The remarkable journey of Bryce Leatherwood from a small-town Georgia boy to a nationally recognized country music sensation continues to capture hearts worldwide. This talented singer-songwriter achieved what many dream of but few accomplish - winning the prestigious singing competition The Voice.
From Humble Beginnings to National Spotlight
Bryce Leatherwood was born on February 4, 2000, in Woodstock, Georgia, to parents Hope and Cliff Leatherwood. Growing up in a close-knit family of four, Bryce developed his passion for music early, influenced by his father and grandfather. His childhood was spent on his grandfather's farm alongside his younger brother Lance, forming the foundation of his authentic country roots.
The 25-year-old artist attended Sequoyah High School before pursuing higher education at Georgia Southern University, where he earned a business degree in 2022. Little did he know that his life was about to change dramatically that same year.
The Voice Victory That Changed Everything
In 2022, Bryce Leatherwood entered The Voice season 22 and emerged as the champion under the guidance of coach Blake Shelton. The competition, which premiered on September 21, 2022, featured judges including Camila Cabello and John Legend. His victory earned him $100,000 and a record deal with Universal Music Group Nashville in alliance with Republic Records.
In an interview with Front Row Live Ent., Bryce expressed his gratitude and surprise at winning: "There is no such... take every moment as it comes and don't do wishful thinking, do wishful working. I did all the work that I could and whatever decision was read was read, and I just couldn't be more proud to make everyone back home happy... and make sure to make music."
Building a Music Career After The Voice
Since his life-changing victory, Bryce has been diligently working on his music career. He formed his self-titled band in 2021 with bandmates Alex Smith, Eric Collars, and Logan Stephen, where he served as the acoustic guitar player.
His musical releases include songs like "The Finger" and his latest single "Neon Does," which dropped on February 2, 2024. He has also gained attention for his covers of classic country songs, including Travis Tritt's "Help Me Hold On" and Conway Twitty's "Goodbye Time."
The rising star has made several appearances at the legendary Grand Ole Opry and performed his song "In Lieu of Flowers" on Today show on May 14, 2025. His dedication to his craft is evident in his own words: "Am working my tail off, am trying to get music out there as soon as possible and working on my songwriting and my music career... I'm super excited to come out there to shows and tour... get out there and make a bunch of people happy and to perform to the best of my ability."
What's Next for the Country Music Star
Bryce Leatherwood is currently preparing for his upcoming tour across the American South, set to kick off on January 17, 2026, in Kingsville, Texas. He'll be performing at the Kleberg-Kenedy Junior Livestock Show, bringing his authentic country sound to fans nationwide.
Standing at 6 feet tall (183 centimeters) and weighing 165 pounds (75 kilograms), the blonde-haired, brown-eyed singer maintains a strong connection to his family. He shares a special bond with his grandfather, Jimmy McCallum, who twice defeated cancer, and frequently shares moments with his mother, who sometimes accompanies him to events like the Georgia Governor's Ball.
While his net worth remains undisclosed, his primary income stems from his flourishing music career. Though not married, he has been in a confirmed relationship with Lexi Houston, though their current status remains unclear since their last public appearance together in July 2021.
As Bryce Leatherwood continues to write and perform, his story serves as an inspiration to aspiring musicians everywhere, proving that with talent, dedication, and wishful working, dreams can indeed become reality.
