Jordan Smith auditioned with “Chandelier” and turned around all four coaches with his powerful voice. He joined Levine’s team and his last three performances were “Climb Every Mountain,” “God Only Knows,” and “Mary, Did You Know?” After winning Season 9, Smith got a contract with Republic Records.

After the show, Smith performed “You Are So Beautiful” at the People’s Choice Awards. He also released his debut album called, Something Beautiful. Smith’s voice is so powerful that even he was blown away by the album. As he told Parade:

The very first time I heard it, I was so moved by it. It is so crazy how it tells my story and what I believe so much, yet I didn’t write it. Stefan Macchio, who played piano for me, and the co-writer Lauren Christy were both there when I performed it, so it was really cool for me to have them there, but that song just speaks to me so much. It is full of little nuggets of wisdom. I think that it represents everything that I believe. It turned out to be the single so people can know exactly what kind of music they can expect from the album.

Things haven’t just been going well in his professional life — he also got married to his longtime girlfriend, Kristen Denny in Kentucky.
