Listen "John Legend’s ’Twin’ Talakai Seizes The Moment"
Episode Synopsis
As doppelgangers go, Talakai is the ultimate winner. And now he can credit his likeness for his latest opportunity.
Talakai is a 34-year-old singer from Sacramento. He turned chairs with his rendition of Sam Smith's "Stay With Me" during the blind auditions on "The Voice." Then, he turned heads with his uncanny resemblance to judge John Legend.
“Wait until you see his face,” Legend told Niall Horan and Gwen Stefani as the other coaches turned their chairs following Talakai’s performance.
Twinning with a superstar is nothing new for Talakai. He can't go anywhere without someone saying something. The thing is, Talakai can sing. Like, really sing. And now the world, and John Legend, know it.
Talakai stopped by the KCRA 3 studios in his now signature "Legend" jacket and charmed everyone he met. He's as likable as he is talented and is enjoying every minute of what he calls "the best week of my life."
He is seizing the moment and has advice on how you can, too.

How to take advantage of a natural edge
How to be in the moment when it happens
