It’s been 10 years since Jordan Smith walked away with the crown on The Voice Season 9. Back in 2015, under the guidance of coach Adam Levine, the Kentucky native wowed audiences and judges alike with his powerful vocals. His win wasn’t a fluke—he dominated the iTunes charts week after week, even surpassing Adele’s “Hello” during the finals of the show.

Since his victory on The Voice, Smith hasn’t always stayed in the spotlight, but that doesn’t mean he disappeared. In fact, he’s quietly built a steady career that reflects his musical roots and personal values. From new albums to TV appearances, Jordan’s journey has taken him far beyond the stage where America first fell in love with his voice.

So, where is Jordan Smith today? Let’s take a look at what the The Voice champ has been up to since winning it all.


Jordan Smith continues to make music after The Voice

Jordan Smith didn’t stop making music after The Voice—far from it. In February 2025, he released The People's Hymnal, his sixth album. While this record doesn’t include original songs, it’s deeply personal. The album is a collection of hymns and spiritual songs that he grew up singing, bringing a sense of nostalgia and authenticity to the project.

“They feel as much mine as a song could that I didn’t write myself,”

Smith said in an interview with Parade.

“They’ve just been staples throughout my life, songs that I’ve always known.”

He also noted that the project came from his “heart and creative brain,” even if he didn’t pen the songs himself.

The album reflects Smith’s roots and his enduring love for the music that shaped him—something fans of The Voice will remember from his time on the show.


Touring isn’t his favorite—but he’s still doing it

With The People's Hymnal out, Smith is preparing to hit the road again. A tour is in the works so he can share these meaningful songs with his fans in person. But touring isn’t his favorite part of being a musician.

“The older I get, the less I love the touring part of it,”

he admitted.

“I’m a homebody, so I love being home with my family and enjoying time with them.”

Still, he says it’s all worth it when he gets to meet fans face to face.

“The thing that makes it so worth it is the interactions and the connections that you make with people.”

Even if life on the road isn’t his passion, Smith remains dedicated to those who’ve supported him since The Voice. He’s showing up, singing his heart out, and staying connected with the people who helped launch his career.


He returned to TV with American Song Contest

Jordan Smith made a return to the small screen in 2022. This time, however, it was on NBC’s American Song Contest. Representing Kentucky with the original song “Sparrow,” Smith impressed both the audience and the judges.

He finished in third place overall, a result he was genuinely happy with.

“That was the best I could ask for considering the caliber of talent on that show,” he shared in a post-show interview.

The competition reunited him with a national audience and reminded fans of his vocal power.

While The Voice introduced him to America, shows like American Song Contest have helped keep his name and talent in the public eye. It’s proof that even years after his win, Smith is still relevant and respected in the music world.


Jordan Smith is still happily married

Back in June 2016, just months after winning The Voice, Jordan Smith married Kristen Denny. Their relationship has stayed strong ever since. On Valentine’s Day 2025, Smith confirmed that the couple is still going strong by sharing a wedding photo on Instagram with the caption,

“My forever valentine. I love you more than words.”

Their marriage has always been a quiet, steady presence in his life. Even as his career grew, he’s remained grounded in his personal relationships. Fans who followed his love story during his journey on The Voice will be glad to know that happily ever after still holds true.


So, what’s ahead for Jordan Smith? More music, more performances, and a continued presence in the world he first entered thanks to The Voice. He may not be dropping hit singles every other month or living in the headlines, but he’s doing what matters to him—and that includes connecting with fans, honoring his roots, and growing as an artist.

While his path might not look like the traditional celebrity route, Smith has carved out a meaningful career. Whether it's through spiritual music, occasional tours, or heartfelt moments on social media, he's remained true to himself.

And that’s exactly what made people vote for him on The Voice in the first place.
