Sylvia Yacoub is a member of Christina Aguilera's team on The Voice season 3.

At 5, Yacoub moved from Egypt to USA. She credits her musicality from her mother. This political science and philosophy double major takes inspiration from Christina Aguilera on her music.

This Egyptian native first came to the U.S. at age 5 and credits her mother for teaching her how to sing: a passion denied to her mom while living in the Middle East. Sylvia has found the perfect coach in Christina as she counts the songstress among her biggest influences. A political science and philosophy double major, Sylvia hopes The Voice will be her ticket to dreams she has always wanted to achieve.

Yacoub was eliminated during the Top 10 results show on "The Voice" season 3.
