On 30 March 2025, Rose Datta was announced as the winner of the first season, coached by Aleighcia Scott.[3]
Overview
On May 2, 2024, it was announced that Wales would receive its own version of The Voice UK, set to premiere in 2025. The show, produced by Boom Cymru, will debut on S4C.[4][5][6][7]
The series, titled Y Llais (Welsh for The Voice), was hosted by Radio 1 DJ Sian Eleri.[1] On February 6, 2025, the full lineup of the series was announced, featuring opera singer Sir Bryn Terfel, reggae star Aleighcia Scott, musician and Côsh record label owner Yws Gwynedd, and singer-songwriter Bronwen Lewis, who had previously competed on The Voice UK.[1]
The show commenced with the Blind Auditions on February 9, 2025. During each audition, an artist performs while the coaches face away from them, with their chairs turned toward the audience. If a coach wishes to mentor the artist, they press a button to turn their chair and face the performer. If only one coach turns, the artist automatically joins their team. However, if multiple coaches turn, they compete for the artist, who then chooses which team to join. By the end of the Blind Auditions, each coach selects eight artists, resulting in a total of 32 contestants advancing to the next stage.[1] The coaches opened the series with a joint performance of O Wales.

Similar to The Callbacks in The Voice UK (Series 11–13), the next round will be The Recalls. In this stage of the competition, each coach's team will be narrowed down from eight contestants to three. The contestants perform a selected song, and their coach determines whether they are deserving of a place in the Semi-Finals.
Additionally, each coach is allowed to bring a special guest mentor to help with their decision-making. The guest mentors for this season are Elin Fflur, Steffan Rhys Hughes, Trystan Llŷr Griffiths and Alys Williams for Teams Bryn, Bronwen, Aleighcia, and Yws, respectively.
