Music runs deep in the family of Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton, and now their 16-year-old son Zuma Rossdale is making his own mark in the scene\u2014with support coming not only from his superstar mom and stepdad but also from his father, Gavin Rossdale.<\/p>\n
The former\u00a0Voice<\/em>\u00a0coaches are well-known for their musical prowess, and it seems Zuma is following in their footsteps. Gavin Rossdale, frontman of rock band Bush and Gwen\u2019s ex-husband, recently opened up to\u00a0Us Weekly<\/em>\u00a0about his middle son\u2019s burgeoning musical talent after Zuma took the stage at Shelton\u2019s Ole Red Bar in Tishomingo, Oklahoma.<\/p>\n \u201cZuma\u2019s begun recording. He\u2019s out of control,\u201d Rossdale gushed. \u201cI\u2019m not even the best singer in my house anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n While Gavin\u2019s career leans toward rock, Zuma\u2019s musical tastes are more aligned with his stepdad Blake\u2019s country roots. At his latest performance, Zuma paid tribute to \u201990s country classics, belting out John Michael Montgomery\u2019s \u201cSold (The Grundy County Auction Incident)\u201d and tipping his black cowboy hat to Shelton with a rendition of \u201cOl\u2019 Red,\u201d the 2001 Blake Shelton hit that inspired the name of the singer\u2019s popular bars in Oklahoma and Nashville.<\/p>\n Gavin is perfectly fine with his son\u2019s musical direction. \u201cI\u2019m really careful to not push. I take pride in listening to what they\u2019re doing and not sharing anything I\u2019m doing,\u201d he told\u00a0Us<\/em>. \u201cYeah, \u2019cause it\u2019s much more healthy.\u201d<\/p>\n Though Gavin keeps his critiques light, the musical feedback flows both ways at home. When Zuma checks out what his dad is recording, he doesn\u2019t hold back. \u201cHe\u2019s listening to it, and he\u2019s giving me the poo face, and he goes, \u2018Uh, you\u2019re not putting that out, are you?\u2019\u201d Gavin recalled, laughing. When asked if there was something wrong with the track, Zuma shot back, \u201c\u2018Machinehead\u2019 is legendary, I don\u2019t know about that,\u201d before leaving the room, leaving Gavin to admit with a smile, \u201cHe destroyed me, he killed me.\u201d<\/p>\n On the other side, Blake Shelton isn\u2019t the one teaching Zuma\u2014rather, the roles are reversed. Speaking on\u00a0Taste of Country Nights<\/em>, Shelton revealed, \u201cZuma will spend about 20 minutes, him and his guitar.\u201d The country star added with enthusiasm, \u201cIt\u2019s not me showing him stuff, it\u2019s him showing me stuff. \u2018Have you heard this artist?\u2019 \u2018Listen to this song.\u2019\u201d Shelton described how this musical exchange happens almost every day, and he can\u2019t wait to get home to hear what Zuma is working on.<\/p>\n As Zuma hones his craft and blends influences from both rock and country, it\u2019s clear that his family\u2019s musical legacy is alive and well\u2014and that support from Gwen, Blake, and Gavin will help him find his own unique voice.<\/p>\n
