A thoughtful review of Mycle’s career, discussing his early years with the Army and time in Saudi Arabia during Operation Desert Storm.  Here’s an excerpt:

More than 20 years ago, an Army private appeared on a CNN Christmas broadcast strumming his guitar and singing “Silent Night” in Mina, Saudi Arabia.

The Soldier was Mycle Wastman, and that program turned out to be a glimpse of the future for the young musician.

After an active duty Army career from 1990 to 1994, Wastman served afterward in the Army Reserves as a chaplain’s assistant at Madigan Army Medical Center at Fort Lewis from 1995 to 1996.

“While I was in the service, I’ve always had a love for music,” Wastman said. “It was always my passion, but it never was something I was pursuing as a career.”

There’s a nice writeup on Mycle’s Voice audition by our hometown Seattle Weekly.  Here’s how they describe Cee Lo and and Adam trying to get Mycle on their team:

It’s always entertaining to watch the judges fight over a contestant. Cee Lo said, “You got the whole spectrum, man, you are the total package. I’m the most excited about you, than anyone else today,” and then spouted some made-up story about how Al Green is his godfather and he was named after him. Adam cut him off to tell Wastman, “I have a weakness for that song, but that makes me listen to it all the more carefully because I love it so much, and you did such an incredible, incredible job.” Blake said, “You’re the best vocalist we have heard today. That is a fact.”
