The season 26 champion has plans for his new music — and the Grammy winner is helping him out. You Won’t Believe What ‘The Voice’ Winner Sofronio Vasquez Is Doing with Michael Bublé.

It’s only been a week since Sofronio Vasquez was declared the winner of The Voice season 26, and he already has plans for what’s next — and how it includes his coach, Michael Bublé.

The Filipino singer emerged victorious on the most recent season of the NBC competition series, and as a prize, he won $100,000 and a recording contract with Universal Music Group. Even though Sofronio only just won The Voice, he shared with Parade he already has plans on how to kickstart his music career.

As it turns out, Sofronio has a lot of ideas in motion — and he’s working with Michael on them. He even shared how his coach is helping him find people to work with on his music, since he’s interested in songwriting but may need some help in one particular department.

“I tried writing songs, but English is not my first language,” he told the outlet in an interview published on December 12. “So, I would really love to hook up with a collaborator. Of course, with Michael Bublé’s idea, he knows who are the perfect people to be connected to and to be talking to. I’m going to trust in them, but, of course, I have a really good vision about my music so I’m so excited to be working on that.”

If that wasn’t enough to satisfy fans, Michael isn’t the only The Voice alum to help Sofronio out on this new phase of life.

As the singer added, he spoke with both season 24 winner Huntley and season 25 winner Asher HaVon at the season 26 finale, who he shared both had an impact on convincing him to join the show in his own time.

“It was really weird to be standing in front of them,” he stated. “The PR team said, ‘We’ve got all of you,’ so the trophy went from Huntley, who then passed it to Asher, who passed it to me. It’s like giving the power to the next winner. I told Asher and Huntley, ‘I was just watching you guys at home, and I was literally crying. I was inspired so much by your artistry and I really wished that I would be that one.’ And a year later, I am here.”

Even though it’ll be some time before we see Sofronio release original music, we can’t wait to hear what he has in store for his musical future. And given how his story is only just beginning, he’s just grateful for the opportunity he has here.

“Having to go through difficult adversities in life, I guess that’s the answer of me being redirected … through The Voice in the U.S. and I finally got the chair turn,” he concluded. “It’s the best redemption that I could ever imagine.”

We’re keeping out eyes peeled to see what’s next!
