Winning The Voice of the Country always looks roughly the same: confetti, the coach’s tears, a statuette in hand, and the feeling that tomorrow Spotify will call with an offer for a world tour. Reality, as usual, is a bit less television-ready.
On the eve of the 14 season of The Voice of the Country, which starts 25 October 2026, 24 Channel decided to recall all 13 winners. Some still fill halls, some teach vocal lessons, some went to serve, and some had to be literally searched for across social media after the final credits.
Ivan Hanzera – 1 season

The first winner of the show did not trade a quiet life for endless socialite parties. Ivan now lives in Korosten, works at the local Palace of Culture, has set up his own studio, records music, and performs for the military.
Pavlo Tabakov – 2 season

After his win, Pavlo continued his solo career, but recent years have brought much more serious trials. Before the full-scale invasion, the singer was diagnosed with cancer and was treated in Poland; after recovery he returned to concerts and music. In 2026 Tabakov is actively performing again.
Anna Khodorovska – 3 season

Here a complete reboot happened. The winner of 2013 now performs as Anna Manie: instead of the TV image of a young romantic vocalist — R&B, soul, original compositions, and work as a vocal coach. In 2026 she released the track love love love.
Ihor Grokhotskyi – 4 season

A former footballer, after winning on Svyatoslav Vakarchuk’s team, released original songs and definitively swapped the football field for music. Lately he’s been heard little in major Ukrainian media; in 2024 Grokhotskyi appeared in an interview on Ukrainian television in Canada, where he spoke about music, football, and his career.
Anton Kopytin – 5 season

After the show Anton toured, worked on musical projects, and was a vocalist on Dancing with the Stars. After the start of the full-scale war the father of many children moved with his family to Seattle in the USA, where he continued to work in music.
Vitalina Musiienko – 6 season

Once Svyatoslav Vakarchuk called her voice one that is born "once in a hundred years." After her win Vitalina did not rush to churn out hits, and later almost disappeared from the public eye. After the start of the large-scale war she evacuated from Kharkiv; photos from Italy and Tallinn appeared on social media, but news of an active stage career has been almost absent lately.
Oleksandr Klymenko – 7 season

Oleksandr was already a priest before the show, so he did not rush to build a pop career with smoke machines and dancers after his win. He continued his priestly and missionary service. In February 2026 Klymenko, among other things, met with students of the Volyn Theological Seminary.
Olena Lutsnko – 8 season

Olena won the show in 20, received an apartment in Kyiv, but later placed her bets not only on her own stage career. In Bila Tserkva she opened a vocal studio where she teaches children and adults and continues to work with music.
Oksana Mukha – 9 season

Oksana came to The Voice already an experienced artist and after her win she did not disappear. In 2022 the singer spoke about battling cancer; after treatment she returned to the stage, and in 2026 she continues to tour with the program "Retro of the Ukrainian Heart."

Roman managed to win both The Voice. Kids and the adult Voice of the Country — the talent show literally became a family tradition for him. However, recently he stepped away from the big stage: he works as a session musician in a studio and creates music for other artists. In 2026 it also became known about his divorce from his wife Ivanna.
Serhiy Lazanovskyi – 11 season

One of those cases when a career did not end with the finale. LAZANOVSKYI / RIDNYI tours Ukraine, takes part in charity trips abroad, and simultaneously teaches pop vocal at King Danylo University. However, in 2026 the artist openly spoke about a creative crisis.
Mariia Kvitka – 12 season

After her win Mariia did exactly what was expected of her: she did not go sing standard pop, but dove even deeper into Ukrainian folklore. In 2025 she released the album Roztsvit with ten old songs, continues to work as an ethnographer and costume artist. In addition, Suspilne reports that since 2022 Kvitka has been serving in the Defense Forces of Ukraine.
Mykhailo Panchyshyn (Ptashkin) – 13 season

The most recent winner so far has a story that the show’s writers did not even have to embellish. Panchyshyn fought, was concussed and partially lost his hearing, and after returning to music he won The Voice of the Country with his original song "Unknown Hero." Now Ptashkin performs, does charity work, and talks about music as one way of psychological rehabilitation for veterans.
