Geusebroek continued on a solo career, taking part in 2011 in the second season of The Voice of Holland as a contestant in Team Angela (Angela Groothuizen).[1] During his run, three of his interpretations became minor hits appearing on the Dutch "Single Top 100" charts, namely for "Save the World", "Old and Wise" (an Alan Parsons project song) and "Titanium" (from David Guetta). He reached the semi-finals before getting eliminated in week 6 finishing in the 5th to 8th bracket.
