Melbourne rapper Denzel had the four coaches fighting over him at the Blind Auditions. And yet he might be the first person to appear on The Voice Australia who admits he canโt actually sing.
โMan, if I could sing, I would!โ he tells TV WEEK with a laugh. โSinging would be dope! I definitely have a lot of praise for singers, the work that goes into it, and the notes they can hit. Itโs nuts!โ

Denzel had all four coaches fighting over him following his Blind Audition.
(Image: Nine)Denzel, 20, started rapping four years ago, when he was in Year 11. He says itโs the songwriting that appeals to him.
โItโs more about the writing than it actually is about the sound,โ he explains.
When he was approached to audition for The Voice, Denzel was working as a model. He says he got into modelling by โpure chanceโ.
โI just happened to be in a club and there was a scout for an agency and he said, โYou should model.โ I was like, โOkay, letโs do it.'โ
Heโs modelled for Myer, Target and more, but says rapping is โdefinitelyโ more important to him.
โModellingโs not โHave to do or it or Iโll die.โ I think itโs a crazy industry, a crazy job to have.โ
As for his comments at the Blind Audition that he wanted to โmake a revolution happenโ, Denzel was talking about changing the way people in Australia view rap. He says rap can be about anyoneโs daily struggles, including mental health.
โPeople just say, โOh, look at Tupac. Tupac had a gun. Rap is bad.โ
โI think the old heads in this country dismiss it too quickly. The fact is, the new generation of kids and the new generation who are going to take over the country, itโs what they love to listen to. So Iโm trying to show people that rap isnโt bad.โ
