Adley Stump, who was a season two The Voice Blake Shelton team member, was a Grammy Amplifier Program winner for this year.

According to a press release from PFA Media, Kirby Maurier, an R & B artist, hard rocker band American Bombshell, and Adley Stump, who was a Blake Shelton team member on season two of The Voice, are all winners of this year’s Hyundai and the Recording Academy’s fourth annual Grammy Amplifier Program.

These winners were chosen from 4,000 entrants and they won one of three prize packages, a studio recording session with a Recording Academy producer, a live performance  showcase series opening for a noted artist, or the filming of a music video with a celebrated director.

Maurier, American Bombshell and Stump were named winners by Big Sean , Lzzy Hale and Sam Hunt on February 22.

American Bombshell is hailed from Indiana and they recently released a music video for their song, “No Regrets.”

“Winning Grammy Amplifier is an incredible honor for us. It’s allowing American Bombshell … five dudes from Greenwood, Indiana, an opportunity to spread our pure, unfiltered unadulterated brand of in your face rock and roll, far and wide. We look forward to kicking in every new door presented to us,” the band stated in a press release.

Maurier started with the music business at a young age. She is a founder of the Miami Music Museum, which preserves the music history of Miami. “Doing the Most” is her first album and it was the highest selling indie album in the South Atlantic Region for last year.

“I’m so overcome with excitement!” Maurier said in a press release. “Having this opportunity to not only increase my exposure, but to gain what is essential for my development as an artist, my goal is to use my gift to express myself and make music to which everyone can relate. This platform will undoubtedly enable me to reach a broader audience and connect with music lovers across the country, who may not know who I am. With the support of the Grammys and Hyundai I fell so much closer to achieving those goals.”

If it wasn’t for a dare, Stump, wouldn’t have auditioned for season two of The Voice. She can be proud of her Top 40 iTunes Country Chart spot, for a couple of her releases. She is recording an album now and was also a contributor to the book “How They Sell Music.”

“What an immeasurable honor,” she was quoted as saying in a press release. “I’m so thankful to the Grammy’s for front-running this initiative that recognizes and fosters independent talent. I couldn’t be more humbled to have been acknowledged, there is no better organization from which to learn and grow, not only as an artist, but as a person and member of the creative community I love so much.”
