The triumph of stepping out from her brothers shadow brought Halimah Kyrgios to tears on The Voice tonight.

Wanting the world to know she is not just the older sister of the outspoken tennis star Nick Kyrgios, Halimah firmly stole the spotlight as she commanded the stage on the reality singing competition as she belted out Tina Arena’s hit song Chains.

Ahead of her audition, the Canberra raised singer made it clear she wasn’t the only family member with big ambitions, but admitted she wasn’t as “out there” as her “little” brother.

“Having Nick in the limelight, it’s been a good and a bad thing. There is added pressure,” she said.

“Growing up we were always together, he was also singing and dancing, but then he just had a natural gift for tennis. I look to him a lot for inspiration, because he’s such a fighter — everyone knows he battles for everything. So even though he’s much younger than me I think if he can do it, then what’s stopping me?”

As Halimah began performing coach Guy Sebastian was first to turn, quickly followed by Jessica Mauboy and then Keith Urban before Rita Ora turned on the last vocal.

Ora quizzed the singer if she had a penchant for musical theatre, in which Halimah has travelled around the world performing in musicals.

“You can tell because your stamina is really fantastic,” Ora remarked.

“People forget you have to be an athlete in being a performer, just as much as playing tennis... you just came on stage and you were totally rocking it.”

But just before Halimah decided which coach she was going to choose, Nick himself popped up on the video behind mum.

“I just flew back from Sydney, so I missed it,” Nick said but agreed his older sister was always “amazing.”

“She nailed it. It was even better than your shot through the legs,” Sebastian joked, before Halimah chose Ora as her coach.

The Voice continues tomorrow night on Seven.
