This collaboration promises fresh perspectives and plenty of artistic flair, with MGK offering valuable advice to contestants as they pursue their dreams.
A Sneak Peek of MGK’s Mentorship
In an exclusive clip, MGK is seen mentoring contestant Jake Tankersley. The 34-year-old rocker encouraged Jake to bring more personality to his performance, saying,
“You have a good smile, so maybe crack a smile on that and let people know they can be close to you. When you have any moment when there is no lyrics though, because there is so many words, step away from the mic and play your guitar.”
MGK further emphasized the importance of emotional connection in performances, adding,
“It’s all about the feel. You have a wife and kids, they bring the color to your life so it’s all feel.”

A Return To The Voice
This isn’t MGK’s first time on The Voice. In 2017, he performed with X Ambassadors and Bebe Rexha, delivering a memorable rendition of their song Home. Now, as a mentor, MGK hopes to inspire contestants while continuing to learn and grow himself.
“I still feel like so much of a student, so it’s hard to be in this role. But hopefully I added something,” he said humbly.
The Voice airs on NBC every Monday and Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET, with episodes available to stream on Peacock the following day. Catch MGK and Gwen Stefani in action as they guide their team toward victory!
