Dartmouth resident Giuliana Amaral featured on ‘The Voice.’ What’s next?

Dartmouth’s resident Giuliana Amaral showed off her music talents and powerful voice Tuesday night on national TV.

Amaral, 21, brought out her guitar and performed Dio’s “Rainbow in the Dark” on NBC’s season 24 of "The Voice" Blind Auditions.

Although she didn’t turn any chairs, she told O Jornal that being on "The Voice" will certainly be one of her top experiences in her life.

“It was super fun and I’m so happy I got the chance to go in front of the judges and do it all,” she said. “Something that I’m very proud of is the fact that I was the first person and the first woman to play bass on the show. I was also the first person to cover Dio, so that makes me really happy to think that I did that."

Although her effort was not enough to get a chair turned, Coaches Reba McEntire and Gwen Stefani considered it.

Coach Niall Horan explained the song she picked didn’t fully showcase her vocal range and dynamics.

“It kind of had one pitch and one level of volume, and it kind of stayed there,” he said. “That’s literally the only reason I did not turn. Your voice is amazing, and your tone is really piercing. I was so happy to hear a female rock voice.”

Stefani said she was waiting to hear more diversity in Amaral’s voice.

“Because we have to figure out what other songs you’re going to do and how you’re going to compete with everybody else,” she said.

McEntire encouraged Amaral to return to "The Voice."

“Best of luck to you, please came back and try again,” she said.

The Wareham native, who lived in New Bedford for most of her life, said that if there’s one thing she learned about herself from this experience is that she can keep a secret.

“I was so happy to share the news with everyone when I was able to finally tell them I was on 'The Voice,'” she said, noting that she even had to keep the news from her family and friends for a while.

Amaral is currently taking some time off from studying Performance at Berklee College of Music in Boston and performs regularly with her Boston-based metal group, Band, Inc. at venues around the country, including the famous Whisky a Go Go in Los Angeles.

Band Inc. has opened shows for big names such as Alice Cooper, Buckcherry, Grace Potter and The Dave Matthews Band.

In 2020, she had the chance to sing one of her all-time favorite songs “Love of my Life” with Queen’s Brian May.

She has won several awards, including Best Young Artist Of The Year by The New England Music Hall Of Fame, Female Vocalist Of The Year by Limelight Magazine, and New Talent at the 2022 International Portuguese Music Awards (IPMA) with her single “Midnite Rider.”

Earlier this year, Band, Inc. was also a finalist in the IPMA Best Rock Performance and IPMA Song of the Year categories, with the song “Ruined Myself” that she co-wrote with her friend Victor Adriel.

Amaral lists Led Zeppelin, Motörhead, Queen, Fleetwood Mac, Mötley Crüe, Guns N’Roses and Stevie Nicks as some of her musical influences.

After being on "The Voice," she made a stop in Nashville with her band to record a new song with producer Johnny K.

“He is an incredible producer and I’m very happy we had the honor to work with him on our new upcoming single,” she said. “It’s a song I co-wrote with my guitar player Crispy Borell and it’s called ‘Queen of Insanity.’ It will be released in a few weeks. Next week, we will be filming the music video in L.A. with one of the best video directors. It will be our first official music video and we’re very excited about it.”

She said the community’s reaction since she appeared on "The Voice" has been overwhelming.

“I’ve been able to see how supportive my community is and how amazing everyone has been with the reactions and comments that I’ve been receiving since the episode aired,” she said. “I’m so thankful to be from a town that is small yet so encouraging and filled with people who have huge hearts. I thank everyone who has been supporting me. Regarding the impact on my music, hopefully people who didn’t know me will find my band and hear our music through all streaming platforms.”
