A young Kiwi singer who is firm favourite on The Voice Australia, has opened up about his tough upbringing.
New Zealand born Hoseah Partsch told the Daily Telegraph, "Growing up was very rough. It was so tough. It's emotional thinking about it".
The 17-year-old revealed he was raised sharing a small one-bedroom apartment with six people - his three siblings, mother and grandparents - and spent most of his life wearing only second-hand clothes and often not having food on the table.
He shared his story in the hopes that he could be an example to others that anything is possible, revealing his main motivation for trying out for The Voice was to help his family.
