2. Baggage from the past resurfaced
It seemed that Myracle had the world on a string with the successful direction that her career was taking. One thing that prevented her from fully realizing real success was the depression that led to her abuse of substances. It caused her to leave music to get into therapy. She was dealing with issues and emotional trauma that resurfaced from abuse that she had faced in her past. This interfered with her life and caused her to get derailed from her musical career.
3. She’s getting her second chance
Although things started out very well for Myracle, the problems that took her away from her emerging career were things that she had to deal with. She found comfort through worship and she relocated to Tulsa, Oklahoma as a part of her journey through recovery. When she turned chairs in the blind audition of the voice she started a new phase in her life and she has been given a second chance to pursue her music career that had been put on hold for so long.
4. She attended bible college
Myracle Holloway is a native of Los Angeles, California. She left her home city as a part of her recovery journey. She enrolled in courses at the Victory Bible College in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This is why she made the move. She didn’t just choose a random place to go. She did a lot of research in the area and the school. She also has a friend who is from the Tulsa area and her friend recommended the school. After being there for a year she moved back to LA, then went back for a second round to complete school. When she was chosen as a participant in “The Voice” competitions, she had to put her school on hold once again.
5. Fate put her in the right place at the right time
Myracle was attending classes in Tulsa at the time that blind auditions were being held for “The Voice.” This was an event that would change the trajectory of Myracle’s life. Holloway shared that the first audition was held in Missouri and it was close enough for her to drive there. She believes that it was a combination of auditioning in front of those people at that time that presented the opportunity that she is now busy pursuing. It’s like everything came together at just the ideal time.
6. She misses aspects of Tulsa
Holloway was raised in a big city and moving to Tulsa for a few brief stints was a big change of pace. She acknowledges that there are some things about the area that she definitely misses. She was attending the Transformation Church in Tulsa and this is one of the things that she misses about it. She also liked the fact that it was more laid back.
