How 'The Voice' Winner Alexia Jayy Plans to Spend Her $100K Prize Money
After winning season 29 of The Voice, Alexia Jayy can finally enjoy the fruits of her labor and decide what she's going to do with her $100,000 prize money.
"We haven't really thought about it, but I think we want to buy a house," Alexia, 31, exclusively shared with Us Weekly on Thursday, April 16, while celebrating her big win. "I think that's where we're going. We've been working really, really hard since I was a kid, and I just want something really special for my family."
Alexia - who is a mother of two children - lives in Mobile, Alabama, and doesn't plan on moving straight to a major city. Instead, she envisions a "little" relocation.
"We might move down the road," she said, "but still in the south."
For now, it's all about celebrating a historic victory. Alexia became the first Black woman to win the NBC singing competition series on Tuesday, April 14.
While all three coaches - Adam Levine, Kelly Clarkson and John Legend - turned their chairs for Alexia in the Blind Auditions, it was the Maroon 5 singer who landed the soulful songstress and helped her advance to the finals.
"Being from a small town in Irvington, Alabama, and being able to make history for them is amazing," Alexia shared about her win. "I've been singing since I was 2 years old, and so I never in a million years thought I would make history. But I'm glad that it's me, and I'm glad I'm in the number."
Since her win on The Voice, Alexia has already released a new single called "Rent Free."
In the future, she hopes fans will be able to hear an inspiring album with more than a few hits.
"We're gonna keep working. We're gonna put an album out, and I hope y'all love it," she shared. "I'm all about empowerment. I want to focus there, and I'm just gonna keep trying to get on these big stages and keep recording, keep working."
One person she remains extra grateful for is her coach. For all the fans who ask her what it's really like working with Adam, 47, behind the scenes, Alexia is happy to sing her praises for the rockstar.
"He's really cool, calm and collected, because I'm really cool, calm and collected," she told Us. "Our personalities match really well, and I like that. He doesn't like too much, and I don't do too much. So we really, really worked well together."
The Voice season 30, which will include Adam as one of the celebrity coaches, is expected to premiere in fall 2026 on NBC. Catch up on old episodes via Peacock.
