, until her aunt found a singing competition and encouraged her to apply. Osmond went on to win the entire show and music became her go-to. She first auditioned for “The Voice” a decade prior but didn’t make it through and was hesitant to try out again.

“Historically, what I see on shows like this are powerhouse vocalists that just really can belt and do all these runs, and I don’t feel like that’s what I do,” Osmond said. “My strengths are different.”

Her “Voice” coach, country musician Riley Green, recognized that. He was the only coach who turned around after Osmond’s blind audition in which she sang “Kiss Me” by Sixpence None the Richer.

“Riley sees those strengths of mine, and that’s been a really cool experience throughout this process,” Osmond said. “He is also someone that likes to like change up songs and do it in a way that feels like you’re telling your own story.”

Heading into Cut Week, Osmond said her biggest hope is to continue approaching the show — and her music career — in a way that is authentic to herself, just like she always has.

Osmond is lesbian and was formerly a member of Utah’s predominant faith, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

“I grew up not quite seeing myself mirrored in certain music that I was listening to and certain spaces that I was involved in, and so as I’ve been able to to find myself and be honest about myself,” Osmond said, “my goal and my hope is to create a space for other people in that same situation where they can listen to music and hear their experience and story mirrored back to them.”

Beyond the show, Osmond is also working on an extended play recording she hopes to release next year.

Osmond is one of four Utahns who have competed on this season of “The Voice,” including Bluffdale’s Cade Mower, Salt Lake City’s Cal Cook and Herriman’s Johnnie Kapua.
