(Radio.com) The death of former Voice contestant Christina Grimmie has shocked the music world.

"Words cannot begin to describe the pain I am feeling," he writes. "I learned this business through the eyes of a father and Christina was like a second daughter to me. All I wanted to do was assist her in achieving her musical dreams while protecting her from the pitfalls associated with the business. I never could have imagined this horrific event being one of the pitfalls needing to be avoided. In Christina's honor, I have created a GoFundMe page to assist her family in their time of need."
