The Voice has lifted quite a few stellar vocalists to fame through its many seasons. However, few have gained as much fame, acclaim, and awards (both nominations and wins) as these four iconic contestants from The Voice. Let’s take a look!

1. Koryn Hawthorne
This Season 8 should-have-been-the-winner did not disappoint on The Voice, though we’re still pretty shocked that she didn’t win. Koryn Hawthorne came in fourth place on her season of the show after rising to the top on Pharrell’s team. And she’s enjoyed a pretty incredible career in the years since.
Hawthorne has since been nominated two different times for Grammy awards. Specifically, she was nominated for Best Gospel Performance or Song in 2019 for “Won’t He Do It” and in 2020 for the song “Speak The Name”. The Voice powerhouse also been nominated for a number of Billboard and Soul Train Music awards.
2. Morgan Wallen
The Voice has debuted just a handful of contestants as controversial as country star Morgan Wallen, but one can’t deny that he’s won quite a few awards so far in his career. Originally on the sixth season of the show on Usher’s team (before getting nabbed by Adam Levine), Wallen was eliminated in the Playoffs.
He’s since dropped a few no. 1 hits, namely “I Had Some Help” and “Man Made A Bar”. He’s also won a CMA award, an iHeart Radio award, several Billboard Music awards, an ACM award, and many more.
3. Danielle Bradbery
This Season 4 winner has an undeniably beautiful voice, and she also happened to be the youngest winner of The Voice at the time of her win. Since winning the whole dang thing on Blake Shelton’s team, Bradberry has launched a very successful country music career. She had over a dozen songs hit the Billboard Hot Country chart.
Bradbery technically hasn’t won any major awards (yet), but she’s been consistently nominated for ACM, CMT, CMA, and Country Now awards since her debut in 2014 after her time on The Voice.
4. Brynn Cartelli
This angel-voiced pop star in the works won Season 14 of The Voice, and she’s still considered the youngest person in the history of the show to win. Cartelli was only 15 when she competed on the program.
She took home the win for Kelly Clarkson’s team and released her debut album in 2024. Out Of The Blue quickly hit no. 8 on the iTunes Pop Album chart. Since then, she’s enjoyed quite a bit of success. Like Bradberry, Cartelli hasn’t won any awards yet. But we’re definitely expecting some wins in the future. Back in 2018, she was nominated for a People’s Choice Award and a Talent Recap Fan Choice award.
