Adam David managed to turn just one chair with his Blind Audition performance of Peter Frampton’s “Baby I Love Your Way” on season 27 of The Voice. Landing on defending champion Michael Bublé’s team by default, the 34-year-old from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, made sure Adam Levine came to regret that decision. Transforming from underdog to legitimate frontrunner, David was the season 27 winner once all the votes had been tallied.

For the second season in a row, Bublé guided an artist to victory. (He won his rookie season last year with Sofronio Vasquez.) And not one to leave his proteges high and dry, the “Feeling Good” crooner apparently has something brewing with his latest champion.
“He’s been very, very vocal about helping however he can,” David told Parade. “I don’t think I can get into too much detail about some of the things that we’re talking about. But, hopefully, it’s something that we can all enjoy.”
Currently, David is enjoying some well-earned downtime back home in Florida. But he’s already looking ahead to his musical future.
“I’ve got a catalog of songs. I have a lot of writer friends I want to collaborate with,” he said. The plan is to put out some music and go on to work. We’re going to put out some music, and we’re going to hit the road.”
‘The Voice’ Winner Gets Candid About Imposter Syndrome
Adam David’s journey on The Voice is certainly one for the books. After moving to Los Angeles in pursuit of a musical career, he returned home to Florida when that dream didn’t work out.
Previously, David had only used coc*aine for an all-night writing boost. However, after returning home “disillusioned, disappointed and in debt,” his addiction worsened. Fortunately, he was able to get clean, celebrating six years of sobriety this past March.
In a post-finale interview with People, David admitted that he still battles demons. “I struggle with the imposter syndrome and have since I could remember,” he said. “I think with Michael’s belief from the beginning, I’ve been working that muscle. I’ve learned that belief is a muscle. It’s a choice. And some days it’s heavier. Sometimes it’s easier to lift.”
