However, this was not the first time Rubin, the youngest remaining contestant of the show, had Stefani in tears over his incredible talent. Stefani also brushed back tears when he performed in the first live show of the program.

The country singer went further to state that she had a personal connection with the song the young and upcoming Rubin chose to perform because she sings it to her boys at home.

Rubin was picked on by older boys in school for being different due to his unique voice and sound.

In the spirit of love and family, Rubin dedicated his performance of the single, "Rainbow Connection," to his elder brother, Jack, who is autistic.

Rubin comes from a family of musicians and is inspired by his grandfather, a guitarist and backup vocalist for "Jay and the American."

Besides his dedication to performing at his family's autism foundation, Rubin is also invested in performing at his school's musicals and several other community events.

Rubin was picked on by older boys in school for being different due to his unique voice and sound but soon realized his uniqueness was special and did not need people's validation.

The teenager has always had a passion for the musical arts, and it is clear from his jaw-dropping performances at "The Voice" that he will become a global star in years to come.
