I think every guy goes through that phase when they\u2019re shaving and they try goatee and they try a mustache. It just stuck,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd now it\u2019s a whole thing. I see fake mustaches in the crowd at my shows. I didn\u2019t know I was going to be the mustache guy, but here I am.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With his cowboy hat and mustache in hand, Green his ready for his new Voice gig. During the show\u2019s 30th season, Green will be competing against returning coaches Adam Levine and Kelly Clarkson, as well as fellow newcomer Queen Latifah.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s tough. Adam been there forever. Queen Latifah is very, very famous,\u201d he said, before revealing that Clarkson is the coach he\u2019s most worried about. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cShe\u2019s going to try to get some of my country acts on the show,\u201d Green said.<\/p>\n<p>Riley Green Opens Up About Being a Coach on The Voice<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During an appearance on American Songwriter\u2019s Off the Record podcast, <a href=\"https:\/\/americansongwriter.com\/riley-green-on-joining-the-voice-his-new-album-and-15-years-of-lessons-learned-exclusive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Green revealed<\/a> what he\u2019s looking for during the Blind Auditions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell, if you get up there and sing a classic country song, you\u2019re going to have a little advantage over everybody else,\u201d Green said. \u201cBut I grew up listening to all kinds of music. So for me, it\u2019s just, I think, a voice that is believable with lyrics.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think that a lot of people can sing really well. Certainly being able to have a career without being the greatest singer in the world is how I got here,\u201d he added. \u201cIf somebody can make me believe what they\u2019re singing about, that always draws me in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for what he\u2019s most looking forward about being a coach, Green said, \u201cObviously it\u2019s a great career stepping stone for me to get in front of a new audience, but also I think I\u2019ll be excited about trying to help out some people that are trying to do what I\u2019m doing.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI signed a record deal in 2018, so I\u2019m fairly new to some people, and people are just finding me now, but I\u2019ve been doing it for 15 years,\u201d he said. \u201cSo there are a lot of things I\u2019ve learned, especially what not to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Season 30 of The Voice will premiere Sept. 21 on NBC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photo by Michael Buckner\/Variety via Getty Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Riley Green has a plan for The Voice.
