Who is The Voice 2021 finalist Hannah Williams?
Mum-of-one Hannah is a full-time vocal coach, and she will be hoping her voice keeps her in good stead as she aims to become the winner of the 2021 series.
Which Jay-Z song does Hannah Williams appear on?
The 38-year-old has already worked tirelessly to obtain the most impressive singing credentials of all the remaining contestants, as her vocals feature on a track by hip-hop icon Jay-Z.
Back in 2017, described her as "the voice and inspiration for the title track on Jay-Z's long-awaited new album, 4:44.
"Produced by the legendary No ID, 4:44 uses a long sample from 'Late Nights & Heartbreak' by Williams and her band, The Affirmations.
"In one of the most-discussed tracks on the release, Jay-Z apologises to his wife, Beyonce, for his infidelity, brought to light by her most recent album, Lemonade."
Billboard spoke to Hannah while she was running the music department at the University of Winchester.
She told the music website that her influences included Aretha Franklin and Etta James, adding, "but I never wanted to sound like anyone else… I don't think any artist does, really.
"I just want to sound like me and hope that listeners enjoy my sound."
Hannah has already expressed her fear that this show may be her last chance to get a real foothold in the music industry and become a recording artist.

Which songs has she performed in The Voice?
Hannah Williams’ unforgettable blind audition had the "coaches on the edge of their seats - and the virtual audience on the edge of their sofas," says ITV.
She wowed the judges in her audition with a heartfelt rendition of Lorraine Ellison’s ‘Stay with me’, before knocking out fellow contestant Sami Nathan in the Battle Round when Hannah sang Julie London’s ‘Cry me a River’.
In the semi-finals she performed Gravity.
Speaking to press including about their duet tonight, Tom Jones said: “I think we picked a really good song for both of us.
"You need a song that you can sing, because we don’t want it to be too quirky or to try to get too clever.
“You try different things out, then you think, ‘Well that’s good, but is it going to do her justice?’ And I think we do with the one we chose.
"I don’t think we’re going to get any better than this. I don’t think we could have picked a better song to show off Hannah, and myself.”

What does the winner of The Voice get?
As years have gone by, the prize for winning The Voice UK has changed.
When the show first hit our screens on the BBC, there was a £100,000 cash prize for the victorious contestant.
Since the show has moved to ITV, there is no cash prize - replaced instead by a record deal with Polydor Records alongside the release of their debut single.
