In Episode 35 of The Sheckler Spotlight, Harrison sits down with Todd Tilghman, winner of Season 18 of NBC’s The Voice, for an honest and inspiring conversation about faith, family, and the realities of life after national fame.
Todd shares his journey from growing up as a pastor’s kid in Mississippi to leading a church, taking a leap of faith to audition for The Voice, and ultimately winning the competition. He opens up about the pressures of the entertainment industry, the responsibility of providing for a large family, and how his relationship with God continues to guide every decision he makes.
The conversation explores:
• Todd’s upbringing and early musical influences
• His experience working with Blake Shelton on The Voice
• The challenges and misconceptions of the music industry
• Balancing career ambitions with faith and family life
• His passion for foster care and serving others
• Writing music that reflects real, everyday human experience
Known for his soulful voice and authentic storytelling, Todd discusses his “slice of life” approach to music — songs rooted in faith, love, and the passage of time — and his latest projects, including new music hitting radio.
This episode is a powerful reminder that success isn’t just measured by fame, but by purpose, calling, and the impact we have on others.
