The Voice debuted in April 2011.
Over 29 seasons, the hit singing competition series has crowned winners like Cassadee Pope, Girl Named Tom, and Alexia Jayy.
Many victors have returned to perform on the show.
The Voice has established itself as a star-making platform over the past 15 years, helping launch the careers of artists like Cassadee Pope and Morgan Wallen. So far, 29 talented singers have turned the heads (and chairs) of the show's expert coaching panel — and, by extension, the world.
While some champions have gone on to release chart-topping singles, headline tours, and land major record deals, others have enjoyed quieter careers or found success on social media.
Now, we're taking a look back at every winner of The Voice. Here's where their post-show paths have taken them.

Javier Colon (season 1)

Javier Colon became the first winner of The Voice on June 29, 2011. The Connecticut-born performer tried his hand at music before appearing on the show, releasing tracks both under labels and independently.
A member of Team Adam Levine, he impressed on The Voice and put out a studio album, Come Through for You, soon after. The record fell short on the charts, and Colon ended his agreement with Universal Republic Records. The singer reached a new agreement with a different label and released Gravity in April 2016.
Gravity remains Colon's most recent studio album, though he continues to perform, including on Stephen Kellogg's "Old Friends" tour in 2025.
Colon returned to The Voice in season 29 as part of an in-season All-Star competition.
