It looks like Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale’s musical legacy is in good hands—15-year-old Zuma Rossdale just made his big debut, and he’s already winning hearts.
In a surprise moment that had the crowd at Blake Shelton’s Ole Red Bar in Tishomingo, Oklahoma buzzing, Zuma took the stage like a natural. With a guitar in hand and a cowboy hat on his head, he performed Zach Bryan’s “Oklahoma Smokeshow” to a room full of cheers—and a very proud stepdad smiling from the sidelines.
Before the first chord rang out, Shelton personally introduced Zuma, making sure he felt at ease. Dressed in classic country style—jeans, boots, and that signature hat—Zuma settled onto a stool, took a deep breath, and started strumming. What followed was a performance full of heart, poise, and raw talent.
Shelton, who’s no stranger to the stage himself, couldn’t stop grinning. He watched with pride as Zuma confidently delivered every lyric, his voice carrying through the venue with the kind of quiet charisma that turns heads. Fans quickly took to social media to share their excitement, with clips of the performance getting hundreds of likes and comments like, “He’s a natural!” and “That kid’s got it!”
This isn’t the first time one of Gwen and Gavin’s kids has stepped into the spotlight at Ole Red. Zuma’s older brother, Kingston, also made his musical debut there just last year—and now it looks like music really runs in the family.
Zuma, Kingston, and their youngest brother Apollo are Gwen Stefani’s children with her ex-husband, Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale. Since Gwen’s marriage to Shelton in 2021, Blake has taken on the role of stepdad with open arms—and open ears.
In fact, Shelton has often shared how much he values his role in the boys’ lives. “It’s given me a new sense of purpose,” he said in an interview, noting how much he enjoys sharing country life and music with them on his Oklahoma ranch.
Even Gavin Rossdale, known more for grunge than country, has shown his support. He joked in a recent interview, “Country music is the last thing I want to hear in the house—but I love that kid, and I’ll back him no matter what kind of music he makes.”
Whether Zuma keeps riding the country wave or explores other genres, one thing’s for sure: the next generation of the Stefani-Rossdale crew is already carving out a place in the spotlight—and doing it with style, heart, and a whole lot of talent.
