Who is Alexia Jayy? Singer crowned 'The Voice' Season 29 winner during NBC finale

Alexia Jayy has been crowned the winner of The Voice Season 29, concluding the NBC singing competition’s “Battle of Champions” finale on April 14.

Guided by coach Adam Levine, Jayy secured the top position after a season of performances that highlighted her vocal range and consistency. 

Following her victory, Jayy is set to release her new single “Rent Free” on April 15. The track is produced by Grammy Award winners Jack Splash and Jim Jonsin.

Speaking about the song, she said, “‘Rent Free’ is about knowing your worth. Sometimes people don’t realise what they had until it’s gone, and by then you’ve already moved on. But somehow, you’re still the one on their mind.”

Jayy’s journey began with a Blind Audition performance of “(You Make Me Feel Like) a Natural Woman”, which prompted all three coaches to turn their chairs. She ultimately chose Levine as her mentor and progressed through the competition with performances including “Nightshift”, “You Give Good Love”, and “I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Loved You)”.

In the finale, she performed “Lady Marmalade” and “One and Only”, and also joined Levine for a duet of “Sunday Morning” before being announced as the winner.

According to background information shared during the season, Jayy is an aspiring singer from Mobile, Alabama, who has pursued music from a young age. She has previously performed alongside Lauryn Hill and provided backing vocals for Muni Long.

A mother of two, Jayy has spoken about how her personal experiences have influenced her music, including her song “Who Raised You”. Her win marks a significant step in her professional career as she moves forward in the music industry.
