It is part of the reality singing competition The Voice Kids worldwide franchise, created by Dutch television producer John de Mol. The show ran for four seasons between 2013 and 2016.
In 2013, American Spanish-language network Telemundo (a subsidiary of NBCUniversal Television Group) introduced a children's version of The Voice in Spanish called La Voz Kids. It featured Spanish-speaking American children from 7 to 15 years of age. Prizes include $50,000 cash for their education and a recording contract with Universal Music Group.
