Who Was the Voice Winner? All About Adam David, the 'Underdog' Champion of Season 27

Adam David is The Voice's season 27 champion!

During the second night of the show's two-part finale on May 20, the South Florida native was crowned winner, securing a back-to-back victory for coach Michael Bublé since joining the show in season 26.

Just one week before the finale, the Grammy winner opened up to PEOPLE about maintaining his success, saying, "I won last season, and I’m back to win it again next week. Let’s go for three in a row!"

On night one of the finale, David sang Joe Cocker's "You Are So Beautiful" and Brandon Lake and Jelly Roll's "Hard Fought Hallelujah." During the show's final episode, he performed a lively duet with Bublé, in which they sang a cover of The Band's "The Weight."

Just before the winner was announced, Bublé shared some heartfelt words for David, saying, "I love you, man. You’re my kind of artist ... Congratulations, I knew you could do it. I knew you’d get here."

So, who is the winner of The Voice season 27? Here's everything to know about Adam David and his rising stardom.

He was born and raised in South Florida

David was born and raised in South Florida. The singer, who was 34 years old at the time of his audition, calls Fort Lauderdale, Fla., home.

Per his bio on Litus Music, David has spent much of his musical career playing at local venues, while also touring nationally at festivals such as SXSW and Sunfest.

He began playing guitar at 8 years old

David's musical journey began at 8 years old, when he began playing guitar.

"I was always making things, I was always kinda like coming out with little, simple melody things on the guitar," he told Deepest Dream in May 2025. "I was just having fun, and my uncle sang so I, grew up seeing him singing and playing and that’s something that I wanted to do."

A few years later, David began singing and writing songs.

"I think at that point I was just, I was just writing for me. I was very angsty, like I’m angry at my mom type stuff, but I wrote all the time," adding that he "loved the feeling of the puzzle of finding the right words what [he] was trying to say."

As he got older, David began drawing inspiration from some of music's biggest names, including Ray Charles, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown and Stevie Wonder, per his website.

He performs at rehabilitation centers

Throughout the season, David was open about his struggle with addiction and his road to recovery. According to his NBC bio, he has been clean for five years, crediting music as a "steady anchor in his life, helping him process emotions and maintain stability."

Now, he performs at rehabilitation centers each week, "using his own experiences and music to inspire others in their recovery," per his bio.

In a Facebook video, David said the biggest "wow moment" of his time on The Voice has been seeing how many people who have faced their own struggles with addiction have reached out to thank him for "being an inspiration" and sharing his story.

He released his first EP in 2014

Long before appearing on The Voice, David had already begun sharing his music with the world. In March 2014, he released his first EP, which included four songs: "Happiness," "Tennessee Honey," "Furnace of Love" and "Too Long."

A decade later, during his run on The Voice, David released his single, "Savior." During his conversation with Deepest Dream, David said it was "a really important song" to him, given that he wrote half of it while "still in active addiction."

Bublé was the only judge who turned their chair during David's audition

In his blind audition, David performed a cover of Peter Frampton's "Baby, I Love Your Way." Bublé, who was singing along from the judges panel, was the only coach to turn his chair around.

"Thank you guys," Bublé said to his fellow coaches, before turning his attention to David: "You have a character voice. You have absolute control ... The whole song, you are perfect."

He added, "I hope that I will bring you as much joy as you're going to bring me every single time we work together and I hear you sing."

During his conversation with Deepest Dream, David, who earned a place in the finale after an instant save, called himself "the underdog" of the contestants — just a few weeks before being crowned winner.

Just before taking home the title, the singer opened up about the "most important lesson" he learned from Bublé: "Trusting my instincts, believing in myself and being grateful for getting the chance to connect with all the people I get to connect with."
