News Americas, LOS ANGELES., Weds. Oct. 22, 2014: Kingston, Jamaica-born, Massachusetts singer, Anita Antoinette, has advanced on music reality show, The Voice.

Antoinette beat out fellow team mate Mayra Alvarez to win her Battle Rounds Tuesday night and remain on Team Gwen Stefanie on Season 7 of the competition.

Antoinette returned to The Voice stage after she auditioned in Season 3. Although she wasn’t able to get a chair to turn, she impressed the coaches, and they encouraged her to come back. Two years later, Antoinette’s taking their advice and giving it another shot.

Antoinette, a graduate of the Berklee College of Music who moved to the U.S. at age 8, secured a four chair turn from all the judges following her audition with reggae legend Bob Marley’s ‘Turn Your Lights Down Low.’

The show continues on NBC at 8 p.m. EST on Monday night, Oct. 27th
