It takes a special someone to turn one of those iconic red chairs around.
The Voice Australia is the singing reality show that sees everyday singers wow the celebrity coaches, including past singing superstars like Delta Goodrem, Keith Urban and Rita Ora with their voice alone.
Each season, there is a significant cash prize up for grabs and the chance for one aspiring artist to turn their dreams into reality.
So what have the winners been up to since?

“Leaving Los Angeles after 7 years, and moving to Denmark was heart breaking, humbling and tough.
