DOUGLASVILLE, GA — A 17-year-old Douglasville girl has reached one of the top honors of musical contest shows by being chosen for a spot on The Voice.

Megan Danielle was encouraged to start singing by her grandmother, according to NBC's profile of the vocalist.

She was raised by a single mom with four siblings. Her mom worked as a waitress, the profile says, so it wasn't always easy growing up. She now works as a waitress, dishwasher and cashier at a restaurant her mom now manages.
