Adam Levine and Alexia Jayy, Season 29 winner of 'The Voice.' Trae Patton/NBC Alexia Jayy’s powerhouse voice carried her to the top on The Voice. After weeks of battles in which she delivered knockout performances of songs from Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Adele, and more, Jayy was crowned the winner of Season 29. She’s the first Black woman to win The Voice in its 15-year history.
“Thank you guys for absolutely everything this was unforgettable experience and one I’ll remember for the rest of my life,” Jayy wrote on Instagram. The 31-year-old competed on Team Adam, handing coach Adam Levine his first win since season nine and fourth overall. He is now tied with Kelly Clarkson for most wins.
Jayy celebrated her victory with a performance at Blue Note in Los Angeles. “A whole watch party for the finale… then hearing my name called as the winner,” she wrote on Instagram. “I got on that stage right after, poured my heart out, and even had a lil duet with Adam. Thank y’all for real… the way you keep showing up and showing OUT for me? I feel every bit of it. Forever grateful. Just the beginning.”
