Delpopolo revealed there were lots of excitement and lots of tears.

Alyssa Delpopolo, the 19-year-old powerhouse vocalist from Sydney, has been named the winner of The Voice 2025, instantly claiming the coveted grand prize: $100,000 cash and an all-inclusive recording development package.

The youngest finalist, Delpopolo quickly revealed her plans for the sizable winnings, stating her days of working at Bunnings are over as she launches her professional music career.

Delpopolo admitted to 7NEWS that self-doubt and childhood anxiety were major hurdles throughout the competition, but under the mentorship of coach Kate Miller-Heidke, she found the necessary confidence.

Miller-Heidke\’s final choice for Delpopolo, Celine Dion\’s demanding It’s All Coming Back To Me, was a powerful statement of belief in the young singer\’s talent.

Speaking about the moment she was announced as the The Voice champion, Delpopolo described overwhelming emotion: “I was crying, my parents were crying, everyone was crying.”

Now, the focus is entirely on the studio. Delpopolo confirmed on Sunrise that she intends to use the cash and development package to swiftly release new music, targeting the pop and RnB space.

She cited a clear musical inspiration for her direction: “Amy Winehouse is my number one inspiration—she always will be.”

Reflecting on her journey from being too shy to audition to performing a winning duet (Lose You To Love Me with Miller-Heidke), Delpopolo sees the title as a personal evolution.

\”I think about that girl before the show—she was very shy and had a lot of self-doubt,” she said. “It’s time to take a step into the new chapter in my life.”

She thanked the fans across Australia whose votes funded her new career: \”They made my dream come true. They made this happen for me.”
