In 2025, David competed in the 27th season of The Voice. In the blind auditions, he sang "Baby, I Love Your Way" by Peter Frampton. Of the season's four coaches, only Michael Bublé turned his chair for David (John Legend, Kelsea Ballerini, and Adam Levine refrained). Bublé selected David to advance through the battle, knockout, and playoff rounds of the show. In the first live round, the semi-final, David finished in the middle four group of the twelve semi-final artists. Thus, he performed an "Instant Save" performance, allowing him to perform to potentially take the last spot in the finale. He won the "Instant Save" round and became the fifth artist in the finale of the show.
David was named the winner of the season on May 20, 2025, meaning Bublé had his second consecutive win, after his contestant in season 26, Sofronio Vasquez, won that season in December 2024. David won $100,000 and a record deal with Republic Records, a label owned by Universal Music Group. David is the second artist in the history of the show, after Bryce Leatherwood in season 22, to win the show after previously being in the "Instant Save" in the live shows.[4] While competing on The Voice, David released "Savior", his first single in eleven years. He described the single as reflecting "the night [he] began the process of treatment" towards sobriety.[5]
Artistry

Personal life
