The winner of The Voice Australia has revealed his debut single is about overcoming the "dark times" in his life and his battle to overcome low self-esteem.
Judah Kelly took home $100,000 in prize money and a contract with Universal Music on Sunday night after prevailing over fellow singer Hoseah Partsch with an emotional rendition of Climb Every Mountain from the musical The Sound of Music.
Speaking to Fairfax Media, Kelly said he was honoured to have been named this year's winner.
"I came in not really seeing myself getting very far at all in the competition," he said. "To be able to say that I won... it's everything."
Judah Kelly has been crowned the winner of The Voice 2017.
The 20-year-old also revealed his debut single was about battling "dark times".
"I've spent a lot of time not really believing in myself," he said. "I've had my dark times and I've had my struggles, but I've [always] had someone to help me along. So it's about having your troubles, but knowing that I've been there too. Everyone deserves to have that feeling [of someone looking out for them]."
Delta Goodrem - who coached Kelly to victory on Sunday night - said she was incredibly proud of her mentee for making himself vulnerable to not only herself, but the whole of Australia.
"With a relationship like this you have to be connected and open, you can't not have that layer of really understanding each other," she said.
The moment Judah Kelly, from Team Delta, found out he had won The Voice 2017.
"Life experiences give you depth to your voice, and everybody has a story, but I think the most crucial thing if you are born to be an artist is to be able to sing from that place that helps you share that in your voice."
Goodrem also revealed she would do a duet with Kelly "any day of the week".
"Right now, though, I can't wait to hear his album," she said. "I want him to get into the studio and get that done, because I just love his voice and I want to keep listening to it."
