We left Nigeria because of the political unrest," Nelson, 32, told host Carson Daly before performing. "Our lives were in danger."

Nelson, his brothers and his mother had to leave a wrongfully imprisoned father behind in Nigeria when the came to the United States where, he said, everything changed.

"It seemed that as we walked into the land of America, I had this distant voice of 'land of opportunity and dreams,'" he said.

Music became a coping mechanism for his family, Nelson said on the show, and 16 years after moving to Baltimore, he's a local favorite and his freed father is once more with the family.

"Nelly's Echo," he said, is "based on the premise that music is a two-way street," with the audience being the echo.

"Hopefully, you'll hear the echo," Carson him.

Nelly's Echo did, in fact, hear the echo, with both Adam and Christina vying for his favor. He wound up choosing Christina to guide him through the competition, and she couldn't have been more thrilled.

"He's a true artist," she said. "He's coming from a very creative place, and I'm very excited to see where he goes from here."
