“It’s gonna always be ‘Pressure’, but I’m gonna always be ready for it,” Spence wrote on Instagram to accompany a black and white clip of himself singing. “Here’s a lil snippet of a song I wrote.”

What Has Spence Been Up to Since ‘American Idol’?

Earlier this year, Spence released an original song for American Idol called “Never Be Alone.” He also released an EP called The Voice, which features the single “So Gone” and five other songs.

Spence has also been performing live over the past several months. In June, he joined fellow American Idol singer Alyssa Wray at a charity concert in Douglas, Georgia. The pair teamed up again in August to perform at Atlanta Symphony Hall.
