Asher HaVon made history Tuesday night by winning season 25 of The Voice singing competition on NBC.

Selma-born HaVon is the first Alabama native to win the show in its 13-year history, receiving a $100,000 prize and a record contract during the two-hour season finale Tuesday, May 21. Voters determined the winner, and the 31-year-old HaVon prevailed over four finalists: Josh Sanders (second place), Bryan Olesen (third place), Nathan Chester (fourth place) and Karen Waldrup (fifth place).

“Thank you for making me believe in myself, and I promise I will never let you down,” HaVon said. “I am truly humbled and grateful for this moment. First, thank you to God for this gift and this opportunity to share it.”
