On the evening of May 20, 2025, Adam David, a 34-year-old singer-songwriter from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, was crowned the winner of The Voice Season 27, cementing his place in the show’s storied history. The soulful artist from Team Michael Bublé, whose journey on the NBC singing competition captivated audiences worldwide, beat out four other talented finalists to claim the title, a $100,000 prize, and a recording contract. As confetti fell and fans erupted in cheers, Adam’s victory marked a triumphant moment for a man whose path to the top was defined by resilience, raw talent, and an unshakable connection to music. Here’s everything you need to know about Adam David, the 2025 winner of The Voice.

A Humble Beginning and a Lifelong Love for Music

Adam David’s story is one of perseverance and passion. Born and raised in South Florida, Adam discovered his love for music at a young age, picking up the guitar at just eight years old. “I was always making things, coming up with little, simple melody things on the guitar,” Adam shared in an interview with Deepest Dream. He grew up watching his uncle sing and play, a formative influence that inspired him to pursue music himself. By the age of 11, Adam added singing and songwriting to his repertoire, honing his craft at a performing arts camp where he developed his voice and stage presence.

But Adam’s journey wasn’t without its challenges. He has been open about his struggle with addiction, particularly with cocaine, which he revealed during his time on The Voice. Music became his lifeline, helping him process his emotions during his darkest moments. After entering rehab through Music Cares, a program that provides grants to music professionals in need, Adam emerged stronger, celebrating six years of sobriety in March 2025. During his recovery, he wrote his single “Savior,” which he completed on the final day of a two-week treatment program. Now, Adam performs weekly at rehabilitation centers, hoping to inspire others with his story and his music.

The Voice Journey: From Underdog to Champion

Adam’s path on The Voice Season 27 was anything but predictable. During the Blind Auditions, he performed Peter Frampton’s “Baby I Love Your Way,” a soulful rendition that earned him a single chair turn from coach Michael Bublé. While Adam had hoped for all four coaches to turn, Bublé’s belief in him was enough to secure his spot on the show. “You have a character voice, you have absolute control. You are perfect,” Bublé told him during the auditions, setting the tone for a mentorship that would carry Adam to victory.

Throughout the competition, Adam’s performances showcased his versatility and emotional depth. In the Battle Rounds, he advanced with a rendition of Bublé’s own song, “Home,” paired against teammate Ricardo Moreno. He continued to impress in the Knockouts with Allen Stone’s “Unaware,” a performance that highlighted his smoky, soulful voice, which coach Kelsea Ballerini described as “barbecue” for its sweet yet gritty quality. In the Playoffs, Adam’s cover of Bob Dylan’s “I Shall Be Released” earned high praise, with Adam Levine admitting, “Shame on us, because I believe you so wholeheartedly.”

The Live Semi-finals proved to be a pivotal moment for Adam. He found himself in the middle four, requiring an Instant Save to secure his spot in the Top 5. His soaring performance of Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” stunned viewers, earning him the votes needed to advance. “Adam David might have just won #TheVoice with that song choice,” one fan posted on X, reflecting the growing support for the underdog. That momentum carried him into the finale, where he faced off against fellow Team Bublé contestant Jadyn Cree, Team Kelsea’s Jaelen Johnston, Team Adam’s Lucia Flores-Wiseman, and Team Legend’s RENZO.

A Finale Performance That Sealed the Win

The Season 27 finale, a two-night event on May 19 and 20, was a star-studded affair, featuring guest performances by Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, Alicia Keys, and Sheryl Crow, among others. On the first night, each finalist performed twice—an up-tempo song and a ballad—to win America’s votes. Adam’s performances were a masterclass in emotional delivery. He opened with a soulful rendition of Billy Preston’s “You Are So Beautiful,” a performance critics described as “vocally flawless” and “subtly rendered.” His second song, Jelly Roll and Brandon Lake’s “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” showcased his ability to connect with lyrics, with a backing choir adding depth to the emotional weight of the performance.

Fans on social media were quick to praise Adam’s finale performances. One user on X wrote, “Adam David drops the guitar and strips it back to sing a classic, very heartfelt, great grit, voice sailing over the space. He has such a pleasing tone, likeable & believable onstage personality.” Another noted, “Adam David telling the story. I enjoy him most when he is emphatically delivering lyrics with the hits & grit… This is one I could listen to again and again.” On the second night, Adam performed a duet with Bublé, covering The Band’s “The Weight.” Their camaraderie was evident, with one fan posting, “Love their comradery, very comfortable on stage together, giving each other great energy.”

When host Carson Daly announced the final rankings, Adam David was named the winner, with Jaelen Johnston as runner-up, followed by RENZO in third place, Lucia Flores-Wiseman in fourth, and Jadyn Cree in fifth. Bublé leapt from his chair, embracing Adam in a tearful hug. “I love you, man,” Bublé said, his voice breaking. “You’re my kind of artist… Congratulations, I knew you’d get here.” Adam’s victory marked Bublé’s second consecutive win, following Sofronio Vasquez’s triumph in Season 26, making him the first coach since Blake Shelton to achieve back-to-back victories.

The Impact of a Voice Victory

Adam’s win on The Voice comes with significant rewards: a $100,000 cash prize and a recording contract, offering him a platform to launch his career. But beyond the tangible rewards, Adam’s journey has resonated deeply with viewers, particularly those who have faced similar struggles with addiction. “It’s a scary thing to put yourself out there,” Adam told Deepest Dream. “And just to know that I have so much support from people that I don’t even know is a really special thing for me.” His performances at rehabilitation centers, where he hopes to inspire others, are likely to expand with his newfound platform.

Fans have already taken to social media to express their excitement for Adam’s future. One user on X wrote, “Such talent on @NBCTheVoice this season. Adam David is the winner! Wow, what a VOICE!!! Sign me up for his album!!!” Another celebrated, “Adam David from #TeamBuble is the winner of #TheVoice!” The outpouring of support underscores the impact Adam has had, not just as a singer, but as a symbol of resilience and authenticity.

What’s Next for Adam David?

As Adam steps into the spotlight as The Voice Season 27 champion, the music world is eager to see what’s next for this talented artist. With a recording contract in hand, Adam is poised to release new music, building on the success of his single “Savior.” He has expressed a desire to continue “putting out original music and traveling the world performing it,” a goal that now seems within reach. His soulful voice, described by Bublé as having “absolute control,” is likely to find a wide audience, particularly among fans of bluesy, heartfelt music.

For Michael Bublé, Adam’s win is a testament to his coaching prowess. As the only coach returning for Season 28, alongside Snoop Dogg, Niall Horan, and Reba McEntire, Bublé will have the chance to aim for a three-peat, a feat only Blake Shelton has accomplished. But for now, the spotlight belongs to Adam David, whose journey from a one-chair turn to The Voice winner has inspired countless viewers. As he embarks on this new chapter, Adam leaves Season 27 not just as a champion, but as an artist whose voice—and story—will continue to resonate for years to come.
