2022: The Voice 

In 2022, Leatherwood entered the twenty-second season of The Voice, auditioning with "Goodbye Time" by Conway Twitty, based on Blake Shelton's 2004 cover of the song. Three of the four coaches, John Legend, Gwen Stefani, and Shelton, turned their chairs for him, with Leatherwood choosing to become a member of Team Blake. Throughout his run on the season, Leatherwood was characterized as a "country today, country tomorrow" artist. Leatherwood would go on to advance to the finale, where he was announced as the winner of the season, on December 13, 2022, earning a $100,000 prize and a deal with Universal Music Group. His victory marked Shelton's ninth and final win as a coach on The Voice, as well as the first instance in which the winner of the Wildcard instant save would go on to win the season. His win prompted mixed reactions online, with the show being accused of rigging the competition in his favor. 2023–present: After The Voice
