Okulaja gave an epic performance on The Voice UK’s semi-final this weekend.
17-year-old student Okulaja originally wowed the coaches at his audition with his own take on Everything I Wanted by Billie Eilish.
Okulaja won a spot on Team Will where he faced Janel Antoneshia in the battles.
Although he originally lost his battle, Okulaja returned to the competition after Janel decided to withdraw for personal reasons.
For the semi-final, he performed Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ Can’t Hold Us together with his own lyrics.
